I am a guitarist, teacher, rope jumper, and songwriter based in Houston, Texas.
Too Many Notes?
I wrote this short 'Etude' to have a musical example to keep my technique up. It's structured as call-and-response, with melodic phrases being answered by sixteenth notes.
Of course I'm far from Mozart, but I can still play too many notes!
My goal was to get the notes as even and on the beat as possible; listening at 50% tempo, I did OK.
This is in d minor, the darkest of all keys.

Etude 5, Kreutzer (1766-1831)

This is an excellent study for triplets, and also very musical. Like with the others, the dynamics are my own.

This etude works very well on guitar, and in addition to being an excellent study for scales and arpeggios, it's also excellent for phrasing, articulation, and dynamics. Aside from all that - it sounds cool!
Etude 2, Kreutzer (1766-1831)
Просмотров 438Месяц назад
"Kreutzer was well known for his splendid tone, and the clearness of his execution." And that was my objective when transcribing this for guitar! I experimented with different approaches, but ultimately played this with strict alternate picking, except for the final arpeggio. There are no dynamic markings in the music, so they are my own.
Lateral Moves Jump Rope, April 24, 2024
Просмотров 5802 месяца назад
Freestyle routine, in which I repeat the jumps with lateral movement in between. When on my right side, I lead with my right hand (non-dominant), and lead with my left (dominant) when on the left side. As I typically do, I finish with double unders, saving the most tiring jump for last. Anxiously awaiting the hot temperatures, which I will confront head-on. This was my first jump at 56 years old.

That's one hell of a workout especially since you have the longest driveway
Ok, that was cool! Drop the mic i
Thanks! It was fun writing and putting together.
Good morning Adam. It’s great to see you again. This is great.
Hi Dave, great seeing you, too. Thanks for checking out the song!
My phone started to warm up. I put it down. It burst into flames. This is how I started my day. Excellent!
Thanks, Mark! And feel free to send me the bill for your phone.😉
Just enough.....notes 😂
Thanks, Jorge, I thought so, too. The right amount of notes without overdoing it; well maybe overdoing it just a little. 😉
This is great Adam.
Thanks, Dave! It took a lot of practice but I had fun with it.
I couldn’t do this was I much younger.
Hi Dave! I couldn't do these when I was younger either. 😉 I actually do these to develop both hands, since I'm left-hand-dominant. I do the crossovers leading with each hand.
Bird on the wire......literally
Yep, he keeps me company, chirping away. 😉
How this dude could beat me up with a jump rope
great job!
Thanks so much for checking out and for your nice comment!
Excellent!!!
Thanks for checking it out, Mark! I figured you'd like this one. And you saw it before I even had a chance to send it to you.😉
love it my friend your are the best in the game of music
Thanks, Ricky! Always thinking of you out in Los Angeles.
Dude, where’s the music 😂
I think the raccoon ate it! 😉 Kidding aside, it's been tough conditions - lots of rain, wind, and other elements. Hopefully it eases up and I'll get back to choreography with music.
for the first second, it looks as if you have a man bun. lol! you'd wear it well. thanks for sharing another video.
Ha, thanks! I've tried doing the man bun, but my efforts always ended in futility. I used to have my hair braided for hockey games and cycling. It was the best way to keep it from tangling under my helmet. I'll give the man bun one more shot. 😉
@@AdamFlintGuitar Ok. for some reason, you seemed like an ancient Chinese wiseman from the old movie with 3 outcomes. that's what came to mind. an old classic, but I forgot the name of it. black and white film. almost silent.
Thanks! Offhand I'm not familiar with it, but I'll see if I can find it.
💗
That tone...beautiful.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Cool video, great song! Let's go!
💗
💗
I haven't heard that song since High school 😂
2K! :o)
Wow, don't ask me how that happened! Guess I should keep my clothes on in these from now on.😉 Kidding aside, thank you so much for the comment; I actually had no idea.
You're welcome@@AdamFlintGuitar
Love it! It makes me want to wear leg warmers. Ahh the 80s. Well done! 👏👏👏🎸
Thanks! you can borrow mine. 😉 Actually another song I want to cover is Magic, by Olivia Newton John. I'll get the leg warmers out for that, as well as the headband and spandex. 😉
Love the song!
Me, too! It's one of those songs we heard a lot as kids, that we never forget.
Love it! Love her! Love Reminiscing by little river band! Hint hint!
That's another great, jazzy pop tune from about the same year. That one would be fun to do with all the thick vocal harmonies.
did you cut your hair, by chance? something seems different and it's hard to tell. Thanks for sharing. 🍵
Wow, good eye! I didn't cut it; it's still back there.😉 I washed my hair before filming, and it was slow drying; so I dug up a blow-dryer. The dryer was about as old as this song and barely worked. But it did add some poofiness, which is fitting since it's a song from the 80's.😉
ok. and the ponytail must be all tucked back there and everything. had me worried for a second. lol!@@AdamFlintGuitar
@@SerpicoDreams Ha! It's still there, only getting grey.😉
lol!@@AdamFlintGuitar
Always enjoyed watching you play Adam
Thanks, Bret, great to hear from you!
Imagine that! Cold down there. So cute bundled up. I guess windy there, too.
Thanks! It's definitely a different look and felt very different. I'm not used to wearing gloves, and I later lost control of a handle. It hit me in the mouth, and bled a lot. I thought I may have lost a tooth, but thankfully didn't. Just got to soldier on, I guess!
Looks pretty solid
💗
Is this the first jump of the year?
Hi! Actually, it's the second, as Monday was January 1. But I was nursing a left forearm strain (still am), and the weather wasn't cooperative. So this was my first decent jump of the year. 😉 Just documenting, and making sure no bad habits are creeping in.
oh ok! wondered and missed the first one maybe?@@AdamFlintGuitar
You didn't miss anything! I'm kinda laying low, and went from depressed to mad with my injury. I document my jumps at the start of each year, and didn't want the forearm strain stopping me. Turning the page, slowly, though.
Well, that's good. I'll keep checking for more videos and hoping your injury heals!@@AdamFlintGuitar
Thank you so much; I can really use your support! I've had to begrudgingly scale back some lifts. I threw myself a pity and haven't been filming. But my arm is healing, and I'll be out there in the rain today. If it lets up I'll see what I can do. Thanks again!
That tune is like a lick machine. Great job. Birdlives!
Thanks so much - it is indeed! So many great lines in there.
Excellent! I'm here for the jazz! Great tribute to Duke👏👏👏
💗🐈⬛
great i love it your amazing as always
💗🐈⬛
How about working through the Fakebook. Lots of good/great music to enjoy.
A Classic. LOVE it !
Sets a mood. I like it. Looking forward to hearing more.
Very Nice!
Crisp and clean! All three…. I thought you were miking the deflection off the window until I zoomed in and saw the hockey stick! I could listen to these all day……
Thanks! I was tripping over the hockey stick so I just leaned it up, out of the way!😉
Nice little ditty! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! I was trying to somehow return to Philly to learn some jazz, but it wasn't in the cards. So I'm trying in my backyard.😉
That's ok. Maybe Houston is better anyway. @@AdamFlintGuitar
You're right, though in Philly I could hang out with you. 😉
true that!@@AdamFlintGuitar
p.s. this has the 'loop' effect. ...addicting to watch.
just popped up and, at first, didn't realize it was your channel. LOL! A video that's a bit different than your others. (give this guy a guitar already!)
Merry Christmas, Adam !
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jorge. Thank you so much for checking out my videos. More on the way!
Nice! Love it man!
Thanks, Ronnie. Hardly any edits in this one!
Another excellent arrangement!!
Hey Adam, Sounds great my friend ..... Love the vibe, the voicing, everything about it. Nice work !!
Thanks SO much! I really appreciate you checking out the songs and for your feedback. Hope to have more on the way!
Awesome
A song that hasn't been heard in eons. 🌈
It seemed to rain every day I jumped, and I told myself to do my best to be happy about it. And this song popped into my head!😉
