Your best video to date. You look to be following along with the tab as you play. I have been spending more time trying to read tab, and I find it be quite difficult.

Another great performance, does it get easier to play other songs as you improve? Jim


(When you can snatch the pick from his hand it will be time for you to leave). Master Po?

For sure. You pick up techniques, chord shapes, muscle memory from other songs that carry over. That's why I sometimes leave a song that's giving me problems and come back to it in a month or so. You can only bang your head against the wall so many times before you gotta stop for a while. But you're still learning- even if you work on a different song.

As I said earlier in this thread, this song did not come easily for me. Something about the syncopated picking that I just wasn't getting. Persistence pays off.

Definately your best video. You really nailed the intro.

I think you have very similar musical tastes to me. Every time you post a video it reminds me of a song that I have started learning and let slip.
It gets me back to practicing them.

Hi Bob on any of Al's posts on the top right you will see Karma and a green thumb and a red thumb the green is positive and the red negative (we don't really use that one) click onthe green thumb. You can use this once every 6 hours to encourage us to use wisely.
