The Vibesworkshop Chops Festival!

Ok, I think we've really worked hard on solo playing. I mean it's obvious some of us have and I assume some of you are working and not posting. Who knows though if you don't post. But I think those of us active on the site have gotten a lot out of all.

So let's start the Chops Festival. Etudes, exercises and more. Things that will help us build our technique.

Technique is funny because most of us have more of it than we really need. For some of us it's a super power. For some of us we use that super power for good and others for evil! I do know sometimes that i do use this super power for evil! I play too many notes. I recently did a concert and got the mp3 back from the concert. We only played 2 tunes and one of them I couldn't stand my playing. Too fast, too many notes, I sounded lame. It pissed me off. Why didn't I just chill out and settle into things. But it's too late now. It's over.

So please use this super power for good as often as you can. Sometimes you can just let 'em rip and see what happens!

So let's dig stuff up, create new stuff and work on our chops. Ready.... Set.... Go!!!
