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.

Ah ha
A little teachable a ha moment tonight. I’ve been having a lot of trouble learning a particular piano piece. But then I gave it a closer look … it was using a very easy pattern, when utilized, really made the piece easier to learn. Interesting how easily I saw the piece as being more daunting than it really was.

All Over the Place -
Playing guitar at Mass next Sunday.
Jazz band still going forward.
Pop band going forward.
Piano was off to a somewhat slow start, but going forward.
JAZZ BAND would be nice if I can map out some solos (probably will do that) and learn to play melodies in positions other than the first.
POP BAND - just have to remember the structure of tunes so we are all on the same page.
PIANO - will do this at my own pace / no rushing / no perfection in Everything. (Up to learning some stock chords).

Piano
Making slow head way in the piano learning. A bit of a learning curve involved in navigating how to course is organized, but I’m getting there.
