So a local arts organization, the Hopkinton Cultural Arts Alliance (www.caahop.org), did some renovations and used some of the leftover materials to create a really nice outdoor "amphitheater" performance area. I managed to get a grant to run a series of five concerts in the space, and the video above is from the last one, where my band, the MetroWest Jazz Project played. The video was taken by a local news site (www.hopnews.com) and shows the end of my solo and part of the guitar solo on "Sky Dive" and the beginning of "Yes or No".
Here is our first EOTM by David Friedman. I'm hoping David will become our EOTM man. He has all these creative ways of playing scales and doing exercises. So let's see if we can get him to be our EOTM CEO.
Here's the first one. This is a great idea actually. If you practice one of these exercises each month and just for the month I would argue that technically it will alter your playing for the better. I'm going to do it also!
