This one had hardly any blur to it at all. That was nice. Still a boatload more info than I can take in for a session, but still very productive. Some of it was reinforcing what I knew already but tons of new info and things I can do for study and practice.

Lots of sub work. Dim7/7b9 and I/III sub'ing.

We used Georgia on my Mind for working lead melody into chords and sub practicing.

At the end of it, I as looking at his Super 400. He has owned it since about '78 and, from what I saw, it is a '66 made in Kalamazoo. When we got talking about used market values, I mentioned that models like his easily go for over 10k and run around 15k to 20k. He said, "I'd drop it in a heartbeat if someone offered me that kind of money for it. The guitar isn't as important as the player. There is this kid in his 20's and he plays on a $300 Ibanez and he sounds incredible." In a nutshell, the old adage that it's a poor workman who blames his tools (Thanks for the adage, Ben). Of course, I knew this to be true already that a top quality guitar in the hands of a novice will always sound rudimentary and cheap, beat up, old jazz box in the hands of a master will make it sing.

Sorry for the late entry. I came home to a baby with a fever last night so the wife and I were taken up with caring for him. He is fine now. Just needed a day.

So, off to a week of practice.
