Hey Sal great job, I really enjoyed it. The two parts seamed together real well. I also really liked the slide show.

Now that was truly original. Nothing to be ashamed of in that rendition. I don’t know if you have a Macbook or iPad, but if you do, you can set a metronome in Garageband and record to it. Then if you need to take a break, you just stop recording and take a break. When you’re ready, go back to the beginning and hit the record button again but don’t play yet (you can hear what you’ve already recorded playing). When the break comes around, just jump in and start playing again. That way you can make a totally seamless merge. Does that make sense? You could record it one bar at a time that way if you needed to.

Hi Sal, then came the Blues really. The I liked. You teach with your stop in the right mood. 😉

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

Thanks to all who answered,and thanks to Sunjamer for the much needed advice on seamless stops and starts! Again thanks guys……………..Sal

Hi Sal and great posting the link only seemed like a glitch that I and some others make in every recording so no big deal.

You played great and a bluesy groove; I imagined it coming from the car radio on your first photo which I notice is your member picture also, so assume you and an early car of yours?

Cheers Bri

Hello Sal,

Score: Sal: +1 Arthritis: 0

Way to go, bro….No flies on you as they say. Great job. Them fingers still work just fine.

Let’s get ready for the next challenge…

[Badger (4FingerPhil)]

Yep, sounded mighty fine to me, Well done Sal. My dad suffered badly with arthritis in his fingers, so I imagine how painful that must be. But as Martin says, you triumphed, cheers Phil

[Sal]

Thanks again guys,your support really helps! Yo Bri,yes,that’s me at 20 right out of the army.Joined at 17,went to Korea for a year,then back to Ft.Meade,Md.When they started to build the Berlin wall,I was sent to France & Germany,so the three years went pretty quick! The 56 Ford Victoria was my very first car at a whopping 500 bucks lol. Those were the days my friend!!…….Sal

[Debra]

Hey Sal
Love the tone you have in your playing! Really nice.
Cheers
Debra

[Brian]

Great playing Sal. We’d never know you had arthritis from the sound of your playing. Sounds great. Thanks you for sharing.

[Don D.]

Sounds great, nice mood in your playing. You mentioned arthritis, yet your bass string sounds like cable. Granted you will lose some richness and depth, but maybe you ought to think about restringing lighter (your low E sounds like at least .050, but probably .052?). Just a friendly suggestion, feel free to ignore.
