Isn't there a better way to learn the Bill Evans / David Sudnow open voicings? There has just gotta be another way. My way of doing it was just so agonizing...you can just hear the struggle as you listen to the songs I posted . . . But I just love the sounds of those voicings as applied to ballads. But there has just got to be another way rather than struggling song by song, and then forgetting them if not played regularly... So frustrating to be so close to those sounds, but so far from masterfully executing them...
Looking to maybe just dabble in that stuff for now, but dive a little deeper into other stuff like piano blues, stride piano, or possibly just throwing the piano out a window.
This blog is about me and my music. My current focus is on learning piano using the Sudnow Method and guitar improvisation. I currently play guitar in a band that concentrates on playing the early rock and roll of the 50’s and 60’s. I also play guitar in a trio setting that focuses more on the jazzy side. Seemingly irrelevant posts on this blog reflect topics that are probably expressed in my music somewhere.

Its Been Awhile
Its been awhile since I've posted here! I've been really more into the guitar lately. But I think I might be coming back to more piano work in addition to the guitar. I just might get into more bluesy piano, so stay tuned....
