Needle and the Damage Done- Suziko Version

[AcousticAl]

We're now up to THREE pages of great comments for a video that Suzi wasn't sure if she should post! Learn from Suzi, TG. Post your videos!!!


**This post makes it FOUR pages!!

[suziko]

Sure, Al, but if you took out the back and forth banter between you and me it would probably shrink it down to 2 pages

Bob- Thanks! I hope you do post something. I'm sure you'll be glad you did.

Michele- Since you've paid up on the karma, I'll let my henchman know that he doesn't have to pay you a visit

Bill- Wow, that is about the best thing anyone's said to me in a long time! You can hijack my thread anytime! It is strange that more women don't play guitar, and I'm thrilled to think I might help to inspire a young woman to take it up because it's such a rewarding hobby.

Marc- Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm glad I seemed like a seasoned pro, because I sure didn't feel like one. Hammer-ons are hard, and I certainly don't always "nail" them But the more I practice, the better they're getting. I've been playing "Friend of the Devil" a lot lately, too, which has a bunch of hammer-ons, so that gave me some good practice. Hope to see a video from you soon!

Suzi - you crack me up! I literally laughed out loud at the henchmen comment - hilarious.

Bill - that is so nice - I got all choked up reading your comment. It would be so great to have Katy and Brin join the community. I think/hope that they'd love it here too. TG is overflowing with sweet supportive people and I for one would be cheering them on.

You've given me even more inspiration to play and post. THank you.

Listened to this again tonight. Great technique, and wow, what a beautiful guitar. What model Taylor is that?

[suziko]

Jay, It's a 300 series Grand Concert size Taylor. Here's a link to more info on it:

I do love it so much!

Hi Suzi, I won't go into any general compliments, I guess that is now "ho-hum" for you.

I have to say that I like the way you do that little transition at about 1min03 secs.
I'm struggling to get that fluid, and you are pretty much close to that.

keep it up!

It would appear that Al gave you some great advice.

[suziko]

That's true, though Al can't really take the credit for me getting a Taylor. He probably thinks I should have bought a Fender It was a group effort that led me to this particular guitar, with Al in particular suggesting I look into something smaller, and Bear, Tovo, Nemaste and a few others suggesting a small Taylor. I was originally focused on finding a Martin 000-15 (suggested by Music Junkie), but noone in my area had one in stock; besides, once this Taylor fell into my hands it was love at first play!

Could it be that I'm losing my 'crazy mind-controlling mojo'??. Say it ain't so, Suzi!!
