I remember that feeling, and wait until you put it into practice! I love it when you jump a hurdle and get that exhilaration of success, until you realise how much more is ahead :) My first experience with this was in April 2008 when MC sent me my very first tune, True Life Blues, and I had to play it all in down strokes, lots of fun. After that I experimented often and I'm only just starting to get that "digging in" sound. Ask me in a year & I'll probably laugh at my progress in review.
The most recent bridge I crossed was when working out one of Mike's solos on Darlin' Corey from the Little Grasscals: Nashville's Superpickers cd. There's a solo with a flurry of strumming that has a certain pattern to it. It took me a while to get it so that it felt natural and I could reel it off as required. I've been trying to build up a bank of proficient "licks" so I can use them on call but it's hard going....and totally worthwhile. Just keep going, the rewards are there.
