I've been recording a bunch of tunes the last couple months. And I've let them sit for all this time. Now I'm going back to them and it's a great experience to do this.
I'm see myself play one tune over and over and work through problems…
I mentioned about pausing the TOTM and do a huge chord and harmony study. 2011 Vibesworkshop Chord and Harmony Festival!

By now I'm sure everyone has heard about the passing of Steve Jobs at the age of 56. A few thoughts: I don't have an iPad. I don't even have a MaxiPad. I'm a confirmed PC user, I don't have an iPod, an iPhone or an iChing. However, that…

I just liked at my account and I have unlimited storage for music! So I'm now…

- After a few ones, he sent…

I was thinking about a lot of the blues lessons we've been putting up lately. And this thought popped in my head.
We don't always focus directly on technique, but anything well played is an etude, a chop builder and an all around…

When you come into rehearsals what do you expect to happen? Do you have order to your rehearsals? Is there a leader, or does everyone just work together?
For me personally, i prefer to walk in with a set idea of what to do. Whether its…

I was thinking that after this TOTM (blues) is over that maybe we should spend at least a month studying chords. How about an intense month of chords???
What do you guys think? Everything I and hopefully some of the other guys can think…
