Good evening, Nostr! 💜

I hope you’re all doing well. I just wanted to post a little update, since I haven’t been posting my regular music content recently.

The last couple weeks have been very busy irl!

I had to finish my violin concerto, which was a ton of work. The premiere performance for that piece, entitled “lost child”, is taking place on November 29th in the evening. Phew!

Between that and my regular concert and teaching schedules sort of ramping up at this time of year, it has just been a very busy stretch!

I hope to start posting my regular videos to Nostr again soon. Hopefully next week!

Thanks for your understanding and thank you to @Grace and Truth for the little nudge.

Happy holidays to all 🦃🎄

Love when you all throw me challenges. Today’s suggestion came from @liminal 🦠 with this cool song from the group Intervals.

First 30 seconds I transcribed the guitar directly, then I let loose with a solo. This one was really fun!! 🤘

Yesterday I rocked out to Eric Clapton, and @liminal 🦠 commented that I should play over this song by Intervals. I wasn’t familiar with this music at all, but gave it a listen and wow… it is super beautiful. Is this prog-rock or math rock? I don’t know but it has gorgeous guitar playing, shifting time signatures, and a lot of energy.

I started with a straight transcription of the opening guitar melody (first 30 seconds). There’s a tricky little mixed-meter lick in there that I’m almost locking into… needs more practice. After that… I couldn’t resist ripping a solo over the next minute. @liminal 🦠 , you were right, it was SUPER fun to play over. I think I locked into the energy of the track 🎶⚡️🎶⚡️

Huge thanks to @liminal 🦠 for the suggestion. This was fun!!
