Gary, you are absolutely right!! I hope to be posting "Classical Gas" next week and you will see that the bar cords forces me to make the change and that is no problem. It is just that I have played cords like "D, A, Am, D, Dm, small F, etc for so long that when I try to shift to the correct wrist position--- I can't even fine the notes--my fingers say "What the????????? where did that come from?? You can't do that!!!! Who do you think you are?? Neil Holgen. So the new songs will help force me to make the changes a little at a time----- I hope.Terry, It seems most people use the baseball grip unless they have had training. It seems to come natural to use more of the baseball grip except certain chords that force you to position your wrist so you can stretch to reach notes. It's like you are fighting nature. I'm curious to see what happens when you play a song that requires you to say, barre and reach your pinky a couple frets up where you are really streching. I wonder if you would automatically bring your wrist around cause you don't have a choice if you want to play a riff, fill-in or chord requiring you to strech up the fretboard. Just seems odd that the most natural way of playing is what we are supposed to avoid and the most unnatural is what we are to strive to do. Enough of that subject. On your video, I see what you are saying, "how you have a hard time slowing down" after practicing faster. When I watched your video again I did notice it seemed like you were racing to get to the end of the song instead of making some variations of timing to emphasize certain parts of the song to add a little more feeling. Gary
Anyway, thanks for your input.
Terry
