"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."
August 14, 2009 | The music world loses a legend; Les Paul
We couldn't let this go by without a mention. It can be argued the music world would literally not be what it is today without the contributions of pioneer Les Paul who passed away yesterday at the ripe age of 94. Not only did he develop the electric guitar (and the signature Les Paul & SG lines), he was responsible developing multi-track recording techniques commonly used today. He was also a brilliant musician, hanging with the likes of Bing Crosby, Django Rheinhardt, Chet Atkins, and may of the worlds rock legend icons.
