stickgangI use to be a Chapman Stick player. Back in 1999 (before I got old and gray) I was a guest of Emmett Chapman at his NAMM booth. Emmett and Yuta are just wonderful people and they gave me a NAMM show pass in exchange for playing at their booth a few times per day.
The guy on the left is Greg Howard, one of the best Stick players on the planet.
gregandseanAt the 2nd Auburn bluegrass festival I taught a mandolin seminar. Here I am with my best student and good friend Sean Robinson. Sean's studying music at Berklee now.
gregclinic1smallerThis was a fun day. I was teaching a seminar at the Auburn Bluegrass Festival. My seminar was called "Expand your bluegrass vocabulary". I talked about building riff based solos. Each riff is a word in your vocabulary and you would add and swap these words to build your solo.
