  HALLOWEEN HELP
  (This is non guitar related but sorta music related)
  
  So my band are doing a Halloween live stream on Facebook tonight and we've all to dress up. Only problem is that I don't have a costume or an idea for one...anyone got any wacky ideas of how I could dress up without going and buying a costume?

  Happy World Mental Health Day guys
  
  I know us creatives get hit hard with these struggles, especially with the state of the world right now.
  
  Just know that thing you're stressing over will work out and that you're only human. Check on that friend that's been a bit quiet, even check on the strong friend, and speak to someone if you need to.

  Take care of each other x

  Learning the hard way today that the Music Biz can throw you a curve ball...My band were supposed to have our most recent song placed on a pretty big TV show and it ended up not making the cut for the Episode.
  
  At first when we found out we all excitedly rushed to get signed up to various royalty companies which cost us £200 each - money that none of us really have, In the middle of a pandemic that has put Musicians and the Self Employed under immense financial stress as it is. Defeated isn't the word!
  
  Apologies for the rant, but I feel I can do it more safely/anonymously on here

  So today I learned that it's really really tricky to tastefully improvise for 3 minutes straight and not cringe at some of what comes out

  Been learning the solo in this song recently (1:17) It absolutely blows my mind that Bireli Lagrene just improvised this!

  So I was just teaching a private student not to think too much while improvising & I realised that I suffer from the same hesitation in some parts of my improv with 2-5-1's if I start to concentrate too much!
  
  I decided to just sit with my guitar and force my fingers to continually play without thinking of where to go next - some interesting note choices to say the least, but putting that bit of pressure on really puts you to the test and helps your hands think on the fly

  If you want to feel truly limited as a Guitar player, try and jam along to both choruses in this tune I feel personally attacked! (Spoiler alert: The 1st Chorus is in Eb Lydian and the 2nd Chorus is in E half b Lydian)
