The Practice Room | Episode 58 Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

I'm digging deep into the soundscape possibilities of the HX Stomp as I prepare for a bunch of upcoming touring. And by the end of the episode I get to a brand new composition that I'm really excited to find out where it goes.

The Practice Room | Episode 57 Feb 14, 2020

Show notes

A solid episode of deep diving on technique up and down the neck today, as well as developing the chords changes to a new song.

The Practice Room | Episode 56 Feb 12, 2020

Show notes

With a festival looming next week in Canada with Benny Greb, I start getting stuck into the process of being as prepared as possible for another one off with one of my favorite drummers in the world. I'm always trying to eradicate any doubt in the performance, so I generally start working on the material I need to reboot around two weeks out from the gig.

The Practice Room | Episode 55 Feb 07, 2020

Show notes

So good to have some brand new sets of Hi-Beams from DR that arrived minutes before I started filming this episode. And I get into an extended minor pentatonic workout, playing minor pentatonic over major 7 chords.

The Practice Room | Episode 54 Feb 05, 2020

Show notes

Searching for a new string company has been over a year in the making, and I'm so happy to announce that I signed a contract with DR Strings today. I will make an more in-depth video about the entire process on YouTube, but today marks the first day of being a part of the DR family.

The Practice Room | Episode 53 Feb 03, 2020

Show notes

I first heard Gary at a clinic in London when I was about 16 or 17, and hearing his sound in person was one of the most life changing moments in my early development as a musician. There is no substitute for hearing live music, and I encourage you to get out and see your heroes play as often as you can.

The Practice Room | Episode 52 Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

I'm working on a new course for Janek's Bass Studio diving into all the most important transcriptions I did when I first started playing the bass, and then on through my career. Today I'm looking at a Pat Metheny solo from the song Like Sonny, from Kenny Garrett's album "Pursuance. The Music of John Coltrane".

The Practice Room | Episode 51 Jan 29, 2020

Show notes

I'm getting into the pitch shifting side of the HX Stomp, and am shooting it out with the Eventide H9 today to see which I like the best.

The Practice Room | Episode 50 Jan 27, 2020

Show notes

Sometimes I have a day like this where the practice session turns into almost pure maintenance, because I'm not focussed or playing with the right intent to work on melodic content. The trick is to make the most out of this time no matter what you feel like playing.

The Practice Room | Episode 49 Jan 26, 2020

Show notes

I'm getting closer to having a really nice array of sounds programmed in the Line6 HX Stomp, and today I got to an ambient idea with a momentary switch function (suggested by my friend Lars from Line6), which turned into a pretty cool looping performance at the end of the episode.
