The things I am trying to work on..? Getting healthier is one of the big ones. I'm really trying to drop some weight, and I have lost several since January 1st, but there's a long way to go. I want to gig more. I need to clear some space around here, so I have a room to practice in and a spot to work on my guitars. I need to learn some new songs, and I have some riffs of my own that need lyrics. I've got a bunch of columns from the various guitar mags and some dvds to work on, I just need to make the time and create the space to do it. I'm thinking about taking some lessons...both on guitar and banjo.
Other than that...I don't need to work on much. LOL! I already know I'm a STAR...I just need to get out ther and let my light shine!
Oh...I did hear that Mr. McIlleny (I think that's how it's spelled) of the family that makes Tabasco Sauce recently passed away. And that made me wonder...when he goes to the gates of heaven, does St. Peter turn him away? "Oh no, you can't come in here! You're too hot for us! You gotta go to that other place!"
Jest wondering...
Good job this week!
Bill

Non-G&L question: Not very seriously... we already have 2 road-trip themed humourous posts, and I wish to add some very British toilet humour to the road-trip mix! We all love toilet humour!!!

I'm sure there are lots of suggestions going to come your way, lots of fantastic players here. I think the players that really helped me with this are Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits and the Ventures. They both offer lots of songs that move you around the neck along with the changes. If their not your style, like I said, there will be someone on here that will suggest someone who is... Have a restful march break!!

While i very much appreciate Louis complement, my intention was certainly not to bait you ribeye! I could have been more clear in my initial response i guess The Juries for my college students come up in a few weeks and I have been working some of them through the jazz chart "All of Me". The "changes" i was referring to were in that context... It doesn't have a lot of key changes, but it does have a lot of modal switching (mostly through some Secondary Dominant chords) which keeps you on your toes with some of the harmonic modes. I found myself having to think a little more than usual...Which is why i need the work Thereby answering the original question!!
Have a good one

i know you didn't mean to bait him, it was accidental, but it was still successful.
