Congratulations, !
Challenge complete
Come back tomorrow for your next challenge
Finally got it, but the last run up wants to slow down to keep it clean. Cant do much more on it tonight; my wrist is tight. That was great Tony. I cant wait to try it on the new guitar.
Tony, you make it look so easy. It’s coming bit by bit.
keep plugging away my friend. it took me a few days to get it down, and the last run up is still very choppy at the fast speed.
hey tony. just love this but my pinky is always sore. any tips on toughing up the pinky or is it just a matter of time. thanks
do you mean, toughening, as in pinky strength and dexterity, or pinky tip, as in calluses?
Awesome, Tony. I’ve played around with some bluegrass but never had it broken down so simply and cleanly
getting close!!!… that G walk up is tricky with the up down.I also sometimes hammer on the 2 and 3 on the a.
Hi Tony;
Have always liked this tune since watching your guitar reviews. I have no problem with your “old” video….I got all the parts but do find it’s very easy to suddenly increase speed without realizing it – until it’s too late! Your last bit of advice is key…I plan to tackle each section (slowly! That’s hard for me) til I play correctly consistently then link them together one at a time. The transitions are going to be my stumbling blocks….any possible tips to smooth the transitions out? Thanks again in advance
Hi Tony,
I kind of miss the count off that you usually give. It makes it much easier to get in the pocket when I know when to start.
Thanks for the great stuff. I am especially checking out the flat picking because I’ve never much been involved with it. I’m liking it.
Although with out the practice sheet & reflection I would probably be pulling out my hair;)
Ryc,
Sorry about the lack of counting here, it has been on my list to reshoot this one, but it just hasn’t happened yet. Rest assured it is on the list 🙂
Cheers,
Tony
Tony,
Please re-shoot.
Thanks
Scott
Tony,
On the last lick any reason not to just hammer on the 1,2 on the a string and then do the pullout on the D?
Maybe not quite as articulated but sounds good?
David
I have each part down and working on tempo and transitions….this is great!!!
Hey Tony, I noticed that in section 5, the second time you go through the “D” section, you pick the A string. On the full song, both slow and fast, you don’t do this but hit the D string. Is it okay either way? Or was it an oops on section 5? (I kinda liked the base of the A string in that picking series!)
Russ,
Great observation, you can actually hit either the D or A string for the bass note of the D chord, both notes make sense for the chord 🙂
Cheers,
Tony
Where doe he do this? I would like to hear it as well
Really digging this. Like the other dudes just speeding up the parts and linking them together. Measures 3-4 are tough for me.
Josh,
Nice to hear that you are liking this rhythm 🙂 Keep up the good work and linking them together will get easier and easier!!!
Cheers,
Tony
Late, but back to this one, starting to get it. ..just gotta get my speed up. Like it a lot.
I think I have all the parts down (at a slow tempo) Now I need to string them together and pick up the pace
