Daily Comment

With a three-day weekend coming at the end of this week, I am looking forward to visiting a few out-of-town friends (almost everybody that I know that isn't a musician is an out-of-town friend these days).

Last night, I got some props for backing up a guy at the open mic who played a ton of stuff nobody else knew. How do I do it? 

You know that game where you repeat what somebody says seemingly as soon as they say it. Super-annoying, right? I'm real good at that.

Musically, it is similar, but if you can do it in time, it is the opposite of annoying: It is supportive.

Over the years, I have always looked for the opportunity to play unfamiliar music, sometimes in unfamiliar places. All that ear training has paid off.

As long as I can hear what you're playing, and even more so if I can see a guitarist who knows the material, I have your back.

You're welcome.
