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.

Pentatonic Thursday
Still on the keto diet and lost about eleven pounds. Hanging in there!
Bought a cool book about chord melody solo guitar by Martin Taylor. Interesting; from what I gather, he’s taking a different path than just using established chord forms. Intriguing to me because there are soooo many chord forms..... He covers other stuff like playing bass during the solo,
Worked tonight mostly on “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore.” Interesting using some pentatonic stuff.

Every Night
Practiced some guitar tonight; learning “Meditation” chord melody style for our jazz duet. Still doing some stuff with the Silver book. Took out my acoustic and this happened; made a recording of my version of Paul McCartney’s “Every Night.” Use headphones if possible:
