Thinking about dampening, deadstroking, voicings, and independence while still trying to swing. I've also been on a verse-learning kick recently, so I included the verse as an intro and ending. Lesson video on these techniques coming soon!

Ok, I was going to put the chords in, but I always get mad at myself when I do that. I'm making it easier for you guys and that's not how you get good!

So you put the chords in, put the extensions in and analyze the music and play it.

Can you talk about it? That means you have the harmony memorized.

Look for the hidden triads. I.E. -> a C triad over a Db and the chord is Eb13b9. Do you understand what just happened here? Can you explain it for others?

Do the work and pass it on.

Here's a direct link to the new mounting video for the Springless String on a Musser M55 vibe.

Here's a short clip of me performing the Pedaling Etude #21 from David Friedman's book, a bit under tempo.
