John,
Looking forward to participating in this group. Like many others I've enjoyed your FGM column for years. I've mainly been a Bluegrasser but have been really immersing myself in jazz and swing lately, so the current series you're doing is ve...

- As for the writing, well, the people I know talk incessantly so I have a lot of time to think about what I would say if I should ever get an opportunity to place a word in edgewise.

- If music were the universal language, my playing would quickly drop out of the conversation!
I think my next level involves returning to the source(s) and re-discovering the magic.
Music without spirit is merely sound.

- Gee, I don't know about that. I mean, Lonesome Dove is the finest collection of stolen licks in the history of regional American literature. McMurtry just added a bunch of characters, and we love him for that.

I actually have your column on the Crab Walk from Flatpick Magazine. I sent the post after I went through it. It is a finger burner but a great exercise. I'm going to try it on my archtop and pretend it's easier.
Thanks,
Eric

DOMINIC FRINZI said… - unfortunately i moved away from my teacher and was gone for 17 years. by the time i got back he had passed. anyway my problem as i see it is putting together solos, and a sound. i feel that the main problem is just playing more, i got into this rut of just practicing scales cause it's easy mindless stuff and it keeps my chops up but does nothing for the mental side of things. i have a vibe player i mess around with sometimes who is a PLAYER. he comes up with these scale and chord centers and spouts this formula stuff but doesn't seem to be able to explain to me what the actual thought process is (for various reasons that don't need mentioning) anyway i get frustrated cause he just blows by me.
anyway i'd love to find out where i can unlock this formula

I was just trying to figure out if the discussions were likely to center on things that you had put in FGM or just be general in nature.

In my humble abilities I have been fortunate enough to use some great picks on guitars that I do not deserve. I have several tortoise shells that dear friends gave me long ago. They are like playing with a fingernail and even shape to your fingers...
This is the club for all you pickers who have
discovered the excellent Blue Chip picks.
Here is a group for people who have Martin Guitars, or is looking for one, or if you just really like Martin Guitars!
This group is for members who are working with the 8-Volume Flatpicking Essentials course written by Dan Miller and Tim May. This is the place to meet others who are working with the course and share your arrangements.
