Minutes

I'm thinking alot this week of things that come naturally to my muscle memory. Maybe these next few weeks will turn into an inventory of sorts. Little gestures like this are me channeling Hans Reichel, though I'm not sure anyone else would connect the two of us. Link to the post.

This one is a reminder to let the notes sit and listen to the sound the instrument makes on decay. The decay can be the best part. This hollowbody guitar is a little cathdral. Link to the post.

I'm thinking alot this week of things that come naturally to my muscle memory. Maybe these next few weeks will turn into an inventory of sorts. Studies I've written, little bits I've shedded over and over, they're all in there (looking at my hands) and haven't come out so clearly until I started this minutes practice. This 'feel' is something I will bring to this new Me...

Tonight I went to see Leo Kottke, and finally got to have a chat with him after spending so much time with John Stropes on our archiving activities. Most of this week, just processing an amazing show. This is Seasick Sam, one of many half-finished pieces I've half-written on acoustic, ever inspired by Leo and Hedges. Link to the post.

Medicine Hat practice tonight, playing I Am for the first time with a slide instead of a whammy. I'm down. Link to the post.

You'd think I'd be comfortable soloing off the cuff at this point, but I'm feeling rusty. Caudal Peduncle is affording me lots of time - I thought this was heading in the right direction this week. Link to the post.

July 4 - Family foley and electronic treatments Link to the post.

I pick up my hollowbody over coffee and very often this comes out - noodling around trying to keep my 7th chord shapes in my memory. The stretched bell is from Leesa and i's recent venture over to Scenic Beach state park, here on the Kitsap Peninsula. Link to the post.

A little free-flicking on my lovely David Webber acoustic. Link to the post.
