Feels Good

Good to be back...

After finishing three gigs this weekend it definitely feels good to be playing with a healthy wrist. I was surprised that it healed as quickly as it did (Splints and Biofreeze work wonders). But honestly having a nice stretch before donning my Axe did wonders for my playing. I was a bit apprehensive at first 'cause the jazz ensemble forces me to use some complex chord shapes (again... those altered chords) and I did have some tension on the inside of my forearm during the first couple of tunes, but it quickly waned as the night (and soloing... and wanking) went on.

So now I'm going to get practicing on Monday. I have some things in mind that I want to do and some things in particular that I have to do. I want to chip away at the Scofield transcription that I've been working on (slowly) since the beginning of February, I want to start going through the Bebop book that Rick gave me, and I need to start working on Greg Tardy's and Pete's tunes for later this semester. Not to mention I have to finish my songs for Senior Semenar to give to Bill sometime this week.

work, work, work....
