Looks like you held out on us at Monroe camp Nelson. I don't think that will happen again. This sounds good for the most part. Has the bounce. The tremolo needs loosened up some, which is very hard at that speed. I don't think I could do it quite like I'd like to hear it myself. The timing is great buts gets a little waggly during that part. Try playing with a Monroe recording and doing some double-stop tremolo over the whole thing and inject the Monroe pulse in the tremolo, to keep that groove going. Does Mike sanction this pick grip? Good job Nelson. If I ever get a chance to record some I'll expect similiar treatment.
Got an idea for a Nelson jam skewering next year: Pick about 8-10 songs you will be comfortable playing by next year. They don't have to be full speed, unless Terry is watching. Some Monroe wrote, some trad. tunes he did, etc. Let us know so we can work 'em up too. We'll do them all in one sitting and in between each one we will throw in one you don't know. Equal parts familiarity and unfamiliarity. Life is too damn short not to jam. Just have to embrace that feeling of falling flat on your ass for a while. It even happens to the very best although much less often.
