Quick burst

Taking Jimi's focus on the roots of music as well as Tomo's ideas on knowing the roots of specific genres, I have spent a lot of time working on my traditional phrasing. The other day, I plugged in and turned my amp up allowing for tube distortion. I then used an overdrive pedal just as Jimi would have in order to achieve a very distorted guitar tone. From there I worked on playing blues with Jimi and traditional blues artists in mind. Here is what that sounded like! I posted this video to Instagram, and my idol Matt Schofield commented some pointers on the video!!! Below that is the video!

    I find this so interesting just because I am a normal student at Pentucket that is able to say that they know you. You have always been interested in music since elementary school and its so amazing to watch you grow.

For me, seeing this video gave me large gratification in the sense that my favorite musicians are phenomenal musicians! Their feel moves me every time I listen to them!

The approaches were of really relying on the downbeat of the music as well as incorporating chords into solo guitar pieces. I decided to dedicate some of my night to trying out some of these ideas... here is what I came up with!

At this point in the book, Clapton has found two of his major passions in life. After going through his base level school and failing the test that moves him onwards to secondary education, Clapton decided to retake the test in order to pursue his dreams of becoming an artist. Clapton also began to realize that when it came to playing the guitar, there were so many more options that could come about with moving outside of his small hometown of Ripley, England. He took the chance and began to school outside of Ripley. When at art school, Clapton began to realize that he was unable to express himself as freely as he wanted. So in order to fill this lust to freely express himself, Clapton began to do the artwork that he wanted to do at school, as well as play hockey and play guitar in the neighboring towns and bars. This unfortunately resulted in his dismissal from art college. The dismissal to Clapton was like a large eye opener as it showed him that not all the doors in his life would ...
