    TOTM - The Art of Solo Vibes - QDV-SOC On Solo Playing - Pt. 1

    tonymiceli 13 August 2012

    QDV = Quick and Dirty Video
    SOC = Stream of Conciousness

    That's exactly what this vid is. I don't have my equipment at my house at the time of this video. So I just threw up an overhead cam and mic.

    Is this helpful to anyone? I got more of them. I was just picking tunes and playing and talk about solo playing.

    Let me know what you think.
