Joe G

Except for that 7/4 fellow.... :rsmile:

I think we're pretty clear about your views on the subject of Derek Trucks now, Mike.

How's it going? What he said. Hey Joe. Joel Fass here. I may get down to the upper peninsula this summer. Hey Joel - I missed this post, but I've noticed you hanging around; hope all is well. The upper peninsula?? Must be either Mackinac Island or Marquette, if you're playing music up there. The bridge is about 4 1/2 hours north of me (iirc), and one does not go DOWN to the U.P, unless you live north of Lake Superior.

Huh! I didn't know you toured with Randy! :rsmile:

Then it's GOT to be.... oh, never mind.

I'm pretty sure I will. Kind of wish she was bringing her own group, though... Professors of Jazz - what a bunch of hacks! JK!

They work for me... are you the drummer or the saxman, TFunk?

Thank you, Jeff! Another log on the fire, indeed!

Good one!

Maybe I'll just wait for the book.

I figured as much.

Just saw this on the Abstract Logix website. Excuse my ingorance, but what is a PAL Region 2 DVD?

Peasant blouses! Have a great one, Jon.

As a guitarist, I have to say... I just don't get it.

Got stagefright, do ya?

You won't get ANY grief from me on those counts, my brother!

Sounds like Joe's been workin' out with that Gripmaster: Ron, Ron, Ron.

I think she's cute and fun, but I don't think that pic works in her favor, personally.

Watch out for Jeremy Kittle. I hear he's been growing by leaps and bounds.

I did the Artist Way course in the 90's when that book first came out. It was quite helpful, indeed.

Can we all agree that music with no "chops" sucks, too?

Ain't that something! Thanks for posting that.

A bit of a repetition of what's been posted already, but here, from "The Advancing Guitarist", are Mick Goodrick's thoughts on the subject: ~ Play on the tunes that you are currently playing, but at least twice as slow. (And no double time!) This way, if you start to play any of your "pet licks", it will sound so bad to you that you'll probably stop right in the middle and quite possibly actually start to imporvise, since, at the slower tempo, you'll have much more time (and space) to think/hear/feel other kinds of ideas. ~ Ask yourself: "Is there anything really important in music that I've forgotten about?" ~ Feed a loaf (or two) of bread to some pigeons, ducks, sea gulls, or other types of birds. ~ Imagine a time or circumstance where you could never play the guitar again. ~ Go for a long walk. ~ Cry. ~ Stop playing the guitar and/or listening to music for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days. ~ Stop playing the guitar, but listen to a lot of music for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days. ~ Change the strings on your guitar and polish it. ~ Send your guitar "back to the factory" to either be retuned or recycled.

Forgot about that! Chuck's been taken twice now.
