Clarky:Sounds like your finding a working method that works great for y bro.T.R of the Sabine women is going t be a monster track,looking forward t hearing the results as a lot of peeps are here on T2J.Your guest appearance on Blue Bossa/Pheonix street will be mighty i,m sure.Getting a little excited on wrapping up this album of mine myself.Have the last page of the Hungarian Gypsy t mix & the backing is done,bud its been a tough tune t crack.I,m left with the harmony parts for Bachs C- prelude/some solos & its a wrap.Looking forward t sharing it with all here on its completion,the son of a bitch has taken a year t nail best i can,just mindblowing t me how much effort these composers put into their work,i listened & practiced so much the violin/piano & sax solos of so many artists but when i started t play the the chords...Mamma Mia! just amazing,Its lifted me so high & t realize after all those years i,d never payed it so much attention due t ego based nonsence,i,ve been missing the base of it all !
Again,good luck with everything Clarky & all the best in the new year
VFRrocker:"When the wind blows it will bring leaves,enough for a fire" bro,zen does that t y eh,makes y realize that whatever may happen,if y dont have an understanding on the simplest of things y cant survive "wheres the fookin matches,lol" nah but seriously,the complex fusions cant grow well without.Grandmaster Yip Man,just incase y have never come across this name,taught the young Bruce Lee Wing Chun.Yip Chun to whom Yip Man passed on his knowledge,said it well in Samuel Kwoks book "The Path to Wing Chun" "A bud that does not grow well will not grow into a small plant.By the same token,real achievement in martial art can only be built upon a strong foundation.
After i absorbed that & bro it took take the wind out of me & still does,when i realized the simplest of things of music had been overlooked & not given priority,i slumped into a 10 year labour of straightening this plant out.I know also i,ve not achieved my aim as a guitarist yet because of this,but with this in mind,it helps me t realize,there is a time & place for everything,as opposed to my imbalanced ways & now i seek,structure,tone & form,those vital neglected things which are not in my hands right now.So yes,Martial art can make you a better person,its i guess,how i,ve looked at it,albeit in a different form.I,ll never be a Bruce Lee,but i know i can be a better person from what i,ve read of his work.Jimi Hendrix for me was just natural,his heart flowed to the strings like water.All the things i have come t love in music,have that quality,just one of many reasons i like t visit T2J
A very warm & happy new year t y bro
Ovation 1:Just full of surprises aint y,My best t you & yours.Love bein sent t y from here in Barca,your making The Marines shine bro
Zenfish:Had a think about your Joe S,Blues Fusion idea,Joe is for me,the only instrumental guitarist that has so far lifted my soul t feeling good about being alive, i call it life fusion,lol
See y soon in the new year bro
T all in T2J a happy new year.Death Cube,Stevee T,AlexandreCaetano,Michelle,marimariSRV and all,see y all in a month
Peace
Slan
