   Over the years I’ve been keeping a list of great “musical micro-moments”—unusual chord changes and other fleeting musical oddities that I like. The list is probably too music-geekish for me to ever publish anywhere, but here are a couple of random items from it:

     1. The utterly f'd guitar chord by John Mclaughlin at :51 in this Jack Bruce song. Hearing this at age 16 was a musical revelation for me. https://youtu.be/WfUa1-3LO6w

     @dmandl Wow, what a hilarious blotched note. (And I thought before I heard it that it would be something I *wouldn't* hear.)

     @dmandl The Beach boys change surely could have been mixed in better!

     @watchpocket It's intentional, not botched!

     @dmandl The John McLaughlin? Intentional? It sounds terrible.

     @dmandl It doesn't sounds intentional at all. But maybe someone as masterful as he is doesn't botch notes.

     The Beach Boys edit was intentional, yes. I meant the John McLaughlin was botched. You described it as "f'd."

     @watchpocket I was talking about McLaughlin. i didn't mean he made a mistake, I was talking about the aesthetics of it, and it's a compliment: "I played a totally fucked guitar solo on that song!" See also: "sick."

     @watchpocket I love it. And IMO there's no way it's a mistake. It's "sick."
