Just wanted to thorw this out there. The little ditty is a real challenge, but fun to do. Its not exactly like the track but you get the idea anyway. I cant really sing it so I didnt want to carry on with monotonous verses. Anyway, comments always welcome.
Mike Oh yea... Its Mother Goose. And now I can see Im stuck on the wall again!!@#)(*+_uy(*(*^^)$$$ oH WELL

Snipe,

I love that song and you did an incredible job. I hadn't heard that song for a long long time and your rendition gives me something to think about trying.


Thanks for the song, thanks for the idea.

Mike -

Fantastic job, on a really tough song. That little riff at the beginning, middle and end has always been a hurdle for me with this song, and you nailed it.

I love hearing you do any Ian Anderson song - you seem to have an extra special knack for his style.

Thanks for posting.

Mike- that was awesome!! Very well done! I'm working on a couple of Tull tunes as well. I just love the sound they made. Ian and Martin; they still sound great together!

Cheers! :cheer:

Mike,

Very nice version of this song!!! I quite enjoyed that.

Gadzooks Mike, that was quite special, loved it.

I wonder ... if I had never heard of this tune and it was presented as being bluegrass, would it fit in that category?
It's intricate flatpicking, isn't it? Is it a close call or does some technical aspect exclude it from being bluegrass?

Great post!

Wow, that was really really nice! Actually the thing I liked the most is that you're not trashing those strings, but you kept it calm and smooth, very nice playing!

That was really cool Mike, good job!

Great playing Mike, as Jeff said the quick riff is very challenging, I can play the rest but I am totally blocked by this fast picking. You are doing it effortless. great job.

Scott: Thanks. One of my favorites. You should go for it.. Fun to play

Jeff: Appreciate it. Yes that little riff is a beast.

Big Bear. Thanks as always. Hoping to see some of your tull work someday

Mark M. Glad you enjoyed it!

Pierre: Yikes... umm, not sure.. Yes there is some detailed picking in there. Pretty typicall for ian anderson. I wouldnt say its in a catagory with bluegrass. Neil could answer that one. Do you ever listen to any bluegrass?? just curious. Im a big fan. Some of it is really difficult stuff. If nothing else cause its so freaking fast.

Vanessa: Thanks for the technical view. Its always very helpfull. Appreciate it.

Nftt: Thanks. Glad you liked it

Marc: Did you post this song somewhere? That riff is a real...... )_&_(_)&(&(_%&^$^%. I actually learned this song a couple years ago, and even now, im lucky if i nail that riff 75% of the time. Thanks for watching
