Here's an update on Life Stuff from Justin to you! [View this email in your browser]( Life Stuff Back to Work! Howdy pickers! Hope this newsletter finds you safe and well and having tons of fun with your guitar! Iâm just getting back into work mode after five weeks off. I took a month off for paternity leave, and I just got back from a week-long ski holiday with the family. My son is super chilled and hardly ever cries; he just eats, poos, and sleeps. But in the last few days, heâs become more engaged and aware of trying to communicate. It's almost time to start the baby sign language! I was dreading the drive to the French Alps with a newborn, but M was amazing, and the whole journey was pretty much without drama! We found a lay-flat cot car seat (which didnât exist when my daughter was born), making it much more comfortable for him. Skiing was great fun, we went to Tignes, and the skiing was great, though the town isnât as funky as Val DâIsere. I did ski lessons every day with a super instructor called Justine! Iâm only at the âESF 2Aâ level, but I made some progress and was getting more comfortable on the reds by the end of the week. I struggle to relax and lean forward as the slopes get steeper. It's funny how relaxing is hard when you canât do something⦠Itâs a significant problem for many beginner guitarists, but it seems to be a key to learning pretty much anything! The weather was mixed, first few days, we were skiing in snow storms with very low visibility, but the sun came out, and the last part of the week was very much âspring snowâ, icy on the top of the hill and slushy on the bottom, but at least the sun was shining - makes such a difference! But now Iâm back in my studio and looking at a crazy list of things I want done in the next month. I think Iâll start with some song lessons to get my fingers and brain warmed up again, and then I have some really fun Solo Blues lessons to film for a new free series. Then, Iâll head back to working on the mega [Blues Immersion program]( Iâve finished many âscriptsâ so now I need to get going with the filming and editing! I just realized that I didnât get a single picture of myself on the mountain skiing, which is crazy because the scenery was incredible. Instead, I popped a picture above of an incredible recent BJJ workshop I went to. It was with a leglock specialist, Lloyd Cooper, and the seminar was on one of my favorite submissions, the straight foot lock. I had my first day back on the mats yesterday after the break for skiing, and Iâd really missed it, the Jay Butler BJJ club feels like a family! Iâve not touched a guitar much in the last 10 daysâexcept for one night last week when one came out in a restaurant, and I had a little bash through Wonderwall with some friends and the whole place was singing along :) haha! Not much more news to share today, and I really need to get playing! I hope you have a fantastic month, and maybe see you at my [free Blues Club]( next week.
