Re: My first video post
Yea Nelson. I knew you'd get it. Try playing a bit more of a rhythm accent in your tremolo line. That should even you out some. And tuck that index finger in. It'll change the angle your wrist will do the work.

Re: My first video post
Old Daingerfield in A is good. I bet Terry's on board with that one. Perhaps an E or G or D or C or F tune next... Terry, glad you didn't skin your sidearm on me for not maintaining proper speed.

You can slow it down if you need to in order to learn the tune, but after you do, practice at full speed. Also, try learning several tunes in each key. G, C. D, A, ect. By learning that many tunes you will remember licks from each key. Then if you are jamming and they play a tune in G that you really don't know, you might can use some of the licks you remember from the ones you do know.

Re: My first video post
Nelson, If you can play that difficult a tune that well, you can jam too. Nothing to be shy about. You'll learn more by taking chances, getting lost, making flubs, and recovering in a jam than you do by playing perfectly. If anyone looks down their nose at you, it's their problem not yours IMHO. I've been participating some in the Song A Week group on the mando cafe (more like one a month for me), and I've learned a lot by recording videos of my playing. I think you have a good plan, Nelson.
