![]() Point Reyes National Seashore has more than 150 miles of trails for hiking, running, bird watching, and on a few routes – biking. However, the surf and tides in this area are dangerous, and rip currents and under-tow waves can be deadly. The National Park Service says this beach expands over 11 miles (18 kilometers), making for a significant “out and back” workout. Miles of solo beach walks Point Reyes Beachįrom two parking lots (north and south beaches), a runner or long hiker can travel on the sand for many uninterrupted hours. Hiking from several trailheads will allow the explorer a different experience at each beach. The beach seems to go on and on here in both directions, but some rocky outcroppings in the north end of Point Reyes cut the beach into sections. McClure's Beach is also known for its tide pools and sea animals nestled among the rocks and swirling water. On my last visit with CT and her friend Denise, we hiked to McClure's Beach, explored the coast, and dodged the high surf in a nearly empty stretch of endless sand. Hiking down to McClure's Beach McClure's Beach ![]() Historic Pierce Point Ranch Hiking in Point Reyes National SeashoreĪfter arriving at the end of the road, a parking area allows visitors to stop and explore Pierce Point Ranch, hike down a short trail to McClure's Beach, or continue northward for up to 5 miles (8 kilometers) through herds of elk and the end of Tomales Point. I have never seen elk outside of the mountain states of Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, or Montana – so witnessing and photographing huge herds of elk along the beaches of California is a real treat. My first move when I visit Point Reyes National Seashore is to take Pierce Point Road to see the herds of elk and the historic Pierce Point Ranch. Part of the large elk herd we saw Tule Elk Reserve The drive to Point Reyes is half the fun, too, as the bounty of exotic and beautiful scenery north of the Bay Area is hard to beat. Located just an hour's drive from San Francisco in the United States, Point Reyes is a peninsula that juts out into the cold, windy, and usually foggy Northern Pacific Ocean. Point Reyes location map Where is Point Reyes National Seashore? Today, more than one-third of the land is set aside as wilderness, and the National Park Service administers the park. In 1962, commercial development began to threaten the beauty and uniqueness of the peninsula, so the United States Congress authorized Point Reyes National Seashore to protect scenery and animal habitat. Point Reyes National Seashore is truly a memorable trip, where a day can be spent away from the modern world in a peaceful and historical location.Ĭattle ranches and dairy farms have been operating in the area since the 1850s, and they're still going strong.ĭriving carefully is essential, as cows and their baby calves can cross the road in front of you. ![]() CT strides toward a cliff in Point Reyes National Seashore That morning was twenty years ago, and since then, I have returned several times. I did not know it at the time, but I had accidentally stumbled into what has become one of my favorite spots for a memorable day trip. On this morning, I randomly drove onto some deserted roads and lovely narrow lanes where I was in the only car for miles around. I chose to drive north across San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge in the dark, loaded down with only my camera and an ambition to take some amazing photographs in a part of the world where I had never been. My intended destination when leaving the hotel on that autumn morning was undetermined. I thought it was a place where time has stood still for perhaps a century or more. On a cool and lonely morning, I watched emotively as the full moon set into a distant fog bank beyond the crashing waves in Point Reyes National Seashore.

Having only started producing in 2011, this producer has made it quite a way in a few short years, especially considering Antidote is a 2015 release. Eestbound has been creating dark beats that borderline between hiphop and RnB since 2014. This label, along with Epic Records, would release Antidote to the world, achieving a Top 20 placement on US Billboard Top 100.Ģ1 year old producer Eestbound, born Bryan Van Mierlo, is adding to the hard hitting Toronto sound, being the first artist singed to fellow Toronto producer WundaGurl’s (who co-produced this release) label imprint. The comes April 2013 and Scott was announced to be a part of T.I’s imprint, Grand Hustle. ![]() This is after appearing on the compliation album, Cruel Summer, which featured other successful artists like Kanye West, Jay Z, Kid Cudi, Pusha T and more. Later that same year Scott got signed to Kanye West’s production wing of his label (GOOD Music) Very GOOD Beats. Travis Scott, born Jacques Webster, Jr., 1992 in Houston, Texas, signed his first major record deal in 2012 to Epic Records. Having been performed live at JMBLYA a couple of weeks prior to release, this track wasn’t originally meant to be on Rodeo, but due to its popularity among fans it was added to the album and released as the second single from said album. The acclaim being the fact that this track reached number 16 on Billboards Hottest 100 and has been certified as triple platinum by the RIAA. Overview: Being the second single from Travis’ highly anticipated debut studio album, Rodeo received high acclaim.

I guess, essentially I see “CAGED” as this - you have a series of open chords you can play in the first position, and each one of them, by filling in the spaces in the arpeggio that makes up the chord, can be thought of as an open position scale. Trying to write quickly here while brewing another pot of coffee in a work break, so I apologize if this is a little sparse. Some of this is extremely idiosyncratic, of course. I guess this is how I understand the CAGED system, and this is why, at the end of the day, I don’t find it terribly useful. Troy - like I said, it’s entirely possible I’ve just never gotten a good explanation of the “CAGED System” and you’re someone who I consider an incredibly thoughtful musician, so I appreciate your taking the time to weigh in here. I had no idea how to locate the notes of the next chord flavor / tonality in whatever spot I happened to be in. And if the chord changes, forget it, I was dead. I could play the E minor scale in all seven 3nps fingerings, but it was tons of memorization, and only resulted in any lick I knew sounding like a scale. ![]() TLDR you and probably everyone else are already “CAGED” players, and I really wish someone had showed me this when I was 15, when I all I knew was “scales covering the fretboard” but couldn’t improvise. So when we transcribed his licks, I actually named them that way, in terms of which shape they live near, because it seems clear that’s how he thinks. He said something like “I have certain positions I’m very comfortable with”, and then blasts out a few bebop licks that are all basically in the E-major barre chord area. In the case of Oz Noy he eventually said “i see the shapes” and in Olli Soikkeli’s case I eventually figured out that the word “position” is what he uses. ![]() It has been very hard to draw out the what they think about the fretboard in words since a lot of even really technical players like Oz Noy don’t seem to think about this explicitly, even though it appears to be what they’re doing. In the interviews we’ve done over the past few years, I’ve explicitly tried to get at this by asking players how they navigate the fretboard. I’d also point out that this idea of familiar shapes with licks loosely attached to them seems to be one of if not the only way the guitar is played in an improvisational sense. In fact, rather than move their vocabulary up the neck, grass players just capo and keep playing “open” C. In some sense that’s the most obvious form of CAGED there is, since they when they play the “C” shape, it really is a C chord, as opposed to just the C chord shape played somewhere else up the fretboard. Even if you never play the actual chord, you still know what area it exists in, thus you know exactly how to find the phrases.Įven bluegrass players, who live basically live in first position 90% of the time, have specific phrases for each open chord they play over. Knowing the chord type is how you quickly access phrases in the matching tonality without having to know note names or do “harmony math” in your head. Once you do that, learn chord progressions strung together where the licks connect, so that you can “play through the changes”. Now just do that for every chord and phrase type you know. You know how when you play the E-shape major barre chord, that’s also the location of the box position blues scale? So when yoy play the barre chord you can instantly jump into a blues lick in the same spot? That’s CAGED. The idea here is making it simpler for you to find on the fretboard the sounds you’ve previously conceptualized. The book is all about “control” over the fretboard, so it starts right away with exercises like: play all the possible intervals, in all possible pitchs, using different strings throughout so it makes you map all the simple intervals we often take for granted like octaves, fifths and fourhs but also the more “annoying” ones like minor and major seconds. If you don’t see value in that type of knowledge, I suggest a method called “The Advancing Guitarrist” by Mick Goodrick - maybe it’ll change your mind. Think of it as a mean for better chord previewing so you can play conceptualized sounds easier. This isn’t music theory, but it’s not a mechanical type of knowledge either. The CAGED system is meant for mapping all the possible triad voicings you can encounter on the fretboard - it’s a tool to increase control over the instrument. I’ve never run into an explanation of the “caged system” that has really sold me on it being of any value beyond just knowing a decent amount of music theory. |
