This week Beebs, Smith and Quayle welcome back YouTube jazz educator Jens Larsen to discuss their approaches to harmonic analysis, chord scale theory and tonal centres.

So grab yourselves a massive coffee, a chart for the standard There Will Never Be Another You (if you want to follow along with some of the back and forth) and smash that play button!

| 08 Aug 2019 | 90: Berklee Harmony - Interview With Joe Mulholland & Tom Hojnacki | 00:49:30 | |
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. (Apologies for the occasional structure and audio issues on this episode, there were a few technical glitches which resulted in some unsalvageable audio!)

Dan, Beebs and TQ sit down to discuss the idea of a core minimal skill set that's been floated briefly on previous episodes. What it is, why it might be important to be aware of, and then go on to talk about the various contexts of their own work and the skills required to pull it all of - musical or otherwise.

They also finally get round to some discussion group comments and tackle the idea of learning, absorbing and utilising licks in solos.

| 30 Aug 2018 | 43: Fighting The Piano Player, Old vs New Vocab, Putting Music Theory In An Order? | 00:49:04 | |
This week the guys experiment recording whilst on instagram live. What could possibly go wrong?! Content wise, they finally make sense of the podcast numbering system, Dan has a new axe on the way whilst Beebs is shaking virtual maracas dressed as Batman. In other news they talk about how to play with a piano player in a duo/trio situation, re-imagining tunes you've played a million times, old vs new vocab and just what/how should we approach it. Finally they take some live questions and try to put music theory in some kind of order to learn!

Another early morning podcast recording the the boys. So much so that we discuss time management and the plate spinning of being a self employed guitarist working in multiple fields.

| 31 Oct 2019 | 102: Expanding Your Harmony Beyond The 7 Diatonic Chords (With Quayle, Beebee & Lots Of Whiskey) | 01:32:42 | |
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.

Things turn towards no-NAMM chat, virtual NAMM chat and the interesting events of the last few weeks. There’s a surprising amount of questions raised about Californian toilets (restrooms for our American listeners) and Beebee almost lets slip details of Tom’s special NAMM bog. This weeks’ extended Patreon edit is most definitely not safe for work, Jake shares an anecdote and Beebs recounts tales of his stag doo (Bachelor party).

They get into the weeds about writing, working out parts, fretboard visualisation, instagram, identity and living in the cracks between rock and jazz. Enjoy Guys!

| 17 Jan 2019 | 63: Practising Habits, Pre-NAMM, New York Fibenare Clinic, Hamilton, Music Films (w/Jake Willson) | 01:47:10 | |
Friend of the show Jake Willson returns for a reet banga! Smith and Beebs have nothing planned so they call in the big guns: Jake ‘2 L’s in Hell’ Willson. They talk about the hit musical he’s depping on ‘Hamilton’ before embarking on what is the longest intro detour the podcast has ever had. A passing comment about a movie trailer sends everyone tumbling down a discussion on ‘music films’, and how harmony and chord progressions, whilst toxic and uncool in the Top 40, routinely set the box office alight with recent chord-stuffed hits like The Greatest Showman, La La Land and A Star Is Born. The guys ponder the philosophy of art and its historical context, and Beebs can’t stop banging on about Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. When things get back on track discussion turns to the upcoming NAMM show travels and prep the guys are doing for the Fibenare clinic all 3 are giving at Rudy’s Music in NY. Jake and Beebs also reveal details of their incoming signature Fibenare models. The guys will be travelling for the new few weeks, so the usual schedule might be a bit skewed, but the intention is to keep the wheels on the podcast with new episodes.

They take a closer look at what it is, why it’s so notoriously tricky, how they’ve all tackled it in the past, and what you may or may not gain from attempting this ultimate jazz Tough Mudder. This week in the Patreon aftershow there’s an extended followup on language/vocab, Giant Steps and Tom and Beebee accidentally jam GS over zoom, with the result being 90s dial-up modem nonsense.

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.
