Lesson

Yo guys,

One of the requests I get for the vibe hangs is that I'll devote time and answer some questions that people might be having.

I'm thinking about setting up some times 'office' hours. I can go online live for an hour here or there and if you guys have any questions we can talk about them. for now, i'd probably do it like the vibe hangs and you guys would have to type the questions. But I think we could get 3 or 4 of us on skype and try it like that sometime.

Restricting your options is a great way to get freed up on the vibes.

Here's a vid from an online workshop that we did recently. It's with Steve Giordano and John Swana. We talk about learning tunes, playing without a bass and practicing.

I didn't put this up already did I?

I'll check some hotel prices out over the next couple days. Everyone says to use priceline.com, that because of the recession you can get hotels very cheap.

If you want to keep track of this post, just make a comment even if it just says keeping track. Then when I update it I'll post a comment and you'll be notified.

I always like that progression and I'm not a theory guy, but I have my version on why it works and what it's about. I was actually going to make podcast about it, but I thought instead I'd open it up for discussion first.

What do you think about that progression? Why is it you can slip in a C#dim in between a repeating dominant chord??

I'll leave it at that.

In this study we work on the tune 'Take the A Train' and study it from top to bottom!
