I'm learning some pieces from the Bach cello Suites and there are lots of slurred runs that include entire scales, so I can't just play them on one string. How would you play them? Should I pluck every time I change strings and hammer on the other notes on that string, or should I hammer on...

Hello there, lowdown brethren! My name is Lele, I'm 31 and I currently live in Turin, Italy. Nice board you have here! I've been obsessing about phrases, patterns, licks and the like for a long, long time now. I started out playing things I found in books (the Aebersold about II-V-I or...

I'd like to submit my story to your consideration. I've been studying quite hard for seven or eight years. I've done it all: Bach etudes, transcriptions, learning jazz lines from ear, bass methods, piano methods, trombone methods, reading, theory, harmony. You name it. I've been playing...

Hey Samuel, I agree, it's hard work, but pays off very well. Just stick at it, or limit yourself to particular phrases if you can't wrap your head around it! I'm working on 2 things at the moment: 1. Writing J.J. Johnson Bloozineff down (a sweet easy tune) 2. Finishing Lucky Thompson solo on...

Put me down for this baby!!! Layin' it down in sunny Italy since... well, since 2005 really... Shared stages with Sonny Rhodes, Andy Just, Kellie Ruckert and the amazing Kenny Neal. Really enjoying playing the blues. Quite weird if you think that I was quite bored with it before, being a...
