After spending a bit of time (almost three years) of accumulating the pieces to make custom backing tracks for my guitar playing of many genres, but mostly blues, we have now shared this on Blusic Radio. Once we completed the first phase of setup yesterday, Read More …

I’ve been pumping out some kind of loop just about every two or three days since about a week ago. Some much longer than others, such as the Jan. 17th song that was 31 bars, and the Jan. 24th song that was 46 bars. What Read More …

Loving My Maschine!!

Posted onJanuary 23, 2019January 23, 20191 Comment

I purchased a Maschine from Native Instruments the other day and must say it is an acquired taste for a Blusician. At first, I bought it because I wanted more than a drum machine. I actually wanted a strong creative drum pad that was portable. Read More …

Just like guitar, I am now starting to learn drumming for the third time in my life. Three times is a charm they say… because I have stuck to guitar and love playing. One thing I have noticed over the past couple weeks during guitar Read More …

Diatonic Arpeggios

Posted onFebruary 3, 2018Leave a comment

Rambling Some A Blues

Posted onJuly 14, 2017Leave a comment

Been a while since I posted something here, so thought this morning before vocal workout and exercises would be a good time. My guitar playing has gone way down since I started the Voice 101 course at Berklee. I must say, there is nothing 101 Read More …

Take The A Train!

Posted onJune 17, 2017June 17, 2017Leave a comment

Blue Bossa

The volume is a bit low on this one… also, flubbed up a little bit. It was 6 AM!! Which explains why the volume is so low. Trying to refresh memory on a bunch of Jazz standards that are listed on Matt Warnock’s site. Great Read More …
