Haven't played much. No real reason, just I haven't chosen to play much. Maybe the weather's a factor. We've had a cold spell which isn't really that cold: high around freezing. However in the highlands of New Mexico, people don't take precautions because the problem doesn't justify the resources. It is cold for so little of the time, why build a home to withstand the winter. This only applies to traditional homes. If you live in one of those pre-fab, climate-controlled, soulless tract homes, I don't suppose it matters. But in those traditional, more authentic domiciles, there isn't much padding: mud walls and planks sitting atop bigas for roofs. They serve their purpose of a desert dwelling and yes they are drafty and chilly for a few weeks a year. We are in those weeks, so I sit by the hearth and read and when I go to bed I put an extra blanket across my legs.
If the sun is out, there will be so more UV radiation that although the air temp is 32, I will be able to walk about with just a waist coat and sport jacket. So it isn't all that bad really. I haven't even put the windows on my jeep.
As I mentioned I haven't been doing much, just desultorily chasing a sound. I haven't quite caught it yet.
I start off with B+, the high note of which is the D#. From the chord I move to the D# and from there I have some options. I have been erecting the F# Lokrian 13 around that D# and improvise up to the A. From the A I slide horizontally to the E on the 9th fret. From that E I improvise in the E enigmatic and that's about as far as I got. I've done different things, like from that E on the 12th fret move up to the E on the 19th or descend back to the E on the 7th. I just haven't found the sound I want yet.
