"Farmer's Trust" - one of my favorite compositions from guitarist Pat Metheny. A great song to use as a vehicle for dampening including the one hand dampening techniques - slide, hand and pivot dampening.

I haven’t been able to get to recent Wednesday 2 pm Zoom coffeehouse meets. The earlier ones I attended were great.

Do you have any suggestions for how to practice the skill of sequence memorization?
