What is a vibe hang?

A vibe hang is when we all get together online and some of us play live and we hang and talk. I'll put up a link where we'll meet the day of and we just hang play and talk. it's a chance for people to play live in front of others. and a chance for others to listen, learn and talk.

It's easy to play live. There's another faq listed under 'Check This Out'. It will tell you more.

Opening Break on Solo Over Groovin' High by Tommy Flannigan

I asking talking with Barry about what an opening or break lick is. I thought maybe other people might be confused so here's an example. You play the head and when you get to the end, it's usuall the last 2 bars the band goes whack and stops and you play into the top of the tune. Get the music out for 'Groovin High' and check this out.

Ideas for the Summer

I had this idea today. Just trying to figure out how to implement it as well see if there's interest.

I want to start a tune club for the summer. I would like it to be very disciplined. The idea is we learn 2-3 tunes a week.

I got it... we could do it like this. Week Challenges. I'll post the tunes say on a Wednesday. We all study the tunes all week and then post by the the following 7th day your version. I (or maybe Phillipe!) will make play along tracks. Just rough for you guys to learn the tunes. Everyone has to submit the tune by the 7th day.
