LOL–thanks Sxpoet Not sure how you put that little Airplane on your message. I’ll be back home ASAP. Believe me…….wish I was already there. On the upside, it’s been good to see old family and friends and they love the Sax playing. My nephew, Nathan, is a hard core Rock and Roll guitar player. Ever heard of that country song “The Devil Went Down the Georgia” that is played on the Violin? He plays that song on his Electric Guitar! I can give you some youtube links of him playing, including when the played at “Battle of the Bands” and got 2nd in the entire state of New Mexico–the winning band won a recording contract and a new Van…they came so, so close.
Talking about my Nephew and his band, another plus is that I’ve been going to a few of their band practices as my schedule has permitted and getting some good experience being around live guitar and drum players. They’ve also taught me a lot about chords and chord progression….a HUGE learning curve for me to help me out in my own Improvisation. His drummer, who is very, VERY fast, has helped me improve in the way of Tempo–if you notice in my last couple of Uploads I got slightly ahead of the beat near the end of the song. Johnny’s ebook on Killer Blues has been right on the money and helped me to “blend in” with them I guess you could say. It’s not easy being away from home, but I’m taking back with me some valuable experience too.
Don’t let my present circumstances let you get withdraw symptoms my friend! I need to see your uploads too. 🙂
