Accelerating Learning
I'll "stick" this in Inspirations , mainly because I'm seeking every inspiration to progress at present. I use the Alto lots for logistical reasons when I travel with work but back home with the Grand its been like a revelation, cant put it down. Of late I've been out at Muso nights as usual and now a couple of venues have asked about gigs, but the age old problem of not enough songs has come up again , so time to accelerate . Been lots of posts about "effective learning and use of practice time" and thats my focus now, since there is a real goal and step forward in sight. Got together with Steve Adelson again last night after a bit of a Hiatus, always fabulous, so that should keep going & I also support Josh Goldberg now, I like his teaching stuff lots as small digestible chunks of things to play & learn, always varied. So thats my Stick musings over for the day. Good fun last week at a new venue, here's a pic of Layla going down at the end of a short 20 min set. Out.

Re: Accelerating Learning
Always gratifying to get together for sonic exploration. Hopefully the info wasn't too overwhelming. Be patient and have a game plan of understanding and technique. More to come. Be well Steve A

Re: Accelerating Learning
Bruce thanks for the shout out, I'm really glad you're finding my stuff useful! Please feel free to add any of the arrangements to your repertoire for gigs.
Steve is a great teacher, he got me started. I didn't realize you were so close by. Please let me know whe you're on the north east coast again, I'd love to get together and jam a bit!

Accelerating Learning
Hey captain Bruce, what tuning is your Alto in? I've never really looked at one closely: is it true it's a 10-string version of the SG12? Same length and number of frets? I was wondering how you move between the big guy and the Alto, how does that feel and what adjustments you make?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hi I use the standard Alto tuning up in 4th on the melody side from B on the 5th String & up in 5th bass side from C , i.e. C G D A E I'm getting used to changing between the two but there's a definite little period of adjustment , the size difference between the two instruments is considerable. Whilst both hands feel " relaxed " on the Alto I have to consciously open up the stretch when I go to the Grand. At the moment I'm really trying to focus on the Grand , but its problematic travelling with it, with the work I do, giving that some thought at present.

Re: Accelerating Learning
I am of the thought that if a tune takes longer than an hour to learn, it might be too complex for that timeframe. The more complex an arrangement is, the more it opens one up to possible malfunction... That's cool, I am just saying that simple arrangements are okay too, it doesn't have to be all shredding with a constant stream of arpeggios and scales behind one's playing...
Maybe try learning tunes with just root notes on the bass side, and then fill in the complexity of said tunes as you progress? Or are you trying to avoid that one asshole in the audience who is gonna be like "I noticed that you only played root notes for your bass line while you simultaneously played the melody line and solo..."
Also, I always find that jamming with a real live human is a great way to learn new stuff...
Complex and interesting things are an assembly of simple, functional components...
I hope that helps, Bruce. Good luck, man!
(Sight-reading is a great way to assimilate new tunes quickly, as is "playing along with the recording")
