Hi Dave
Cool I received your You-tube bulletin fine.
Yeah, it looks like it's just you on the Skype screen but you can still hear us. Have fun deciphering the Scottish and Australian accents !

Dave
I can do absolutely any time even my 2am.
It's very kind of you to host it.

Cheers

custard - I often wake up singing the jazz tune, the blues tune, the solo, etc, I was practicing the day before. This morning I woke up singing hanon 20.

I noticed all the hanons have triplets from lesson 10 onward. Why don't you go back a little, record a hanon you did previously? It's all in switching in and out of triplet mode quickly.

I'm not sure counting in 4s will help. My understanding was that that is an idea to increase confidence in sticking runs of quavers together while improvising, not to help rhythmic accuracy.

Knotty - good to know about the speed up function, I hadn't noticed that.

To all - I'm up for skyping. Just not sure about times.

Hi everyone
I signed up for the 1 week free Skype video conferencing trial.

cool, how do you do that? Then let's set a date for a meetin'

DF

if we shoot 10am EST, that's 3PM for Ten.

Friday? Saturday?

I can make Saturday or Sunday at that time, not Friday. Won't it be the middle of the night for cus?

I think it's only midnight for Cus.

I can do 10 AM this coming saturday nyc time

DF

It's a date!

I have an appointment in town before, and there should be enough time, but I could always be held up.

Dave - we need to exchange skype names.

I'm not sure how conferencing works, presumably we just all skype each other?

I think when there's already a call in progress. Add to conference appears.
I'm pretty sure we won't have video for 4 people though.

I can live with that. With 4 of us, we'll also need to be careful when speaking, not to speak over each other. Skype has a slight delay and you can end up with lots of sorry, what was that? you go ahead, no you go ahead, etc. I would tentatively suggest that Dave lead and we'll follow.

I can handle that. Do we all have to sign up for skype conferencing? 10 AM this Saturday is a date:)

DF

You need to enable our skype addresses, and we yours. I put my skype name in a PM to you. Did you receive it? Little flashing letter thing at the top of the screen where it says 'my stuff'?

I upgraded to the new skype, I see where it says "add people". Are you guys people? My Skype name is David Lee Frank, I didn't receive your PM 10..

Dave

Cus, 10, Dave,
Crazy session this morning! That was a lot of fun.

Crazy session last night too. Me got wiped on a couple of Chick Corea tunes --> Sea Journey in particular... Who calls those tunes at a jam session?

Hi Dave, Knotty, 10
Yeah, that was totally crazily awesome. I wonder if it was one of the world's first group video conferencing Skype lessons ? This new version of Skype is so cool.
I learnt so much from this video conference, especially when Dave explained the JOI process to 10 and taught me step by step about the technical and creative elements of improv.
And trading 4s between Dave and Knotty was such a fun way to end the lesson.
Thank you so much for your time and encouragement.

Knotty
Take it easy tonight.

Hi joisters, that was one incredible way to brighten up a weekend! Thanks to custard for hosting the video conferencing, to Dave for your time and skills! It was cool to hear you all play.

I need some proper practice time to get lesson 10 in the bag. I really want to get on with this.
