Thanks - the tritone substitution and dominant 7ths part of the video in particular really made something click with my understanding of *why* certain things work - and the fact that the descending series of 7ths is something obvious to noodle around with even without knowing the theory. Great stuff!
Great vid as always! I was just messing with progressions like these. Here's one I came up with! Each bracket is two beats long. For example, [2213-1113]--[0002], here 0002 is played for two beats. Here is my turnaround: [5757]--[5656-5657]--[79810]--[4557-4546]--[2435-2433]--[2325-2323]--[2215-2213]--[1113-1111]---->finish with 4200 Tabbed chords are written g string to a string. This was kind of a chore to type but I don't know a better way to do this lol I know tritone subs are supposed to sound really out there but religiously watching Kimo Hussey's low g ukulele videos when I first started really got my ear used to hearing Dbmaj7 in the key of C. Now I kind of demand their presence when I play uke haha
JP this is a killer one! i love how you're using suspensions throughout to create that descending melody on the A string. Agreed with you on the Db7 in C. I feel like once your ear gets it in there it's a real natural sound and listening to Kimo will certainly do that!
when referring to the “pesky bass player” you should say, “pesky bass *instrument* player.” I had many happy years playing with a tuba holding down the bottom end, both as a duo and as part of a quartet (and occasional trio).
@@Banjoleletinman no, but I did listen to an acid rock trio who’s bass player was a bassoon. it’s been so long ago I can’t remember their name, but they were playing at the Crocodile Café in Seattle and I was seriously blown away.
@@Banjoleletinman I’d argue with you on that except for the fact that you’re right. one more detail about the Croc. its music room was a low-ceilinged, narrow, cement space and its sound man behaved like it was a freaking arena. just thinking about it makes my ears bleed. ah, youth! I’d go back again if I wasn’t trapped in this musical wasteland (aka Kalamazoo) until I die.
