Just some quick tips I was thinking about with chord voicings. You know the goal is to be quick with all the voicings. So you have to practice moving around the instrument and getting familiar with the voicings. That takes a lot of work…

I was practicing, and as it often happens, I played a few notes that sounded familiar, but I didn't know what it is. Then I recalled it was from the Cal Tjader Soul Sauce album. The song was "Somewhere in the Night".http://www.…

There would be so much to say about Tony Miceli… Hmm... sure he’s not (yet) a super star. Not a top model. He readily and openly describes himself as a little overweight and sometimes even a bit tactless. He only has his little basement…

I definitely don't want to play with him when he's 15! What's really cool is he didn't know how to play 4s and was just learning on the gig right there. But this is a little Gary Burton on Guitar. Remember he's 11 years old.
