Anyone got anything planned this weekend? I’ll be honest, my head feels like cotton. Ever feel like your body is just telling you to rest? Do you listen when it does? The weather here isnt helping things. We are getting dunked in water. And lately being outside is miserable. We get these evil things called mosquitoes, but affectionately called Mozzies by our favorite Aussie, @Anne Easton ! I push myself a lot, but sometimes the best thing, is to do nothing. Let things rest and reset. Ive had periods of incredible creativity and productivity following a much needed rest. You dont have to be “on” all the time. Anyone else feel that way at times? How do you tend to respond? I’m not the model citizen yet, on not pushing myself so hard, but I’m trying. Haha!

In recognition of our independence Day here in the United States, one of my students expressed the desire to learn the Star-Spangled Banner. So I sat down with him and I’ve been building my own arrangement so that he can play it for his family on that weekend. Obviously Jimi Hendrix is the most prolific guitar player that has ever done such a thing, And. I’ve never tried to learn it, but I can certainly appreciate it. This is just a work in progress, but I have been building my own arrangement of the tune basically by ear, alongside with my student during our session sessions, so this is something I just wanted to share with the community. Just in case anyone else wants to try it.

I’m going to make sure that ill practice as much as possible!

Any requests for songs you'd like help with or to have me figure out on stream? They dont have to be entire songs, but they might be part of a song, or something you'd like to know. Post away!
