Trying to play more above the fifth fret.

I haven't found it to be so easy. Improvement coming slowly but surely I think. Here is a flawed ending example.

Ha! If only there was something in my life that I could show off about.

I used to be able to walk on my hands, which always drew stares. Now when I walk upright on my feet I draw stares.

Lovely tune Chammon, well played
I've just started forcing myself to go above the 5th fret too (without a capo!) - nowhere near as good as you yet though!

Sounded good Chammom! I'm okay up to 5th, after that they sound tinny, but I'll keep trying and hopefully someday It'll come!

LOL....I thought of that exact quote last night when I read his thread title - I was trying to figure out which guitarist it was originally attributed to!

Sounds real nice, Chammon!
