DISCIPLINE
Scales and warmups daily for 10 to 15 minues. Blues-based two-handed improvisation daily for ten minutes. Then a run-through of the repertoire and work on the latest two or three songs. If I like a song, I’ll keep playing it. The ones I don’t like, I dump after I get them. I’m idly working up a schmaltzy arrangement of Walk On the Wild Side. I’m also working on a heartbreakingly bright improvisation based on the theme for Mango Pudding Blues, which you may have downloaded from this website earlier. And theory. Endless transcriptions of notes and scales to try to understand the architecture of sound. Noise divided by time.
