I'm going to try to do a compilation challenge / contest drum playalong thing for "dreadfully formidable". This is a new version of the tune, specifically for this situation, btw.

It's that time again, I want to know what you all want to see.... Video wise. Whichever comment gets the most likes... Extra special consideration.

Ok, thew.... Part 1 of the Jimmy Haslip interview will be dropping soon. ... He has so many stories and anecdotes, haha. I had to divide it into two parts. One of the highlights was the story about briefly studying with Jaco Pastorius.... Which I wasn't previously aware of. Anyway, be on the lookout.

Be on the lookout, the next major series I'm going to do is concerning "FINGERSTYLE SOLOING & IMPROVISATION". ... In other words, you have a set of chord changes and you're going to improvise with them in various ways, more conventionally, without tapping... The initial focus is just going to be on, roughly, getting the chords and lines together at the same time... But then I'm going to cover a bunch of stylistic deviations, different approaches etc. chord Melody, rhythmic devices.... depending on the situation. It is a very deep topic. Very likely to lead back into fingerstyle arranging...

So I have a lot of original songs... Considering putting together a pre-order page so I can know the demand etcetera ... For a book of lead sheets containing all of these songs... I suppose it would be digital as well as physical paper. Which requires a bit of overhead on my end. Business concerns lol. I'm just curious as to what you all think....

I was considering starting a new series, it's like.... "Tory's First Person Adventures", the series.... It would basically be similar to the shark PSA that I just did, but anything could happen and it may or may not be music related content in the episode... When I say anything can happen, I mean anything can happen.... It's mostly comedically focused.

Anyway, I just wanted to see what youralls thoughts were on that, how many people would tune in regularly. It might be a daily or semi daily series type thing...

I added a new playlist. It's called "Forest frolicking songs"... Yes, it's songs that you might listen to while you are frolicking in a forest or similarly engrossing alternative nature terrain(s)... Feel free to suggest something, however... I am the decider. I am the decider. I am the decider. Say it with me, I am the decider.

I decided to release the song/performance video tomorrow (Saturday April 5, 2025), .... this is the new original tune I was talking about (in the last post)... I think you'll like this one.... Tinged with a bit of humor as well, obviously.

Be on the lookout for another original (highly electric) fusion tune, this one's a doozy.... But before that, an acoustic Tribal Tech cover. .... In addition to the aforementioned two big interviews that are coming out. Thanks for being friends and fans.
