Haley's picking out her band!

[Tom22]

In the previous YouTube performance,Lets Party I just got done playing it in the it's in the key of A major. Had to slow it down a bit to try to keep up, not as fast as I used to be. Josh is an exceptionally well disciplined and knowledgeable guitarist. He knows all his scales and knows how to apply them without being sloppy or trying to rush it. I member in an interview with Stevie Ray Vaughn he said quote, although I cannot read music I play what I feel and that comes from the heart. The best way to play if you're not schooled in a musical instrument is to play what's really coming out of you both good and bad. Now the blues is a whole other story. For another time.

I'm jealous of you. I played the sax in high school 30 years ago but I have terrible dexterity in my hands ... i've got a steady enough hand with drill or something but when its about an intricate pattern my mind gets ahead of my fingers or my fingers don't fire when my mind tells them too.

Just a bit more thoughts I that guitar preformance

the parts that catch my attention in particular are things like
1:15 to 1:32 .. The ways he chooses the rhythm and turns and starts and finishes the color of hisnotes in that section really remind me of some of Haley's particular habits, and I hear that sort of influence even in a pop song like bennie and the jets....the very start of her exit performance was a kind of similar to me in terms of pace and turns.

Whoever she plays with I'd think would need to at least get her habits of patina and flavor the empasis of the filler chords and rhythms to compliment her particular "song".

I love that Stevie Ray line... but it reminds me of another : I think I remember some statement about bebop or something and how it enabled some jazz musiscians to say what they had to say...in ways they were limmited from before..

and Coltrane really had something to say but most others didn't have all that much worthwile to say.
