do you think people will be sad when the polar ice cap is gone

how does your wife feel about the prevalence of christian names being used as slang on the internet for public reaction videos and incel discussions? do you think The Tuss artists would be given different names if it was released in 2021?

nope. people will be too busy adapting to their new material conditions for that

sadness is the privilege of the rich

Heat or night?

Chicken wings - boneless or boneful?

Ice water - avec or sans ice?

If you were on death row, what would your last meal be?

i already answered that in a different thread recently

in short, i don't have an opinion anymore. also, i couldn't give a shit. i've lost all interest in history since it's completely irrelevant to my concerns

yo my dude i checked that on the keyboard and my fave voicing is G#ø/A#, so basically the same as root position but with the 9th in the bass. so it becomes an A#7alt, if i'm not mistaken. 

it's a voicing i've often seen barry harris play during his lessons as the 5 in a minor 2-5-1. very basic but so pretty imo. here's me playing it, the 2 is also barry's, i only took liberties with the 1 

you're welcome to correct me if i made any theory mistake, happy to learn. btw 1st time i play piano in months, been having fun jamming for hours. i wouldn't have played if it wasn't for you asking that question so thx a lot dude, you have a very positive influence on me! my mom would approve of our friendship lol 

what's your fave voicing of it btw?

Nice one, yeah those notes definitely make up A#7 altered, and you're right it's the same scale (from B jazz-minor).  G#mi7b5 itself functions as the ii in a minor ii-V-i in F# minor. The ninth on it is a colour note to emphasize the mode (locrian #2 or whatever: sixth mode of jazz-minor) and is a nice leading tone to the b13 on a C#7^alt then going to F#mi9  (A#-A-G#) 

I forgot to ask if you play guitar or piano, cause I myself only play piano (can't do shit on a guitar) but I am very interested in guitar voicings and "guitar mentality" I guess you coul say lol. 

Your mom sounds cool. And I'm glad I've had a positive influence!
