Phish bassist Mike Gordon appeared on the first episode of eTown host and Hot Rize member Nick Forster's new series, 'Teach Me One Thing.' Each episode sees Forster invite a guest on the program to teach him something.
After discussing their quarantine situations, Gordon introduces his lesson, which is a concept called the "non-varying dial." The bassist explains that Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir taught him the lesson, which teaches a player to focus on one chord or sequence of notes instead of varying one's playing. "By forcing yourself not to vary, there’s almost a reverence that comes … it’s a surrender, I don’t get to control this,” Gordon explained.
