I've been looking at ELP's From The Beginning.

This is a difficult lesson.
It's great you've added the additions too.
:ohmy:

Did I hear you say ... mistakes :dry: ..... I would love to be able to play all those perfect mistakes !
:laugh: :laugh:

Measures 8 - 14 - Intro
When discussing the strum, you mention that when strumming faster one can hear an extra beat in there.
Is that a down stroke missing the strings and striking the guitar on beat 4 (the rest),
I wonder also if sometimes you do a light down up on beat 4 sometimes ?

Did you ever add a video segment for the Lead as written in the tab.
I'd like see how it's played TGNeil style and how to play the bends and keep it fluent.

I'd like to take you up of the tab for the Additional Part - Corrections and Variations.
Thanks
Dermot

Dermot,

Thanks for the question but let's see what it reminds people of for a little bit first. Also, tell me what you hear that is unusual in the little improv. There might be a couple things.

It's all a Mystery to me !
Your fingers dance about your fretboard like magic. :dry:
I like what I hear but sorry can't name any of it.
