Brian, whenever I read your blog I wish I had more time to follow all the links, but I don't So using the analogy of the SamuraiGuitarist, I'll go with following at least one link, which was of course his. It was really good. A nice practical way to use the circle of fourths, using the metronome more often is something I often think about but don't often do, mainly because I mostly play solo, but you can't have music without rhythm and from a listener's point of view, bad rhythm is almost as bad as having a string out of tune. Lastly grabbing a lick or something out of a track you are listening to is great. I listen to music for hours a day, often thinking, I'd like to do something with that track, which makes it a big job that I rarely get around to, but picking a small segment, whether its a hook or just some notes you like, is practical and as he said, adds to your vocabulary, he may not have used that word, but I like it, is always doable. Thanks as always.
I appreciate you reading. The newsletter is a labor of love, that's for sure, so it makes me happy whenever someone comments on it. I always try to include a bunch of different links, so people can skim and check out what they think they'd be into. I try my best to create a cohesive theme to the links, but sometimes it's like the Wild West.
I'm a big fan of Sammy G's videos. He always is coming up with some fun and helpful ideas. I have to get back to filming more of my own videos for YouTube. It's been tough to find time! But I have a good feeling about 2024. :)
