How Aware are You as a Guitarist?

Transcript included below…Today, we're going to talk about cultivating our awareness as guitarists, and why that matters.This was a pretty tricky episode to put together, because it's a little subjective in parts…but I'm actually quite pleased with where it went.  See if you can track with me, and consider leaving a comment after you've experienced my thoughts.Have you ever walked through a crowded area and crossed paths with someone who wasn't really looking where they were going?  I've seen it happen, and I've actually also been the guilty party. It's easy enough to look back at where we've been walking from, but not watch where we're headed…and that can result in at least a comedy of errors, or perhaps a messier situation.If someone isn't watching where they're going, they're going to struggle.We as guitarists have the potential to play well, to communicate well, and to enjoy the process…especially if we can reduce or eliminate some of these struggles.I've got a handful of illustrations that are designed to help us understand the importance of awareness, all with a view to helping us be more aware of what we are doing, but especially of what is going on around us.The Beginning of BatmanIn the 2005 Christopher Nolan movie Batman Begins, Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne trains with mentor Ducard as he develops his skills. One of their exercises is a sparring sword match on an icy pond.  Just when Bruce thinks he has overcome Ducard and says “Yield,” Ducard looks up at him and says, “You haven't beaten me.  You've given up sure footing for a killing stroke.”  Then, suddenly, Ducard taps his sword against the ice, and Bruce falls through it into the water.The recurring phrase that is uttered throughout this movie is “Always mind your surroundings.”  Having a heightened awareness of our surroundings helps us “do battle” better, and to be victorious.  We can overcome obstacles and challenges, but we have to be…aware.NertzOne of my early memories of courting my wife was playing the card game “Nertz” with her family.  I did not play well. I discovered quickly that to have my eyes mostly on my own cards was not going to be sufficient.  I had to be aware of the piles in the middle of the table, but also every other player's rows of cards in front of them. This would allow me to know what was coming up next, so I could get rid of my cards.  But this was not a relaxed, calm game…it was a race against the other players.  You snooze, you lose, right?  The more players, the faster you had to act if you saw an opportunity.This game continues to be a family favorite.  I'm including a photo of the table where my kids and their cousins are having a rousing game of Nertz on one of the Puget Sound ferries.Even playing this game with just my wife has been challenging.  I've even found myself the recipient of friendly advice for what to play next.  This proves that she is completely aware of her situation, but also of mine, which informs her situation.I don't love the game, but I love what it teaches: “Be hyper-aware of your needs, the needs of others, and how to meet those needs, even in a competitive environment.”The most skilled Nertz player knows what's going on in their hands, but also in the hands of their fellow players. Even helping each other can lead to our own success, but we have to be…aware.Situational AwarenessI was a guest musician at a Christian school recently where they had brought in some law enforcement officers to train the students and faculty in the unlikely event of an active intruder. Everyone was encouraged to memorize the address of where they were, so that in the event that they needed to call 911 for help, and they only had a moment to talk, they could at least state the address.  It's important to know where we are.  And it's important to know what to do if something changes the situation.And some of this is made possible by…preparation.  Being prepared helps us to focus and act intentionally when something unexpected happens.But when it all comes down to the moment, our safety, and even our lives could depend to some extent on how tuned in we are to all that's happening in the situation.  Sometimes a crisis brings adrenaline, and those who are the calmest are the ones who can function the best.Making it through a crisis can be done, but we have to be…aware.Social AwarenessWe're all learning how to be better conversationalists, and we grow in this area each time we talk with another person.  But some folks have more to learn.  They tend to be what I'd call “socially unaware” or perhaps “less” aware. This is demonstrated when they do most of the talking, or don't sense when the person they're talking to wants the conversation to wind down.  They simply don't respond to social cues, because they're just not aware.This can happen at any age.  But when someone is aware of the climate of the conversation, it blesses everyone.  They know how to contribute, how to ask good questions, and how to add value to what is being discussed…primarily because they know how to listen.We can listen, we can respond, and we can build up others as we talk, but we have to be…aware.Defensive DrivingIf you've been driving for any length of time, you know that not every driver out there is aware of what they're doing.  They may be preoccupied by the fact that they're lost or turned around, or they may even be hindering their own progress by looking at their cell phone.In the past month, I cannot tell you the number of drivers I've seen on the road who have been texting while they drive.  I couldn't count how many I saw.  That's obviously a subject for another time, but I wish those folks would wait to send a text until after they get where they're going, so as to avoid a possible collision.It's up to us to be defensive drivers.  I recall years ago a bumper sticker that said “Visualize world peace.”  This was eventually met with a similar bumper sticker with a bit of a snarky tone that said “Visualize using your turn signal.”Not everyone signals before they turn.  We, as the other drivers, need to be on the lookout for their “less than awesome” driving, especially as a matter of safety.  We need to know where we're driving, we need to be watchful for how others are driving, and we need to notice traffic signs, lights, and all the rest.Our safety in the context of the road and the other drivers depends on what we do moment by moment.  We really have to be…aware.Sensitive to the SpiritI always appreciate spending time with followers of Christ who are sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading. Sometimes, in a conversation, someone I'm talking to will feel led to pray about whatever we're talking about…right then and there.  That shows a level of sensitivity that I believe honors the Lord, because it invites Him into the conversation and also brings His authority and guidance.If we have a plan to do anything in life at all, and we feel a prompting from the Holy Spirit to change what we're doing, we need to respond to that. Perhaps the Holy Spirit is prompting us to give something to someone, to have a conversation with someone, to pray with someone.  Any and all possible things can happen if we are stirred, convicted, or prompted by the Holy Spirit.  But we have to be…aware.Putting it into Context with GuitarYes, I believe there is direct application in multiple contexts where we play our guitars, specifically on the worship platform or the stage from where we are ministering with our music.Let's say we play guitar in a band, specifically on a worship team.  What do we need to be aware of?  I'd say everything. First, like Bruce Wayne or Batman, we need to mind our surroundings.  We need to know what's going on in the space in which we're playing, as we listen to the other musicians, the sound of the room, the response of the congregation, the vocalists, and their various musical decisions.As a part of minding our surroundings, we need to know where we are in the music.  If we don't know that, we can get lost.  I recall leading worship as a guest at a church, and as we rehearsed the set, the bass player started playing lots of notes that didn't make sense.  I paused the song and gently asked him if he knew what was happening.He humorously responded “Where did I go?”  We got back on track, and the rehearsal resumed.  But for a moment, that musician didn't know where he was.  I needed to know the music well enough to be aware of this, so I could guide him back.Second, like the Nertz card players, we need to know what's in our hands, and also in the hands of our fellow “players.”  We need to know what the band is doing, so we can be more musical.  In other words, if the band is doing something dynamically contrasting, or there's a specific groove, we need to be able to support that.  Knowing our music well also helps with this. We can help the other players, especially if we know what their role is, and where they are in the song, or even in their musical development.  We're a team, and we can be there for each other. Part of being a good “player” is to know what pastoral leadership is doing.  Sometimes, pastors think like musicians.  Sometimes.  But this is not common. I've had pastors encourage me (in the moment) to “play a few bars of something while I pray.”  They don't know what they want, but they ask for it.  We need to know how to accommodate their requests, and often with very little notice.We might want to come back around and ask them to set us up for success with a little more planning…but some pastors just don't work like that, so flexibility is essential. When we know what the pastor is doing, especially if it's a departure from the plan, we can make adjustments, but we have to be “in the moment” and totally aware to be able to do this.On the same subject of being a good player, we need to know what the techs are doing. Sometimes, despite the best of intentions and efforts, a song form won't get communicated to the projectionist, and what is up on the screen for the congregation to sing is not what is on our music stand (or in our rehearsed set.)  If this is the case, no matter how we've planned to sing the song, what trumps this is what we are “technically” telling the congregation is happening.Third, in terms of situational awareness, beyond the obvious need to know what to do should there be an emergency in the church (e.g. knowing the address, etc.), we also need to know if, on a much lesser level of seriousness, the service is going long.What do we need to do at this point?  Does it fall to us to cut or abbreviate the final song?  In an upcoming episode down the road, I'll unpack the value of communicating well with our teams, but I'll give you just a taste.I have been known to craft and rehearse two versions of a closing song – one unabridged, and the other abridged.  These versions have corresponding slide shows.  And I cue these visually, without a word.  If my hands are at their sides, my body language is communicating that I'm in no hurry – therefore, the unabridged version will be used.If my hands are in “play” mode on the guitar – fretting hand on the neck, strumming hand at the strings – then I'm “raring to go” with the need to opt for the abridged version.  Everyone – musicians, technicians, and especially the projectionist way up in the booth, gets the signal, and the length of the service is preserved, or at least kept close to “on track.”Fourth, in terms of social awareness, we need to know our part in the musical conversation.  The best thing we can develop is our ability to listen, because then we can contribute intelligently to what is being discussed. (I'm being metaphorical in my language – I'm talking about the notes we play.) If a piano player is playing a high riff with lots of 16th notes, there's no need for us to re-state that on the guitar.  We can play more sparsely in a lower register.  We can also parallel the drum beat.  Whatever the song requires.  But we need to be “socially” aware so as to contribute well to the musical conversation.Fifth, like a defensive driver, we need to be on the lookout for when fellow bandmates change tempo, or even accidentally play wrong notes.  Is it up to us to steer them back on course?  Maybe.  Or maybe we need to come alongside them. If a car in front of me stops unexpectedly, I need to change my course and stop as well, or we'll collide.  So, if the drummer changes the tempo or does something unexpected, I, like a good driver, may need to imitate what he's doing, for sake of preserving the flow of the song.Sixth, and perhaps most important, I believe we need to be sensitive to what the Holy Spirit is doing in our musical offerings. More times than I can count, I've been a part of a worship experience where someone was prompted to sing a song again, or add a verse or chorus, or add another song, or linger on a song.  Different church denominations approach this differently – some are more structured in their framework, others are more open to what might happen.But any time I've been prompted by the Holy Spirit in a worship setting and responded to that prompting, I've been grateful for what the Lord has done.  And in performances, sometimes I've felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to sing a particular song at a concert that I wasn't planning to sing.I'll ask a rhetorical question – can the Holy Spirit guide us as we plan the worship sets or the concert sets?  Absolutely.  The Lord is a God of planning as well, so even if the Holy Spirit isn't prompting us in the moment on the platform, He may have already prompted us to put together the very song set we are playing.Unlimited PotentialAs we wrap up today, let me offer this closing thought.  As worshipers, musicians and guitarists, we have tremendous potential as we use our gifts. But if we aren't aware, like each of these vignettes I've talked about today, we just might miss out on those opportunities to grow, to make an impact, or to be a blessing.So how aware are you as a guitarist?  Have you learned some things today?  If you have, I'd love to know.  Please leave me a comment, a five-star review on Apple Podcasts, or both. And please also check out GuitarSuccess4U.com.Lastly, as a friendly reminder, four weeks ago in Episode 53 of Guitar Serious Fun, I made a humble request.  And I'll ask once again.  Would you give us some feedback on how we're doing with this blog/podcast, and whether we should keep it going?The survey should only take about 5 to 10 minutes and it can be found at www.GuitarSuccess4U.com/SeriousFunSurvey. I know I asked three or four things of you today, but I'm in an asking mood.  Again, please comment, give us a high rating, check out GuitarSuccess4U, and take the Guitar Serious Fun survey.  Any or all of these could bless me, but ultimately, future guitar players who could be sharpened by what I'm offering here…and could also bless you as a guitarist.Thanks for reading Guitar Serious Fun!

In this episode, my wife, Janine and I openly talk about how we are leading our family, making decisions and navigating the range of emotions of ourselves and our four teenagers in the midst of uncertainty. To give you context, I am just out of self-isolation (literally three days ago). It was the weirdest experience ever - being isolated from my family who were themselves isolated as a result of the "Shelter-in-place" order of California governor. (Hear the story behind this from a previous podcast). This means we are working/schooling from home and have access to essential supplies such as medical, food, home supplies and outdoor exercise (and apparently hunting supplies, essential here in Northern CA). So how are we leading our family of four teenagers (13, 16, 17, 19)? Here, we reflect around seven areas of life. As you read or listen, consider your own area's to be intentional SO THAT over this period of time you will ADVANCE and INCREASE. The alternative is to run and hide or simply survive. We sincerely believe that in spite of what is going on, there is always something we can do to grow. So here's what we are doing...Spiritual- Sunday church online together. Our oldest daughter (19) goes to a different church so is doing their online service and bible study.- Communion together a couple times a week- Encouraging one another- Journalling and scripture and praying individually- Respecting one another's different approaches in connecting with GodIntellectual- Kids doing school (1 x 8th grade, 1 x sophomore, 1 x senior, 1 x online college)- Andy listens to audible books and podcasts and is reading John Adams- Janine is reading novels... David BaldacciEmotional- Walking- Digging a hole (Ben - 16!)- Playing with puppy and other dogs- Hugs- Getting into the 'wild' - running somewhere beautifulPhysical - Walking- Biking and mountain biking- Digging- Running- Pushups, lunges...- Ping pongFinancial- Investing in book launch- Updating financial accounts- Ideating about what we can do if this crisis continues beyond another monthRelational- Family meals, together- Family games in the evenings - Nertz, Clue, - Family meeting weekly to talk about how everyone is doing and upcoming weekRelax-tional...- Watching Blindspot on Hulu- Playing ping pong- Walking around the block- Sitting in front of fire and reading a book or listening to music/audible- Routine (get up, get dressed, do your hair, clean your room, do your dishes... school)- Invest in something - project, learning (here's 450 Ivy League School courses for free!) and here's a TON of educational resources for kids (fb group).So what about you? What are your goals for yourself, your marriage, your family at this time? And what other ideas do you have for any of these area's of life?Brought to you by Gulf Coast Recreation, your playground expert.

Hailed as one of the rising stars of the DIY/indie film scene at the turn of the 21st century -- including a "favorite filmmaker" designation by perennial bellwether critic Amy Taubin and a "Someone To Watch" Award given by the Independent Spirit Awards -- Andrew Bujalski, rather unwittingly, has been called the pioneer of the so-called "Mumblecore" movement in cinema. Perhaps the most recent alternative film ethos (or maybe just a marketing catchall by lazy journalists -- you decide), Mumblecore has boasted such "graduates" as Greta Gerwig, the Duplass Bros., Lynn Shelton and Joe Swanberg, amongst many others. And it all started -- for good or ill -- with Bujalski, whose films include Funny Ha Ha, Mutual Appreciation and Computer Chess. As the Mumblecore gang has grown up, with Bujalski himself having had recent mainstream success with his Support the Girls and screenplay for Disney's upcoming live-action Lady and the Tramp, we can now ask: What happens when film nerds and geeks become major movie stars and big-time directors? Find out on the this episode of NERTZ when Bujalski does far more than merely ... ahem ... MUMBLE his own thoughts on the answer.  

A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over

When it comes to learning new things, what's on your bucket list? A retired book editor decided to try to learn Latin, and ended up learning a lot about herself. There's a word for someone who learns something late in life. And when it comes to card games, how is it that the very same game goes lots of different names? What you call Canfield, other people may call Nertz! Finally, a bit of vulture culture: Words for these birds depend on what they're doing: A kettle of vultures is swirling in the air, while a group of vultures standing around eating is called … a wake. Plus, cat's eyes, Bott's dots, dumpster fire, spagglers, Dan Ratherisms, pussle-gut, and let's blow this pop stand. FULL DETAILS A restaurant review in the Myanmar Times describes a steak that "could not have been more middle-of-the-road if it was glued to a cat's eye." This analogy makes sense only if you know that cat's eye is a term for the reflective studs in the middle of a road that help drivers stay in their own lanes. Card games often go by several different names, like Canfield and Nertz, or Egyptian Racehorse and Egyptian Rat Screw, or B.S. and Bible Study. These names, and the rules for each, vary because they're more often passed from person to person by word-of-mouth rather than codified in print. Incidentally, the use of the word Egyptian in various card game names stems from the fact that playing cards supposedly originated in Egypt. A woman in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, say that there, if someone's fly is open, instead of saying XYZ for Examine Your Zipper, many people say Kennywood is open. Kennywood, it turns out, is a nearby amusement park. A San Diego, California, woman is baffled by her husband's saying: If a frog had a pouch, he'd carry a gun. It has to do with wishing for the impossible, similar to the saying If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. It's one of many Dan Ratherisms, folksy sayings popularized by the Texas-born CBS newscaster. The trendy term dumpster fire, meaning "a chaotically horrible situation," may have originated with sportswriters. Quiz Guy John Chaneski's quiz is a challenge to find the odd word out, etymologically speaking. For example, which word doesn't belong in the following group? Bigot, saloon, quiche, tornado. In Spanish, mordida literally means "a bite," but it's a kind of bribe. It predates the English phrase put the bite on someone by more than a hundred years. One proposed etymology for the Spanish term is that divers rescuing treasure from wrecked Spanish galleons were allowed, on their final dive, to keep as many coins as they could bring up crammed into their mouths. Another story goes that the underlings of a Spanish nobleman collected a special tax to help pay for his extensive dental work, then simply continued the practice after the work was paid for. Both of these colorful stories are probably too colorful to be believed. Mordida! is also a popular cry at birthday celebration in parts of Latin America, where the birthday boy or girl is encouraged by cheering guests to plunge face first into a cake. A listener in Abilene, Texas, says that his Maryland relatives always referred to asparagus as spagglers, so he was shocked when he got to college and realized no one else knew what he was talking about. This vegetable goes by lots of other names, including spargus, spiro grass, asper guts, dusty roots, and aspirin grass. In upstate New York, it's even called Martha Washington or Mary Washington. No word if Dan Rather coined this phrase, but shakier than cafeteria jello describes something that's pretty jiggly indeed. Is it a pitched battle or a pitch battle? Originally, a pitched battle was conducted according to traditional rules of warfare, which called for combat in a prearranged time and place. The pitch in this term has to do with positioning, in much the same sense as to pitch a tent. Bott's dots are little round pavement markers, named for California highway engineer Elbert D. Botts. Having retired as a New York book editor, and looking for a way to fill her time, Ann Patty embarked on the study of college-level Latin. She chronicles those studies and the life lessons learned in Living with a Dead Language: My Romance with Latin. Someone who begins to learn late in life is called an opsimath. What's on your opsimathic bucket list? A caller from Vermont says his Mississippi-born grandfather always called him a pussle-gut, and admonish him about an unseen wampus cat. The former, also spelled puzzle-gut, simply means "a fat or pot-bellied person," the pussle being related to pus, as in the bodily ooze. American folklore is full of stories about the wampus cat, a terrifying, hybrid mythical creature.   A listener in Springfield, Illinois, recalls that an elderly relative would respond to the question "How are you?" with the answer Forked end down. By that, he meant, "I'm fine." If you've ever drawn a stick figure, you know that the forked end is where the feet are, so forked end down means someone's feet are firmly planted on the ground. In the American West, forked end up long referred to the unfortunate position of a rider thrown from a horse.   A hike in San Diego's Mission Trails Regional Park has Martha pondering terms for turkey vultures. A flock of vultures in flight is called a kettle, a committee, or a volt, while a group of vultures feeding on carrion is called a wake. Let's blow this popsicle stand is an adaptation of Let's blow this pop stand, meaning to leave a place, and in a way that's showy. Think Marlon Brando in The Wild One. The glow in the eyes of some animals is called eyeshine, and the adjective that describes such shimmering in a cat's eyes is chatoyant, from French for "cat."
