I guess I am one of those cup overflowing kind of students.
I learned a quite a lot from Stu despite the fact my cup was always full.
With Martyn I had a chance to start again, and although I initially dived into his method and in Mick Goodricks Modal Vamps etc I think I have reverted back to my own position/chordal based playing :-)
I really need to just put my own opinions and knowledge on the back burner and surrender to his expertise.
What this means is going back to the drawing board and starting from scratch, learning the names of the notes of all the keys one string at a time :-)
To make this interesting I need to get creative. I need to do daily random key and mode practice, as well as improvise over simple chord progressions and standards on one string.
Time to chop some wood and draw some water.
