Sunday Practice

First went through some songs with the keyboard/sax player that we'll be doing in a soon to be gig. Will be singing and playing some guitar on stuff I never really sang before like "Pride and Joy," "Bad to the Bone," "Sharp Dressed Man," and "Keep Your Hands to Yourself." I really enjoy doing the old song "Spooky." It's really easy to play and cool sounding.

Guitar practice was really good today. Finished up five Assembly Line forms; just need to polish them up, then pick a song.

What really went interestingly well was the improv practice. Using the Charlie Christian book is opening some really good doors; learning forms and not only learning the solo for "Six Appeal" ( I'm only on the second measure [!]), but experimenting with the forms was fun.
