New (short) instructional video

Hi everybody.

I've just uploaded to YouTube a video trying to explain the intro riff from Jaco Pastorius' "Okonkolé y Trompa". Please read the video notes. Currently I'm in the process of recording two more videos trying to show other stuff. Hope you find this one useful!

That exact piece "Peanuts Theme and Brazil" was put together by Stu Hamm about 7 -8 years ago that he performed live on a regular basis. It's alot of fun to play and really humors watching crowds.

Lol, you know, sad to say you are slightly late for that... That thing was way too much for what my situation was, and i was pretty close to selling it. We practiced in our garage which was not sound proofed. When i play entire neighborhood hears fairly clearly and loudly my crappy playing. I am surprised that we never had a cop come up and tell us to shut it down (some cool neighbors we had for past 10 years)...

Thankfully I have hard time parting with gear. Because new place we are moving to, first thing we are doing is sound proving the garage. So now i won't let go of that thing, ever, i can finally use it with out worry.

Sound proving FTW
