Way to go Kevin, great job and well sung. That's a pretty good song for your voice, eh. Congratulations on your singing and playing... keep it up on the tube or it will disappear from hear too.

Mike,Bob,Bill,Tovo and Bear.Thanks guys.

Willem.straight travispicking no but most of the song.And yes im trying not to rest the little finger on the guitar.And some songs it a little easier.And other like this one,if I dont right hand moves around to much.Just something to work on.But your right it should not be there.

THANKS Kevin

Good stuff, I don't have technical comments, just that videos like this are much appreciated. They add to the fun of surfing this site. Good work! Have you been using a thumbpick for long?

Hi Kevin, another great video from you. I like your signing. What kind of thumb pick do you use? Do you grind it short as I heard people commenting on? I could never find one that I could be comfortable playing with.
