The girl-singer in my group sings "Autumn Leaves" in Dm; she says it's the key Rita Reys uses on "Jazz Pictures At An Exhibition" (1961). Same key as Bach ;-)

Anyway, in terms of thinking: the tune in one flat (F or Dm) offers the fun of using a B natural and a C# in the last 3 bars of the A part,treating the A7 as a dom7 for Dm7-Dm6; or a Bb and a C#, over A7b9 (Bbdim) in the B part.

[jazz_guitar] Xotic EP or Xotic RC

Anyone tried either of these pedals? Xotic customer service recommended either model for my 1949 Fender TV Front Pro amp. When I pressed him, he leaned more to the Xotic RC Booster.
It's easier for me to get a clean boost for my large amplifier rather than buying an expensive attenuator like the THD Hot Plate. I heard they drive amps hard anyway, and I'm not sure how to connect it to my amplifier that has minimal inputs.

Yes!

If you ask me, to "learn arpeggios" is to be able to play the chord tones in a melodic fashion all over the fretboard. Whatever that takes. You can base your visualization of the chord tones on CAGED system, other systems, three-note-per-string fingerings, whatever. The point is, learn to find the chord tones for any chord. And to be able to play the notes in any order. That is, IMO, a lot more important than scales in learning to improvise over chord changes.

Re: [jazz_guitar] Headphones suited for guitar?

It would be good to listen to as many as you can. If you have that
luxury try to listen to some of the Grado Labs phones. They are
mostly open back cans so they may not be the best for live recording
depending on your signal path and near by open mics. They have ton's
of detail, at least the SR 325s do, in reverb tails and high and

Will,

It's OK to learn arps from someone else, but there is always the danger of sounding stilted and similar to someone else. I work with the great Joe Diorio, who teaches you how to develop arps off chord shapes, slash chords, stacked chords and patterns based on the work of Slonimsky (sp?) and many other ethereal sources. As I explore these sources, which are limitless, I find some very interestiing new ideas. He recently showed us how he took some phrases from works of Bach and created, right before our very eyes/ears, some great arps.

I just love the sound of a standard drop 2 Cmaj7 in root pos on the 3rd
fret with the A melody note above on the 1st string, pretty conventional
sound Cmaj13,
cheers Greg

bach made a border decoration on the title page of his main copy of "the
well-tempered clavier". to me it looks like some donuts connected with some
archs.
lehman sees a kind of tunnig or a kind of scale ( F C G D A E G# D# A#)

My mistake. I knew that, I just confused that knowledge with the fact that Wes played Misty in G. There's only so much information that fits in my head. Every time I learn something new, something else falls out the bottom...

I few years ago I attended a master class with Bobby Broom and I clearly remember his advice "Get on the bandwagon – learn your scales and arpeggios." One really great way start learning what actual notes are used in certain arpeggios is to sit down with the sheet music (not tab,) to Pachelbel's Canon in D and work through it. This is not hard and very worthwhile.

Actually, I think you are referring to Catholicism, and not Christianity.
