No F'in idea.... Christian hit the nail on the head ..we have to get out of our own heads when we are playing and just be in the moment ( which is of course easier with material that you are...
Yeah, I think they’re both very nice arrangements. OP can find success gigging like this. Just get 23 more worked out.
My Routine FWIW (Based on a video from Tina Jackel) Learning to Play Over Tunes 1. Chunks - Learn groupings of changes to see them as one whole part 2. ...
Maybe it’s an illusion because of the many edges and reflections in the pics. But the bass side screw appears to me to be off axis. It looks like it’s not perpendicular to the tailpiece. If it’s...
