Hi, everyone.

This is fascinating. Someone had a lesson on improvisation with Pat Metheny and recorded it. It's on YouTube and I suspect it's not always going to be there. This is a serious clinic on the craft from a master. I'm probably going to transcribe it and study it.

I recommend downloading it while you can. It's a video but it's audio only. I'm going to remove the video portion and put the audio in iTunes and on my iPhone.

Whoa! Pat!
I've interviewed Pat three times for magazines and he is extremely together in respect to his concepts musically, spiritually and philosophically. I actuallyonce gave him a short Stick lesson followed by a twenty minute duo jam. What a highlight for me.
His musical ideas for composing, arranging and improvising have had a huge impact on me.

I was wondering if you had heard this before. It's great, so much information. The bottom line for Pat is the rhythm. Work on that above all else.

Rhythm is a crucial and integral foundation for any music.
Melody and harmonic arrangements have more diversity.
Great rhythm and time will hold everything else together

Thanks Eric.!

Downloaded and listening now. I made a doc of those key points, to return to.
