What do you mean it doesn't land well on that blue note? It sounds perfect if you are trying to create something that sounds creepy and will send you to Hell where you belong for sharing such evilness on the innerweb!! I sure hope you can run really really fast a'cause there's a lightenin' bolt with your name on it just waiting for the right moment!!!! 🤣 Actually, I think that blue note is part of one of those really old time scales that predate the blues. I can't remember if it's Mixolydian, Dorian, or another ian. I watched a video the other day of someone playing our modern Major scale and the M and D scales over a blues progression to demonstrate how they fit or don't fit well. It was either the M or the D that fit perfectly with blues.

Hey Elli! So, I happen to own the Spark 40 too and stumbled upon your channel while desperately searching on KZbin for a comparison between the Spark 2 and the Spark 40. And guess what? I found your video! But here's the thing, amidst all my comparisons, I discovered one more awesome difference - you don't need a separate computer to update the firmware! How cool is that? Oh, and by the way, I actually watched your video till the very end, just like you said. And you know what? I ended up binge-watching more of your informative videos, and I couldn't resist hitting that subscribe button. You've got yourself a new fan!

By definition, colloquialisms do not alter the true meaning of a word and are only applicable to to a very limited demographic from which a viewer accepts and applies a "colloquialism". . If all that was needed was the awareness of "a trick" in your videos, everyone that viewed and applied such Tricks would be a skilled and proficient player. Or instead, would I have to learn "another" trick. And " another" after that such a a magician must do. Where does it end. I contend with hard work, dedication, commitment, and hard practice.
