New Age time signatures are 3 2 8th notes below.
3 pairs of 8th notes.
You mean you put the number 3 on top?
Not the 3 on top, but instead of having a quarter note,
3 8th, you mean the meter?
Instead of having a quarter note down there, you write 2 8th notes.
The reason is to show that the feel is
rhymatically
normal?
Well, in 6 8th, the normal feel is
it's
two groups of 3.
But when Wes goes to solo in 6 8th, he's a special guy.
He plays a lot of times 3 8ths, if the feel is already 6.
If the feel is 4 4, then 6 feels over 4.
He likes to go against the brain.
So when he's going
He doesn't go
Not so much
I'm not so much
It's 6 8th.
6 8th in jazz is actually 3 groups of 2, not 2 groups of 3.
That's only like take 5, which if it were in 6
Then we'd be used to hearing
Anyway, most jazz in 6, or 6 8th, or 12 8th,
or guys who play it in 3 now, jazz 3, jazz waltz,
it's all this
With or without every note being covered all the time.
All I was watching is the jazz 8ths.
Yeah, but see, jazz waltz is part of jazz, right?
You know that feel.
Of course, the jazz waltz
Well, that's one way to play it, but what about your solo?
We would think
Looking at 6 8th in classical literature, you see
Like Jason Joy Massar is a 9 8th.
Because Bach used 3 groups, but if you
In 2 groups, if you heard it as
And then a new bar here, it'd be 6 8th.
So jazz soloing doesn't sound like
It's way too light-hearted for the jazz style.
The jazz guys are
Just 3 groups of 2.
They make the groove.
I just want to let you know, that's Wes' solo.
Thank you.
So I wrote this thing
Because you might say, why is Ted trying to be different here than the rest of the planet?
And I'm not.
I'm just trying to show what is going on.
I just had to write this in on this paper.
It's 3 groups of 2.
They cut out all the musical sounds.
Oh, is that nice?
Now you said somebody else is going to publish it.
Yeah, I'm going to put it in the Jazz Contemporary. Will they?
He said he will take it for the big.
Great.
It's a nice cut.
I should have got it from my mom.
Now, when I saw Wes play on the videos, he's smooth.
The thing I didn't notice
He almost never uses this finger for soloing.
In the Guitar Player article, some man wrote a lot of stuff that's
That kind of stuff where you go
For Gm7, notice the F triad and the Bb triad and the Dm.
He put a lot of junk in there.
Wes hasn't done all that.
But unfortunately, one horrible thing, and you can probably regret this,
he said that Wes did all his octaves with Ds.
What we know from watching the video, he does like what we thought.
Ds, Ds.
Having said that, I was going to publish this
and I was convinced that these, after hours of reflection,
these were Wes's fingerings.
Until I went back and watched the video.
Which video are you referring to?
There's some Wes videos commercially available.
Not Vestaport or
Yeah, yeah, Vestaport.
So
His hands are so huge, that for him to go
He's covering five frets with ease.
He looks like Van Halen in that sense.
It's funny how three of the world's icons
