18 Headless Flute
Another inept cameraman. But it's the only flute track I have at the moment.

There's a bit in the middle here where I am playing the flugelhorn through an octave-lower processor. A fun way to create a sonorous bass line.

Sorry I missed my head on this shot! I have since fired the cameraman. That's LIVE SHOWBIZ for ya! Still . . . I like the improv. Hope you do, too.

If that aint the funniest name for an instrument, I don't know what it. Uh, yeah . . . maybe the SACKBUT. (I'm liable to get dinged on UA-cam just for saying that word.)
14 High Whistle over Rockin' Groove
Переглядів 792 місяці тому
I particularly enjoy getting sounds out of an instrument that people don't expect. Not too many whistles in your local garage band. But guess what? A quick internet search brings up about 8 times that the recorder/whistle was used (usually quite poorly, I'm sorry to say) by several classic rock groups. The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix, to name just a few. Who knew!?
13. Blues Harp over Rockin' Groove
Переглядів 1792 місяці тому
The harmonica is the most serendipitous musical instrument ever created. It was invented in Germany in the early 19th century, essentially for playing polkas. Then it went across the ocean, and I imagine some slave down in Louisiana got ahold of one and started playing it "backwards", ie: sucking air IN more than blowing air OUT. And voi la! The Blues were invented. This may not be EXACTLY how ...

Put on your asbestos suit. I'm going to be a musical snob for a moment. PLEASE don't tell me, "Hey! I played one of those in 5th grade." Um . . . No, you did not. Most of you received a musical immunization in 5th grade. Those of you for whom the Musical De-sensitization Sessions did not work (ie: you turned out musicians anyway) know exactly what I'm talking about. Okay, I promise to be good a...

9 Classical Jammin' over Jesu Groove
Переглядів 682 місяці тому
People often ask me of the dozen or so that I play "What is your favorite instrument?" That's impossible to answer. A good smart-aleck answer is "The RIGHT one!." Different ones are favorites for different reasons. I suppose for just pure JAMMIN' Improv, the classical or nylon-string guitar would have to be near the top. Oh, wait . . . unless it's the blues harp . . . or the whistle . . . or th...

One thing I try really hard to avoid is wall-to-wall "Spa Music" you know, that schmoozy, put-everybody-to-sleep stuff. I like SOME of that . . . But then there's a time to wake up. I try to cover a wide range of styles on the street. That's one of the keys I've discovered for NOT having people complain about you.

THANK YOU 🙏🏼 I freehand my sketches 95% because I dont always have stuff for transferring my sketches but I don’t paint on canvas or acrylic often. I’m mostly watercolor but love all mediums. I wasn’t familiar with how to go about sketching on canvas with charcoal and painting over

    "a control freak's paradise" this really clarified things for me. I was a bit mystified by the horse demo, much as I enoyed it. This is great! I was a rapidograph freak, a number of decades ago, and would often work on eggs. But this --- oh boy. I have to try it at least once. You have turned me on to it. thanks

    Dan, have you taken apart the 0.13 teal rapidograph nib? Because I have and the wire is so thin and fragile, that it is impossible to get back into the point. Also, ink flow in them is very sporadic. Do you have any advice for me? I have a new nib for it and am not planning on pulling out the wire ever again. I have one that is apart and am waiting until I feel steady before attempting to put it back.

Your painting is beautiful, I will try to imitate as much as possible for a painting I am working on right now. Thank you for all the tips and hints. You are an excellent painter and great instructor.

    Personally I think adding white to some of building edges and adding the pink of the sunset to some off the trees would have made it pop. The lower half just pure shadow you can’t get around that. Also those right hand buildings need some small amount of green in the deep shadows. Otherwise it’s like two paintings cut in half. Just my acumen as a painter not that I could ever produce something as aesthetic as you. Or some of that golden yellow really needs to find it’s way to some of the light sources in the lower half of the painting one or both. Perhaps on the asphalt or the tops of trees.

    Just a thought on your dominant hand thesis, the more you use your other hand the more control your brain kicks in. I am ambidextrous after years of training (not inherent) so when I apply paint it feels the same with both hands. Funnily enough, I have noticed if I use just the one-handed approach to, say, a landscape, there is a visible perpendicular tilt to the composition only discernible when I step back from a painting. To correct this I use the scumble technique using my other hand. Do you experience any of this, Dan?
