my reverbnation page correction

Reverb Nation: Eddie James (James Theobald)
this has the two electronica pieces i created. i think i might focus on doing electronica since it is so easy to create, and focus on putting my solos on top of that stuff, which would be unique, since you usually don't hear very good soloists over electronica as a rule...

practice session 1

playing guitar over jazz standard 'dearly beloved' jam by Jamey Aebersold. still struggling to play jazz for real: it's one thing to know stuff and it is an entirely different thing to do stuff!


"Dearly Beloved Practice"

dearly beloved practice by jimmy jams 2010

strangeness

it is weird being off facebook, second day in a row. i never realized how much it was starting to infiltrate my consciousness, in good ways and bad. perhaps i will start using capital letters again and proper punctuation and grammar!

REverb nation

 I created a reverbnation profile tonight:


 JImmy's ReverbNation profile


also a regular website with a URL, just messing around with this, though.

I started the Facebook "My Band " application, and an artist page there too.

Practice sessions

I have been working on John Coltrane chord progressions on both the piano and the guitar.
Playing along with Jamey Abersold books.
I am letting the 'tape roll', just in case anything good comes up!
I found this cool little book on the Abersold site:
Jamey Abersold's Red Book
I will be posting links to my practice sessions as soon as I get a paid account at some music service, I am
still debating the merits of SoundCloud versus ReverbNation...
