Thanks Bill, and Thank you Neil.
Now I really have something to do. Why is it that I always fall for the stuff that is way over my head?

Scott, who can resist jumping on Neil Hogan's guitar "StairMaster"? :laugh:

I'm taking the plunge Neil, proceeding with risk as you suggested. However, I already have a question about finger placement. I know this drip will be feeding us for a long time and I want to make sure i get every little thing correct. And I follow your finger placement pointers right up to the end of the 8th, start of the 9th measure. Or the end of the first ending. The fingers, they seem to jump around differently at that spot.Wow, what a karmic, historic, dangerous, crossing of collateralized streams... To paraphrase John Fahey (or maybe Al Stewart?), "I almost called this piece 'Life On The Stairmaster' but the item, and/or the term hadn't been coined yet." Proceed at your own risk!
Yours Truly,
Neil

Is the risk too much? I don't know yet, but I sure am having fun.
Scott
Yep, me too Bill. In fact, I've spent the last hour working on it. I watched the split screen a couple dozen times, and I think I have the fingering notes pretty acurate.sbutler wrote:

Scott, I am not sure if this will help, but I printed out the PDF file and then made some of my own notes on hand position as I watched the play-through (and paused it frequently.....very frequently). With this song, I figured I will need all the help I can get.
Bill
Vary!! now that's an understatement, my finger placements verge on dyslexic fingers!Bill & Scott,
I must confess that there are a couple of spots in this tune that I finger multiple ways depending on the phases of the moon and other astronomical (maybe astrological?) considerations. For the lesson I tried to get consistent with what I think is best for most guitar players. Your mileage may vary.
