This June I walked 777 km (466.2 miles) across Spain. I carried everything I brought on my back and stayed in the cheapest hostel available every night. Yes, it was a difficult way to live, but it was also peaceful, beautiful, and eye-opening. I might have learned more on that dirt road than I did during my entire Sophomore fall semester at college (sorry, Professors).

"It's crazy how we walk hours for what would have been a 20 minute drive," my friend Maeve said as a taxi blew passed us. We had been dragging ourselves up the edge of a highway for the dreaded last 5 km of our daily hike on el Camino de Santiago. Sitting at around 506,030 square kilometers, the entire country of Spain is slightly smaller than Texas. Spending every day for almost 3 weeks now walking across its countryside, I've begun to see travel and distance in a completely new light.

You’ve seen that T-shirt that reads “Plays Well with Others.” While many people perform solo, ensemble music can be a special delight but does require additional skills. Just as you need to have your act together about your own playing, you need skills in listening to and interacting with other musicians. You must learn to adjust to how others play, flex your music to fit, and ideally approach all of this with a warm and welcoming attitude.

I'm currently sitting in the 34th row of flight LH 1550 to Biarritz, France. A German man has just taken his next to me and already stolen the armrest. Since I'm at the window and he's stuck in the middle I suppose I'll let him have it. I'll start with the "who." I'm Jane Miller, a rising junior in college who is about to embark on el Camino de Santiago. El Camino de Santiago is a series of ancient routes across Spain, ending at the Cathedral of Saint James.

Playing in the pocket, or keeping consistent time, is an essential musical skill for all guitarists regardless of style or context. Yet, I have found that a basic understanding of rhythmic notation and its application to strumming can be a challenge to many guitarists. That’s a real shame because of the benefits it can give to your overall musicianship.
