Thanks. You reminded me of this classic. It had slipped by me. I like it slow deliver pace. Also pulls in a bit of our Ain’t No Sunshine benchmark technique.

[albert_d]

Well, I hope you don’t mind but I pulled out the Ovation and just played along with you. Don’t know the words but riffed all over the chord progression. Ha.

I liked Willie’s version too but then I’m from Austin. Your version would be good around that old campfire with a refreshing beverage and a few friends dodging the smoke.

You finger tips may be sore today! Or your shoulder. Ha.

That’s a raw version. Lots of power and force. Today is the 60th anniversary of the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Lots of force and power came out of the 60’s.

When I was a boy it was legal to have segregated establishments. Guess I’ve seen the rain.

Good win. I too have tried and played genres that I wouldn’t have spent time to learn otherwise but always seems to lead to a greater appreciation for those genres or techniques. Keep up the good learning curve!

This story was worth the length. It is a recall of one of those one-in-a-lifetime moments. And Happy Taciversary. I’ve been around a few myself, but I recall when I started TAC I thought of you as an early adapter/old timer way back then. I appreciate your true love of music and guitar geekiness. Congratulations and good health to you this next year.

I also start hearing things like runs, or pull offs, hammer-ons, bends in songs, double stops, drones that I did not realize where there but have become conscious of them. When I add them to my playing, suddenly it is richer and has more texture. It sneaks up on you.

Tough question. I think I’d double up on the days I could practice (20 minutes instead of 10) and then get five in a week. The Technique, Lick, Scale and Improve, Rhythm, and Chord Transition build on each other. It is different than 30 days to play.

I have only used YouTube. I hope you get your issue resolved. It seems like a bureaucratic snafu to me and although I respect YouTubes desire to adhere to copyright law, this seems misunderstood.

So the non radio live performance version!

[albert_d]

You are on a prolific stretch. I like the procussive touches and stop timing.

[albert_d]

Great song. I understand that Jimmy Webb wrote this song after being asked by Glen Campbell to follow up on By the Time I get to Phoenix. Very few songs have successful follow up songs. Jimmy supposedly got the inspiration while driving l long stretch through Oklahoma and seeing a lone lineman working at the top of a pole and imagined the lineman talking to his girlfriend.

Another nice job. That Taylor reflects so well I could see out your opposing window.

It must be exciting to be so good that The Eagles feel threatened by your performance. A high complement indeed.
