I was alive enough to see the Fab Four on their first US television appearance and remember thinking: "that looks like fun". Better still, around the same time, I was alive enough to witness one of my mentors, Bear Irwin, and his friends, jamming on Coltrane and Miles, etc., in the living room of the family home, thus the seed was sown and continues to grow today.
Harmony and songwriting intrigued me early on, as a result of noticing the sound of m7b5 chords in Jazz standards, add2 chords in Beatles tunes and the first time I heard a 7th chord in the 3rd inversion, including as well, the way melody and rhythm works around it all, and I've written a few songs in the meantime.
While I have managed to develop enough skills to stay out of my own way on other instruments, guitar remains my choice of focus and continued fascination and/or exasperation. (sometimes a tossup!) Tracker For Myspace at Profile Snitch
Hey Kevin! How are you doing? I just bought Gentle Giant's Octopus. You're right about their extensive use of counterpoint. Is there a Gentle Giant CD you would suggest getting next?
