        Encouraged by the positive feedback I got for my other attempts at Brian’s songs and knowing that I probably won’t have time for the next 8-10 days, I decided not to wait and post my next video today.

        I studied this song parallel to the EP070, so for round about 3 to 4 weeks. I can play it okay with a metronome (at least yesterday), but not very well with my acoustic guitar (because of the double stops).

        Bryce, your advice to keep the camera on at all times proved very valuable. It took me only 4 takes this morning. I was ready and willing to go for 30 like yesterday, but I stopped recording after this one. I doubt it would have gotten any better at this point.

          You got some fast fingers there. Do very good on this one.

          The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

          It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

              Excellent playing! That’s a tough one to play on tempo and, except for a few small breaks you hit it. Cool SG as well.

                  That’s a nice sound Trem! You’re pretty prolific all of the sudden!
                  Good job!

                    You are too kind, Jim. But good to hear that, I appreciate it!

                      One sees your passion on the video.
                      Really if there is a push to you for the day!
                      Thus a hobby should be.

                      Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.
