I recently picked up my first electric guitar. I am learning completely on my own and finally able to play just two or three riffs. It’s so tough but I am just sticking with it the best I can. 

Unlike when I was a kid there are all these YouTube and other online resources— one online guitar “teacher” i really like, Paul Davids, he’s excellent, all levels and has music theory for the guitar as well. Enjoy, electric guitar is a blast

@FortWayneHoosier -- here's a link to Paul Davids' online course descriptions. I did one of the courses for music theory - really well done, very easy to follow, he has online backing tracks, tabs, .pdf's you can put together as a notebook at your own pace. Fun stuff --

Thank you I will check that out. YouTube has been my friend but anything new will be helpful! Thanks again!

For some reason, this popped up on my YouTube feed today. Was over 20 years ago. A 13-year-old girl won a competition to sing the national anthem at a Blazers playoff game and soon after taking the court, got a case of stage fright and forgot the words. 

In stepped Mo Cheeks to lend a hand. He was Portland's head coach at the time, yet made the effort to go help this young lady through what had to be a terrifying moment. What an assist! 

Wasn't sure if this should go in music or the NBA thread. Regardless -- a very sweet moment.

One channel I like on YouTube is Marty Schwartz or Marty's Music (same person, he switched channels). He does a lot of song tutorials but also gets into regular lessons some.

Classic -- I watched his YouTube vid on Wind Cries Mary, yes, he's good for sure --

Saw a video of The Bangles playing Hazy Shade of Winter, originally by Simon & Garfunkel, from 2019. Susanna Hoffs was 60 but I'm pretty sure she found the fountain of youth and drank it dry.

Her and that Rickenbacker was a dangerous combination.

And the intro to that song is pretty fun to play.

  1. She's not a great guitarist. 
  2. Who the hell cares.

One of The Olds can tell me if I’m late to this, but uh…Looking Glass is far from a one hit wonder. Their entire self-titled album is incredible. This song in particular. Good vibes aplenty.

Not a trio, and not classic style:  Bobbi Humphrey's Fancy Dancer is a seamless collection of seven tracks that cruise the distance across soulful fusions of funk, Latin grooves, electric jazz, and gauzy vocal choruses... quoted from All Music.  Love her flute.  

Try Bill Evans Trio:     'I Fall in Love Too Easily'.

Duke Jordan:     'Two Lovers'.

Art Blakely:    Just pick something...anything...with or without the Jazz Messengers.

Kurt Rosenwinkel:   'You've Changed'.

Cedar Walton:  'Blues for Myself'.

Wynton Kelly Trio:  'The Fall of Love'.

Bill Taylor: 'Solace'.

Lestor Young, Oscar Peterson Trio:  'Stardust'.

Charlie Parker Quartet:  Anything at all...

I'm taking a quick sidebar from the inferno happening on this site.

I have really been into some really early Herbie Hancock.  I really love his "hooky" jazz style.

This is fantastic!

Was in a foul mood this morning, which I’m sure had nothing to do with IUBB, so sent an SOS out to daughter #1 to send me some punk or garage stuff that I’d never heard. She fired back “Blood Visions” by Jay Reatard. To paraphrase Will Wade, this is a strong a$$ record. Elements of The Minutemen and The Ramones but with its own unique sort of bitterness and I really like the guitar a lot. It did the trick. Daughter #1 never misses on this stuff.

Watched the Jordan Peele movie “Nope” last night. Not one of his better efforts for me, but this song is in the movie and it really caught me. I listened to the full album this morning. It’s kind of a Bahamian folk concept album. I’m not sure I completely get it, but it’s a really compelling listen. As an aside, for anyone into Peter Gabriel, I’m gonna guess that before he recorded his 3rd album he’d heard this. There is a definite mix of flavors.
