So let's start office hours. If anyone wants to hang via skype we can try it on Monday, May 16, 2011. (GMT - 4:00) (Is that

Office hours are for subscribers.

So I have 2 slots, 12pm and 1pm. We can spend up to 30 to 40 minutes working on something you have questions with. Make sure you have Skype figured out and your audio and video working.

Office hours are not lessons, you must come prepared with questions pertaining to stuff you're working on. Usually just one or two things we can talk about.

I moved this from a forum posting to a blog...

I am wondering if my glasses are messing with my site reading improvement quest. Looking at the music, and then looking down without moving my head, I notice the frame of my glasses cuts right in the middle of the naturals. I assume there there are other folks who can play with bi-focals or have dealt with this issue. My questions are:
1) Should I get larger frames
2) Shell out the $$ for some vibe only lenses
3) Deal with what I have, perhaps my brain can adjust.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a challenge for you guys.

Take any lick record it in twelve keys without stopping and post it here. Doesn't matter if it's Marie Had A Little Lamb. Post any lick here in 12 keys. Should take you 15 minutes.

I've been playing Little B's Poem every day and working on a solo out of the Omnibook, using it as a sort of etude. Starting to take it through all the keys.

What are you working on? (Always curious)

I just realized that that's another way of describing consistency.

I hope you guys see the importance of working on something, taking a break (less than 36 hours is recommended) and then doing is again and then over again.

This is Christian Tamburr, a GREAT two mallet vibist, at a gig in Florida. Not an unobstructed angle, but a good view of how he works the pedal.

The other instruments were organ, guitar and drums.
