I for one am interested, even though he isn't one of my favorites to listen to. He obviously has figured out how to get what's in his head and heart out through his instrument, which is the whole

Yep, it almost feels counterintuitive to relax to play faster, but everybody says that's the key. I still tense up. Interesting about the breathing. If you want, try breathing in slowly for two

Once I become more confident in my playing, I would likely seek out opportunities to play with others, which provides a real growth opportunity. For now, I have a digital recorder that allows me

Hi I agree with what Jeff has written in his last two posts. It is very hard to know just how relaxed a player is. Very subjective! Any way the point about breathing is not breathing like a horn but

Robert Where do you live? If you are near PA I will talk to you off line! Best Tony Hughes

How I come up with melodies like that? That's a very hard question to answer accurately. My first thought was to answer with something like: "Heck ... I don't know... they are in my head." But

I am currently involved in an Elvis project so... If there is anybody on this list who has ever backed Elvis I would be very interested in asking some questions - please could they email me privately

I think it's completely vague. I've never understood this one either. I sound like me, no matter how hard I may try not to. How can anybody lack individualism in their playing? No matter how hard

John M, said a lot of other good things, but don't want to get into it here. A lot of you guys are down on his playing, and he has always been one of my many heroes...

Breathing like a horn player is fine as is phrasing like one. But the best advice I ever recieved was from John McLaughlin after a Shakti concert back in 78-79. I would stop breathing or take short

It was probably me who posted about Mickey Bakers jazz guitar book. I bought this book back in 1969 from Rushworths & Drapers who were the main Liverpool music shop at the time (now long gone.) I

Umm, I heard more of a rock influence in Metheny's playing: early Larry Coryell & Bill Connors (especially his acoustic album 'Theme to The Guardian' which came out a few years before 'Bright Size
