I had to ask, "Did you just say 'pads on ice cream'?" Indeed he did:
pads = big fat chords played on the 1 beat and sustained for the duration of the measure (or something like that)Whodathunk? I want to say stuff like that, "Just lay down some pads on ice cream, daddy-o". Maybe I'll just make up my own slang: "Gimme some couplets on gravy." "Throw down some backbeats on butter." "Try it with some quarter notes on quinoa." They'll be like, man that guy is far out, he must really know his stuff.
ice cream = that classic doo-wop 1, 6, 4, 5 chord progression ("At least that's what we called it on the East Coast," he explained)
Yeah.
"like"
