I spend nearly half the year touring and playing with some of the greatest
musicians on the planet. Every night on the road is another journey and
application of everything I have learned and continue to learn. The idea here is
to take you along for the ride, so to speak - to teach by example using the many
situations I find myself in.
In this course, I shot and edited some live
footage from various live shows, including:
- The Chick Corea Elektric
Band tour in June, 2017. There's live footage and lessons from my hotel room.
The lessons point out important concepts relating to groove, feel, live
dynamics, and my overall approach to the music. I’ll always relate the lesson
back to the important foundational concepts you'll find in other courses.
- Mike Stern show in 2017. There's a full bass/drums duet with Tom Kennedy
and a corresponding lesson featuring Tom in my studio. I also included full
renders of tunes from those shows. Check those out, and then watch the
multi-part conversation with Tom in the "Guess Instructors" section. We refer to
those tunes in the lesson.
Join me on this Journey, and make sure to
comment and ask questions below the lessons and in the private Facebook group! I
will be adding more footage this fall!
