Arts Practice

I know I should have probably uploaded videos of me learning and practising these songs, but to be honest i haven’t had time. Instead, I thought if I just outlined the process of learning then maybe it would count. For most of them I just went online and found the tabliture, and supported that music … Continue reading »

As I explain in the video, this is a spur of the moment performance. I used to be able to play it better, but it had been so long I was partially learning it again inbetween recordings. The finished piece is OK, but could be improved by better recording equipment, more time and more patience, … Continue reading »

So… You have now seen the culmination of weeks work in the form of a video marred by poor singing. But what has been learnt so far? It is a very different experience playing with a drummer. Before, when I played solo, or with another guitarist, variation to the beats, or timing or strums didn’t … Continue reading »

Although having fingers in many pies regarding artistic output, I have opted to stick to my roots and do something music based. In this instance I am going to team up with a drummer, Elizabeth Wright,  in order … Continue reading »

“When we met each other at midfield, it was like, ‘Hey, Seth, how you doing?’””I have vivid memories of that day,” Morris said. “It was a nice day, a little nip in the air, but a sunny day.””You walk onto the field and there are 12,000 people there,” Josephson said. “The Rye stands are filled. … Continue reading »

That’s the ideal list, remember we may not know anything about any of that stuff. We may just look rockin’ in spandex. Yet in every gym you’ll find trainers happy to advise you on all of those things no matter how disastrous the consequences.. Avoid small ships and complex ships for your first building experience. … Continue reading »
