Today we started with a little blues, taken from the first Hot Tuna
album, a must have in your collection. I talked a bit about the recent
Student Reviews- Wonderful Tonight and The Weight, and the new Target
lessons- So Begins The Task and Gypsy, then went into some comments on
how I sometimes choose songs. Occasionally a new request grabs me for
some reason, as was the case with the Stephen Stills song. Other times
a song will come up on a random play cycle (usually playing in the
background 24/7) and I realize I have to do it, as with the Moody
Blues song. Gypsy is a blast to play so I hope everybody checks it out
even if not too familiar with it.

This week's Fly On The Wall lesson was Sandy working on creating a
chord solo for Here, There and Everywhere. I ended up talking about
some of the important concepts that you need to have together and that
it's important to write out the melody before connecting the notes to
the chords.

And as usual- a bunch of random snippets of songs I couldn't remember
without watching.

Stay Tuned & In Touch,

Neil

My goodness Neil, you must be able to remember every song that you've ever worked on. Once you start going, you can play forever....

Fun stuff!

I just got back from a remote village, deep within the heart of Alaska, where it was -40. And as usual, your weekly update helped me warm up.

As for the f O T W with Sandy, I'll be there. My problem is (among many), even though I have a lot of these songs melody's etched into my brain, and I can pick them out. For some reason getting the timing never seems to work. I It take me forever to make these thing sound musical. And something else I need to work on it finding the right neck location, to be able to play the proper melody notes, and be able to find the chords there too. I will endeavor to work on that.

ps, you don't look any older
