Guitar / Piano

Looks like our trio is gathering some traction. Four days ago we played at an open mic night. Looks like we will be pushing this trio thing.

Continue to practice scales from the Arbersold Book 1 for guitar. Putting chord melody on hold for now (at least temporarily!).

Good piano practice too. Practiced closed voicings as well as continue to work on “What a Wonderful World” Sudnow style.

Sudnow

Back yet again to the Sudnow Method. Working on closed voicings. Can somewhat play “Misty.” Working on “What a Wonderful World.”

To a lesser extent, still learning guitar chord melody and some soloing stuff.

Playing a charity gig with the band this weekend.

Playing at an open mic a week from today in a jazz trio (the bassist in the other band, our main vocalist, and myself on guitar).

Bought Led Zeppelin I the other day / of course I used to have it years ago.

I like the new Paul McCartney album: “Egypt Station.”
