  1. Reframing the move on Bottas, which resulted in contact and a puncture, as brilliant is an interesting evaluation. You forgot to add that he hit Magnussen when trying to overtake him too, also brilliant? Making contact with three cars in one race is good going even for Verstappen.
  2. Thanks for this Tim. That vocal at 1:54 is insane. (I was going to write voc(oder?)al at 1:54, but I think it's legit)
  3. Exactly! (I think we made the same point. Ferrari=Leclerc)
  4. Another race ruined by VSC. Not just at the front, all the way down the grid. But Ferrari made a big mistake pitting Leclerc a second time. Really smacked of them treating Bottas, the 2nd driver in the championship, with no respect. They thought Leclerc driving right by him would be a formality.
  5. Could this be just about the most aussie post ever? (Also not meaning to inflame, but as an ex-pat, this is the sh!t that makes me miss home)
  6. Also not being that and just trying to do that. Too also means excessively (as in "Too pedantic, CountFosco").
  7. Yes, it's right there on page 28. I had the answer to my original question sitting in my "to read" list. Thanks Darren.
  8. That's gorgeous. Great recording too, evident even through my laptop speakers. Going to give that a proper listen later.
  9. This site mentions "extended blues scale" and describes it as "The extended blues scale is the major and minor blues scale combined. The extended blues scale gives you some interesting shapes to play that produce both a funky and gospel infused sound." https://www.pianogroove.com/blues-piano-lessons/blues-scale-improvisation-tutorial/ Perfect, thanks Toano.
  10. It wasn't really the flat 3 / nat 3 thing that caught my attention in the original video. The major blues scale already has that, and #9 extensions are a ubiquitous requirement in funk covers. What intrigued me was the number of notes Rai had available to create his licks and trying to work out how to make them available to me. I like the name "Greater Blues Scale", I'm going to use that. And googling that in quotes returns zero results, very cool dazzjazz.
  11. What the good doctor said works for me.
  12. Yeah that sounds like a reasonable way to look at it. For the most part, any lick uses only one of the flat or nat 3.
  13. Thanks Math, I'm going to work on incorporating this more into my playing. Regarding the mega-scale over all three chords thing, I still hear Rai switch up scales (somehow) for each chord. He makes a particular point of highlighting this when he moves from G to C - I guess the Eb and F# come into play, and he gets a bit more mileage out of the Enat. I think the scale change itself is also part of what makes this jam sound next level.
  14. I watched this vid a few times last night, to try to decipher the scales Rai uses. The piece is a major 12 bar blues in G. To my ear, he's using a scale which combines all notes of major and minor blues scales for each chord. And he's not jumping in and out of the major or minor mode, he uses it as a scale in its own right. For eg on the G he's using all of: G Bb C Db D F + G A Bb B D E = G A Bb B C Db D E F which is essentially all notes of a G chromatic apart from Ab, Eb and F#. (b2, #5, #7) Is this a thing? Does this scale have a name?
