I'm Adam Manus.

And you're listening to the You'll Hear podcast.

Music advice coming at you.

Coming at you today.

Peter, it's our first day live on YouTube.

I feel like it's going all right so far. I mean, we're 15 seconds into it, but, you know,

it feels solid as we're going here. Well, of course it feels solid here. What does it feel like

to our dear listeners? I don't know. But so, yeah, to our dear listeners, we're switching

things up a little bit. We will be live 4 p.m. Eastern every Monday.

You can join us on YouTube on the Open Studio YouTube channel.

We'll put a link here in the description.

Yes.

So that if you want to come and ask us questions, you know, we've been doing like email questions.

We've been taking speak pipes, which is like a voicemail question system that we have for pretty much the entire time we've had the UL Hear podcast. We did a little bit of Instagram live in the early pandemic days. The gram, we had we had trouble like really picking up on the algorithms of the gram. Here's what's so cool though about doing this live in the in the pot suite. You could ask us questions and you can be like, hey, what's our voicing you guys always? And I could be like, oh, you mean that voicing, and we can show you. That's right. Well, indeed we can, and that's always the, that's the fun part of it. And like this view right here, do you see what's happening here? Of course, if you're listening, you have to imagine. Imagine Adam and I across a long table

from each other, barely in the shot. With some plexiglass between us. With some plexiglass, somebody astutely referred to that plexiglass as a sneeze guard. It's a giant sneeze guard is what it is. But we're not even sneezing in here. But this has been really good for my posture because if you have bad posture. I don't know if you notice this, Adam. You will not be in the shot. Look at that.

You follow the shot. Yeah, you got if you notice this Adam, you will not be in the shot.

Look at that. You follow the shot. Yeah, you got to keep that lumbar region. That's right. Like curved a little bit. But that's an important part of playing too. We're always getting questions about voicing and different things. And occasionally folks will ask about position, which I always think is especially important for every instrument because obviously the technique and the posture and how you're physically

approaching each instrument is different, but it's always important. And if you can clue into,

look, can I get up on my high horse no please this is this is what our free four Monday

episodes need to be like this exactly yeah that's right so the idea is that we always have the

opportunity to put ourselves in the best position literally physical position to be able to practice

to be able to um you know achieve something in our practice but even yet, practice the way that we want to be
