Wow it's been over a year since I updated

Well Hello everyone, it has been way too long, if you are even seeing this. You may have not looked for awhile.

I love this zebox thing, but I've hardly used since I started, so I need to take better advantage of it. Well I guess the most current this going on musically, is that I am playing with the Paul Stranahan Trio, which is a jazz fusion funk whatever group. We've played a few gigs, and i've basically joined an established entity because the last guitarist left for my old home of NYC. So if you are in North East Ohio I would love to see you at any gigs. I'll try to keep them updated here. I've also got a myspace.com/mirthfulmusic page, as cursed as it may be, it is another good marketing tool I have hardly used to my benifit.

 I am currently teaching at Rob's Musicworks 4 days a week which is located in Broadview Hgts, and I am constantly refining a new system of guitar lessons, and have totally dropped any support from popular learning books because my method is complety different, and I believe with far greater results. More on this to come.

As far as new original music, it seems I've been at a halt the last year or so. I have been really hard on my playing, but there has been progress, looking back a year, I am far better. Now I just need to show you.

 I have spent the last year really working on jazz, and had lost a lot of my rock like chops in the process, now I'm in the phase of re inputing these things into the system. The jazz world seems hesitant to add certain elements such as tapping and slapping, but I will be sure to get those involved as well.  To me jazz shouldn't be about rules, but what is possible.

 

Anyways, I am rambling, I hope what you like on this site, though much is older than my zebox account, and nothing currently new for a year, unless otherwise stated, which as of writing this is nothing. Also I am using the fretless a bit with the Stranahan trio, so if you want to see a progressive instrument with countless possibilities, come on down.

 

Cheers, 

 Mirth
