started with the jazz stuff.

Sorry i didn’t manage to get a blog up last week everything has just suddenly started to pile up. Got a gig at a winery doing a duo and quartet thing which should be pretty sweet although it means i’ve got to learn about 14 new pieces in two weeks.. I’m getting there. Slowly. We’re doing a bit of classical, spanish and flamenco and hopefully i’ll be able to get a good live recording of it up on my page once we’ve done the gig.

I’ve been looking into a few things lately concerning music, trying to get out some tabs but its taking longer than I thought. Got a lot of ideas for music as usual but its just hard turning these concepts into actual music. I find using the loop pedal is a great way to get ideas down and refine them but then again it all changes once you add drums bass and synth into it. Still working on jazz guitar a bit, i find its pretty useful in writing and everything, go a lot more dynamic and variation since i started with the jazz stuff.

Been looking into the lute vihuela as well. Considering getting into some of that repertoire but i don't know if that's gonna hinder my current stuff. It's good to know a bit of everything but as soon as you start too much in one area your taking away time from another. So its probably good to go everything in something and then only something in everything. I would try everything in everything but I doubt that is humanly possible. The only problem is to figure out which style i should invest the most in. Ah well something to consider.
