Ep 103103: ShallowFakes - Mimed GuitarPro, Sped Up Videos & 'Improvised' Jams

Everything is fake these days. In the 90s all we had to worry about was Thom Yorke and his plastic trees, but today it's the news, the deep...and now, worst of all...we've got fake guitar playing on the Gram. So the guys convene to tackle the recent hubbub of mimed, sped up shred vids and the community response to it. The discussion then turns to a more interesting subtler shade of grey: 'Jam' videos with composed solos either explicitly passed off as improvised or implied to be improvised. Guess who's passions are high on this one 😹 This is a great episode with strong debate tackling the important blurry boundaries between writing, improvisation, presentation, perception and preservation of image.

Ep 102102: Expanding Your Harmony Beyond The 7 Diatonic Chords (With Quayle, Beebee & Lots Of Whiskey)

Tom and Beebee are away drinking all the whisky on the Scottish island of Islay, BUT…still find time (and sobriety) to sit down with guitars and nerd out on a special episode. This week they answer listener feedback email to the grade exam episodes and talk about the parallels of wood obsession between whisky connoisseurs and guitar nerds. Next, they break the "this podcast isn't a lesson" line, and talk about expanding the number of chords that work within a key. Surprise, there are a lot more than 7! This is a fun teaser and a window into some of the more lessony type content that is in the Patreon bonus episodes and Practise Posse live streams. This weeks aftershow bonus for the Patreon edit features no banter, but Tom and Beebee in a whisky fuelled jam over a couple of standards.

Beebee's lost in the Italian mountains, Tom is releasing his fire hydrant of harmony in Spain and Jake, well we don't know what Jake's up to this week...but for someone who's not a Northerner he spends a lot of time down pit. So until the team return we have a fascinating pre-recorded interview with Joe Mulholland and Tom Hojnacki, authors of the Berklee Book of Jazz Harmony. This conversation delves into the background, context and scope of the book, harmony at Berklee, the source of conflation for tonal and modal harmony problems in guitarland and much more. This is a shorter episode than normal, but it gets heavy and spawns some new avenues to spiral down with further research, reading and exploration. Huge thanks to Joe and Tom for coming on.

There are some Beebee nerd questions in the middle before the big topic.. The guys revisit the area of mental health and musical identity in light of Jacks' recent (and excellent) YouTube video, where in he opens up with his struggles of the of the last few years and recent return to social media. This is a wonderful episode and I (Beebs breaking the wall here) want to thank Jack for having such an open, honest conversation about this stuff. The previous episode we did on this, 52. was of tremendous help for my own inner workings (Beebee breaking the wall here) and judging from the feedback and response to it, was relatable and helpful for many of you out there. We pick things back up here framed around Jack's experience, however the conversation is multifaceted and the result is a rich discussion on the ups, down and managing when the wobbles come.

Ep 8888: Measuring Your Guitar Progress & The Edge Of Ability

Quayle, Willson & Beebee reconvene for a follow up on playing consistency, which, quickly turns into a discussion on how to measure ones guitar progress in a healthy objective manner. Beebs guinea pigs an example of Giant Steps with legato and discovers that consistency may not be the issue after all. Light is shed on the effects of always playing at the edge of ones ability. Finally the guys cover some Facebook discussion group chat and ponder why students find descending scales harder than ascending.
