You HAVE to get your hands together and working well if you're going to play more interesting and complex music. 

i.e. Donna Lee is much more complex technically then Blue Boss or One Note Samba. 

Just some stuff to think about with double sticking as well as a way to practice double sticking. 

i do feel that we want to do as much alternate sticking as we can. I know some disagree including David Friedman. So take it for what it's worth to you. But I give you some ways to work on double sticking.

Expanding Vocabulary Over the Second A Section

In previous lessons, we explored the bridge of rhythm changes and how to apply those concepts to other tunes.

So what do you all think of vibes in the context of traditional Irish music?  Definitely NOT traditional.  :)
