The reason I haven’t played any live shows in a long time ’cause I really wanted to improve my talent. Improve my craft of music. I wanted to learn to improve everything. My guitar playing, singing, and even the lyric writing. I want to improve the all around musicianship. So I took the time to learn some theory, ear training and lead guitar playing. Trying to get better at all those.

The thing with improvising on the guitar is, the only way to do it well and master the art of improvising is having a really good ear. That’s the only way, period. I’ve been practicing a lot of ear training. Trying to memorize the sound of each note on the guitar, by singing along to it and memorizing it in my head. Tuning the guitar by ear without an electronic tuner is also good practice. All this stuff is coming along well. I still have a lot to learn and lots to practice, but slowly getting better and getting easier.

I really want to get a band soon or at least play with other musicians, ’cause playing with other people helps you become better too.

It’s a big possibility that I could make a comeback to the live music scene this Spring/Summer. I want to be playing some new songs and new cover tunes. I miss playing live, I’ll get back out there soon, it’s only a matter of time.
