What up, VWS. I am trying to post everyday, so in light of that... here is what I worked on for a good part of the day. I took an etude for Prince and worked it out incorporating all the sticks. This was pretty difficult for me. I mess up the head a little bit, because I was so brain dead by the time I recorded this. This is but half the etude, it is a two chorus etude, so in the next few days I will post the whole thing. I'm still always working on the "sweet spot" of pedaling lines... not too ringy, but enough to give sustain. Also when I am playing syncopated rhythms, I am pedaling quarters as opposed to when the notes hit. I see tony do this, and he can make it swing hard. So let me know what you think. If you want a copy of the etude, I'll email bert and get a PDF. (Sidenote: the harmonic progression at the end of the form is a substitution that I think is really beautiful)
