Bryce Jamming
Bryce (in an attempt to escape a girl party at his house) came over tonight to play, and record some stuff.
I managed to capture the Bryce song in various forms (Both Bryce's bass, and my crappy guitar, and just Bryce's bass line alone) and get it onto my computer for editing etc.) as well as most of a 12-bar blues in E.
11/13/04 11:00 AM - Here is the version of the Bryce Song that I recorded.
I really enjoy the time I get to spend with Bryce alone because he is an excellent teacher, and although I sometimes feel bad that I spend more time soaking up stuff than playing I get the sense that he has enjoyed my progress (if you didn't know this Bryce got this thing rolling over a year ago by loaning me a couple guitars and giving me a few lessons).
Some of the stuff I learn is very tangible, like he showed me the fingering for "wish you were here" by Pink Floyd as a way to work on my G-Chord as opposed to the sloppy thumb/ring finger way that I have made a G forever. Some of the stuff that I get is a little more esoteric like watching his strumming techniques or observing the way he can figure stuff out by ear.
I am looking forward to next weekend when Bryce will bring his drum kit over so I can bang on his drums which will be the first time in about 10 years for me. I had drum instruction and sat in as a practice drummer for a gigging band when I lived in Rhode Island in the early '90s.
Anyway thanks Bryce. It was fun as always.
