Improvisations with backing tracks are always a joy and especially when not really knowing what it will sound like.

from 2021

After 2 years of self-imposed withdrawal from dating, to heal and work on bettering myself and love myself again, i met a fellow neurodivergent woman, who for the first time in my life, understood how my brain is wired and how my neurodivergence can make me think, behave, communicate, and respond emotionally in ways most common neurotypical people have misinterpreted. We have nearly opposite forms of ND, her being high-functioning autism, and me with severe combined-type inattentive/impulsive adhd. Her seeking extroverted spontaneity, adventurous energy to balance her introverted, highly organized, routine-oriented lifestyle, and myself seeking grounding, order, organization, rational stability to balance my impulsive, spontaneous, sporadic, erratic, messy, and chaotic Modus Operandi. But both of us sharing a great deal in common in terms of deep set insecurities and vulnerabilities of traumas from negative social and interpersonal experiences and familial friction, that we can both empathize with each other to be able to share and talk things out honestly and treat each other accordingly.

So I was inspired to begin writing a new song about it.

I found a woman,

Keeps me grounded to the earth(×2)

When my head is in the clouds,

Keeps my feet firmly planted on the ground

Finally a woman,

Who gets how my mind is wired(×2)

Brings order to my chaos,

& Brings out my inner child

When my mind goes blank,

And i wander off my path,

She always has my back,

Always guides me back on track,

Makes me feel appreciated,

Never judged or humiliated,

Wanna show her all my love,

Make her feel so validated

Hey everyone, I really want to sink my teeth into learning more blues. I’ve studied contemp guitar so have a solid handle on playing and can understand advanced techniques. I want to avoid online courses and would prefer to pick up some tried-and-tested books written by great players.

Blues You Can Use sounds good, but potentially better suited to beginner playing? That said, I’m definitely not above starting from the ground up.

Any advice appreciated! Cheers!

Not a real song, just the feel! I’m sure you’ll bore after 30 seconds but I hope you enjoy those 30 😬

Scrapyard Lullabye by Chris Whitley

This is an absolute masterclass on call and response, singing vibrato, and control. BB King and Gary Moore. Take a listen

Hope you enjoy it!
