Hi Everyone!
The Weekly Wrap up has just been released!
Enjoy!
https://www.totallyguitars.com/blog/unc ... 30th-2019/
A lot of messing around in the key of E Major in today’s News, starting with a blues improv
based on the Forum post about Tony Joe White’s Polk Salad Annie, with only minor snubs
to some of the other artists in the videos.
A couple other Forum post drew my attention this week so I mentioned a bit about the key of
F# Major and why guitar players, and even most jazz composers stay away from it, as well as
Wiley’s suggestions for IGC, which is coming up in just a few weeks. We have about 20 people
signed up with plenty of room for a few more if anybody is still thinking of joining us. The
manageable number does mean that everyone will get a good amount of individual instruction
in whatever directions their interests lie considering we have five talented teachers lined up:
Max Rich, Doug Young, Jim Bruno, Dave Nachmanoff, and your truly.
I also spent a little time talking about my recent trip to the East Coast where one of the reasons
was scoping out a possible site for a future mini-camp in the woods of New Hampshire. I wonder
how many TG'ers would be interested in getting together at Upton Pond in Stoddard, which is
about a 2-hour drive from Boston.
The new lessons this week included Let’s Stay Together by Al Green and My Sharona by The Knack.
As August comes to an end I am glad to say that my travels are over for a while and I am able to
get back to lesson planning. I gave some hints as to what you might see in the upcoming weeks.
