Very nicely done FB, be sure to look back at this a year or so from now, I can imagine you blasting thru it with great ease.

Cheers Guys,

Appreciate the kind words.
Knight46 I've been trying to get this down for months now! LOL
I am improving slowly with it,(too slowly for my liking). I think your right Xstring I'll continue to improve. I also have trouble with the pressure of the camera. Off cam I can relax and make less mistakes.
It's my own fault for saying to Starsailor that this would be my next project,LOL

Thanks again.
Andrew

You get better all the time Andrew, it was a real achievement doing this, you didn't look that nervous on the video.

Well Done

Chris

It's not so much nerves Chris, it's more the fact I start thinking “this is going well” and then forget where I am in the piece. Or start thinking “almost there” and hash it up. LOL
Normally I post my first take, but with this the first three takes had too much of Mr Locks calling for his son Bo on them. Hehe!

Cheers for taking a look Mattz, appreciate it.

Andrew

very nicely done. Imagine how much easier it'd be with three fingers and a thumb
The left-handed view gave me vertigo until I figgered it out.

Nice Job Fireblade.

I'd just got used to sound recording and thought I'd have a go at video. I've got to say it's really useful to see where your going wrong. I just lose track of where I am in the tune most of the time.


AOGE & Eddie, thanks for watching. It's surprising the quality of the vid as it's only a digital camera set on movie mode.

Nicely done, I'm like that you used just 2 fingers on the picking hand,
to me that seems easier than getting 4 working in sync!!!
