In attendance: Glenn, Chris, Scott, Brad
The first meeting of the new year. Opening with a circulation (mostly CMajor-ish) that becomes an improvisation.
Brad mentions RF posting the basic idea of the first Secondary exercise in his online diary, and shows this to the circle; this leads to running the exercise up and down the neck, and then exploring some basic approaches (shifting the notes around, changing the picking approach, et al).
Chris presents 49 Notes. This does not take long, and we have a couple of full runs of the piece in short order.
Back/bum break.
Back in the circle, we run 49 Notes again.
Glenn reviews the basics of Chrysanthemum. After this, we take a short look at Eye of the Needle, to see where Scott stands on this. This produces a good look at the use of the left hand, and what to do about it.
Another circulation that becomes an improvisation (mostly FMajor-ish), ending in harmonics. A final rundown of 49 Notes again, which closes the meeting.
