Been too busy and tired to blog. So have been posting videos recently instead. Anyway, I was real excited when I found out that I got linked by two sites: SqueezeMyLemon, which I visit a fair bit to watch blues videos and which posted some Burnside videos here; and Mr. Dante Fontana’s Visual Guidance LTD, which posted Art Blakey’s Moanin’ here. Small thing. But it made my day and got me excited. Love the concept of how strangers in different parts of the world get linked up by common interests in music and video.

Anyway, would like to record a little breakthrough I made last night while transcribing Grant Green’s No. 1 Green Street. Finally crossed a big hurdle where I felt wasn’t making any progress for the longest time. Now that I’m over the hump and confident it’s a matter of time before I fully transcribe the rest of the tune, I think I’ll take a break from transcribing this tune for a while. Been too tired playing guitar and transcribing at night and working in the day. Need a break.

Anyway, here’s a cool video featuring Miles Davis and John Coltrane doing So What.

Check out Freddie Hubbard on trumpet.

Will be watching Tommy Emmanuel perform with Chloe on 23 Oct when he comes to Singapore. Poor Keith Urban. It must have been intimidating. And in general, for most guitarists who share the stage with Tommy Emmanuel. But credit to Keith Urban, who keeps smiling and enjoying the music.

Video courtesy of Chloe, who sent me many wonderful guitar videos, some of which I’ll be posting later.
