I was working with a band. But as bands go, two of the guys are moving, one to LA and one to Florida. So I am looking again. But did get a lot of practice time in ... http://stanemmert.com/blog/2010/06/25/writing-a-lot-of-music-lately/ This week the telecaster is out to play. Something about this that I like http://stanemmert.com/blog/2010/03/23/new-guitar-riff-this-week-audio-sketch-3/ Finally finished and framed this new drawing of Colton. It is pencil and charcoal on cover stock. Always feels good to finish a project. Let me know what you think. http://stanemmert.com/blog/2010/03/04/new-drawing-finished/ Buzz is wide awake on drums for an early morning jam. I am working the Fender Telecaster. The first section is a bluesy rock groove with a Bill Lawrence single coil which gives that throaty sound. The second part is more of my signature sound with a double coil pickup. ... http://stanemmert.com/blog/2010/02/20/audio-sketch-2/ Just a snippit from a first jam. Ethon has a great drum setup with double bass, hi hats on either side so he can play with either hand. Good times. I brought the telecaster to the party. http://stanemmert.com/blog/2010/02/01/jam-day-with-ethon-on-drums/ The sketchpad is where I put down ideas.

The guitar is my Martin D-15. Check it ... http://stanemmert.com/blog/2010/01/29/this-is-my-first-audio-sketchpad/ Finally got to jam a little on some new music. Felt great, the music was sexy. Telecaster was in fine form. More music soon please. http://stanemmert.com/blog/2010/01/13/a-breath-of-fresh-air/ Yes, I'm working with my tele today. First idea uses the bridge pickup, a Dimarzio. The second part starts with a riff using the neck pickup a Bill Lawrence single coil. Bouncy. Singing mostly for the rhythm of it. Bzzz is using some electronic pads just for the ease of ... http://stanemmert.com/blog/2009/11/12/jam-day-a-couple-of-new-ideas-to-bang-around/ Here is a sketch waiting for a train in Montreal, black ink pen. This is a guy I saw walking on Oak St. beach in Chicago. Black ink pen. He would make a great cartoon character. http://stanemmert.com/blog/2009/09/30/sketches-for-your-viewing-pleasure/ Jamming today at home. My home is my castle. It's not too ostentatious do you think? Hey I'm a goof what of it. This one is actually in England. New music anyway.. http://stanemmert.com/blog/2009/09/25/making-new-music-today/
