About
Musician,Educator,Father,GuitaristAs my health is now failing and I want to do is get all of my music and pictures out there for everyone to enjoy. Stan Getz is one Cool Cat I really dig. I need to work on all this very soon before it is impossible for me to get any more done.My time may be limited but not my desires or outlook. Music has always been a large factor in my LIFE and sharing what I know in all forms has been a great part of my LIFE. Music education,Music history,and playing music.
"Rhythm Guitar is just like vanilla extract in cake. You know you don't taste it when it there,but sure know when it's left out!'
As I said my health may be failing and all is being done that can be done and I'm cool with all that, but to share with all that I can would kind of make make me real happy and that's kind of what this site is all about sharing one of my most favorite Sax Players [I use Stan's single lines in solo's all the time] but also his history will always endure the test of time...... Please enjoy his Music and his History as I'm sure you all do.....
I did enjoy teaching private guitar lessons very much. I would teach using a very "hands-on" approach - I tried to show people stuff they could really use in a real playing situation, not just the theory for theory's sake[I sneak that in so it was more effective in how they learn]. I tried to help students play the music they want to play, I did not have a set agenda. You can play music on so many different levels, some people want to become serious jazz guitarists, others want to just play some blues or rock for fun so they could jam with their friends[here is where I sneak in the theory that cool b3rd's,and hold and bend] it's all good. I'm a very patient teacher. I tried to teach a balance of musical fundamentals - scales, technique, theory, ear training- along with songs the students wants to learn. A lot of students come to me with a specific songs they want to learn and then we could use that song as our guide [ear training]and that will usually lead to some new and different techniques, chords, harmony or other concepts and a touch of theory we can explore together. Music Education is very important in all mental growth it is one of few things in life that let's you both side of the brain,to get one out put...........a song.............a style.......it does not have to be personal yet it is.....everyone has there own musical voice in music it just takes time to realize yours..
