A-Minor Improv

[Gary James Peters]

Hi

Thanks to popular demand (Ha!) and the fact that I got the camera out of the drawer, here's another snapshot. Stick with it until the end if you can stand it, the last minute is quite pretty.



Enjoy (and it's my birthday!!)

Happy Birthday Gary.

[Gary James Peters]

Thanks John...it really is my birthday too...today. For once I told the truth.

Another interesting excursion, and very interesting to watch your left hand, behind the bar, technique. Thanks for posting, especially on your birthday.
In these here parts, henceforth, you shall be known throughout the land as Gary Noodles. And who doesn't love a good noodle.

[Gary James Peters]

Noodles are a fine and honest food. My left hand: yes...a bit weird, I think it might be related to excessive nose-picking as a child.

Cheers Danny!

Aha! I thought you were purposefully exploiting that sympathetic/harmonic thing that occurs. I think that phenomenon is also why I prefer playing in the flat keys, my damping's pretty shabby.

[Gary James Peters]

Yes, exactly, but it was supposed to be a secret.

Thanks Danny!

Very nice playing Gary, and Happy Birthday mate. Improv in a minor key is a nice thing to do, especially if you can get off the stock frets that hold the lever or pedal chord inversions. Like the last part in particular.

Thanks Ken...you're a gent!
