I feel you bro; one thing that helps me to avoid that feeling of "wandering around" on the instrument is that whenever I sit down to practice, I have a goal. Maybe to learn the melody to a song, maybe to practice scales/rhythm/musicianship-type stuff, maybe to enhance an arrangement of a t...

Hey all, not sure if anyone has ever done business with a guy here in Pgh. name of Dean Shumaker, but he passed this weekend of a sudden stroke.
