Wow, what a great video, performance and example of the automatic thumb. Thanks for posting @Guy_H .
This is a real inspiration for me because the hardest thing she’s doing is the alternating thumb. I’ve been working on that. The pattern on the treble strings is mostly here middle finger, especially when she’s singing. And since she’s in open tuning, the fretting patterns are greatly simplified. And yet, she’s making this song sound so beautiful and varied and complicated. Like I said, this is a real inspiration for me to just keep working on that alternating thumb. No, I may never play like Tommy, but I might, one day, do something like this. (Maybe!)
I guess what has excited me about this is that I actually understand what she’s doing and I can see a clear path for me to get there. Wow, thank you so much TAC and Tony and all the TAC members and VOM attenders who have helped me to this point.
