I ordered some coins last November, still have not received them. I've tried calling, leaving voicemails, emailing, and have not been contacted back. Does anyone know if they are even still in business? Is there another way to contact them?

Very disappointed with the lack of communication and losing out on $100.

Edit: Thanks for the replies, everyone. I'll continue to reach out and will be sure to never purchase or recommend anything from Roy Keuppers.

Just did one of my first public gigs, 2 hours providing background music (different from being on a stage and being the focus, I acknowledge) at a community event. Tons of fun. I play lead electric guitar, in my group, and just like when my group gets together and jams, I ended up improvising most of my solo's.

Got me thinking, how many of you are improvising during live performances, or what would be the ratio between "rehearsed solo's - improvised solo's"?

Also, if anyone has any tips/lessons learned to share about improvising live, please share!

Edit: If you play but aren't someone who solo's (maybe only rhythm, for example), what kind of stuff do you want OR not want from your bandmates that do solo?

Hope the title's notation is correct.

I've noticed if you play the V's scale over whatever the key is, it sounds "right". An example:

Key is Am
if i noodle in Em (the V), is sounds fine

Really just curious for my own understanding why this is. Is this because most of the notes are shared in the 2 scales? Is there a specific use case on when to apply this?

I'm noticing more and more a certain lick (I think that's the correct term) in rock and blues. If we're in a minor key, you bend the 4 then hit the 7 so they ring out. Not sure if this relationship has a name.

When do you use this "lick"? On the turn around? When a certain chord in being played, like the 4? Any thoughts?
