tvarga learning On The Horizon guitar lesson
PLEASE NOTE: If video was recently uploaded it will not work yet. YouTube will need a little more time to get the video ready. Please check back again soon.
I've been really motivated to learn this beautiful song that Neil wrote. I think I've got it down pretty well although I admit that I'm not playing the 2nd measure correctly. I just can't do the pull-off with my pinky because the callouses are too creased by the strings making it hard to do it predictably. I do plan to work on it though.
Unfortunately, my 'stage fright', or performing in front of the camera isn't improving. I get stressed, my fingers get stiff and I end up making mistakes all over the place. After doing a few dozen takes, this is the best I could do. Hopefully the mistakes won't be too detracting.

Very nice , you are certainly a quick learner as this beautiful song has not been available for a long time and still you are playing it quite well. I think that the stress you are referring would probably be reduced by doing some hand exercises to remove the tension in the fingers(easier said than done, I know). Maybe someone has a suggestion on these that could benefit to everybody (in another thread).
Really enjoyed your post

Nice job indeed Tom! That is sounding really good. We all know what it's like when the camera is running ... so no worries on that.
Your abilities as a guitarist are demonstrated well with this difficult piece. I aspire to your level of playing and hope to be there in a decade or so. I'm sure Neil will be pleased with your performance. I can't add anything helpful from a technical standpoint, but I will say that I enjoyed watching you play that.
