New Bergonizifier Feature - Rests

Finally got around to adding another feature to the Bergonzifying Transmogrifier.

Now you can add a rest as part of the Transmogrification, so you can get a little more interesting rhythmic permutations.

The "rest" choice is the last choice in 3 of the drop downs now. You gotta have one note or else...whats the point?

It means you can get stuff like this now:

One Rest

Two Rests

Two Rests and Two Notes

So enjoy and go nuts with it.

Here are a bunch of links to things regarding the playing of the electric bass guitar.

1. http://www.jazzcapacitor.com/ - New site that collects a bunch of great jazz transcriptions, a few that have been linked to from here previously. Lots of good stuff, Ron Carter, Scott La Faro and others. All in PDF and free as in beer.
   
   
2. The Bee-Gee's Bass Player - You are going to be famous. I know. A rock star. I know. And make your living playing forever. I know. But, you should read this. This guy played some pretty big gigs and now he teaches at a community college in Florida. So maybe learning the names of those scales isn't such a bad idea after all.
   
   
3. http://deftdigits.com - A new player in town has started a web site with a bunch of musical knowledge, not unlike this humble tome. Check out Joe from From the Woodshed new site for lessons.
   
   
4. A Japanese bass player I haven't heard of freaked out on a plane and then killed himself in jail.

On that cheery note, enjoy your Tuesday.

How Have You Used The Transmogrifier? Hmm? Huh? Have you? Didya? Huh? Well?

Sometimes I sit and wonder about things. Various things. Random things.

Today it has been about the Transmogrifier.

Have you at least tried The Bergonzifying Transmogrifier?

Why not?

Not into patterns?

Think it is too mechanical?

Because it is "just for jazz and I don't play jazz"?

Opposed for moral reasons?

Because it has not been certified dolphin-free? (note: The paperwork has
already been submitted)

If you have used it, and clearly you represent the elite percentage of musicians with taste and intelligence, what did you do with it?

What patterns did you make?

What instrument do you play?

Did you print your patterns out?

Did you save the mp3's of your patterns?

Where did you hear about it?

Well, take 20 seconds and let me know in the comments section. Cmon! 20 seconds! Geez.
