I've been enjoying playing through this etude. First, I posted a slow and clear version, and then a faster version. I think the piece sounds better at a faster pace, because it gives the lines more cohesion. However, t's still a work in progress. I think if I play with it for another week or two it should feel a lot more comfortable and fluid.

Hi Everyone,

At the Phila workshop a couple of weeks ago, Tony mentioned being a big fan of the book, "Peak."

I'm in the process of finishing that book up and as he had mentioned, it's loaded with some great information on what some of the world's thought leaders on "expertise" are learning and sharing with us.

Brooke,

Get the voicings here together and then add your own rhythms. Get it?

Also analyze the voices and write in the uppertials and the original chords.

cool?

I had a good lesson with David Friedman at the Philadelphia workshop. We focused entirely on pedaling. David pointed out that my sound was very 'dry'. I had never really noticed it, but now I hear it every time I listen to a recording of myself.

I've attached two different practice tapes working on pedaling over "How Deep is the Ocean?" and "You Don't Know What Love Is". I'm playing with the metronome and playing mostly single notes rather than chords.

Critical feedback welcome.
