Rick, Chris, Scott
8:25
Circulation and improvisation to begin.
Rick provides a run-down of the closing of Sunday's rehearsal for Chris, which leads to work on Thrak. On further inspection, the three guitar parts that make up the piece are perfect for rotation and exploration in the trio format, and we spend time trading parts in different sections. Apropos to this is the usefulness of counting, foot-tapping and "feeling" in playing the rhythms. Returning back to the re-intro, there are a few surprises.
Rick teaches Scott the melody for Morning Has Broken, and we play the first verse as a loop to help him get the hang of it; Rick suggests that once the basic melody is understood, then the further variations which occur throughout the piece can be taught. We also run through Where's the Nurse, two leads and one bass.
Some talk about repertoire, and a final circulation to end the meeting.
