Greetings readers.
Or is it farewell???

I'm hoping that my blog will remain live in one form or another.
Maybe see you next week?

Interesting piece to learn Mark! Wouldn't have thought of it myself! :D

What are you having trouble with on the rising sun thing? I'm just thinking the way i play it is literally.. pluck the bass note, pause a little then rake the rest, unless your version is a little more tricky?

Nah mate, that's also the way I've been shown as well...

...just not able to change chord fingering with left hand at the same time as concentrating on which string to pick while staying in tempo.

Concentrating on changing 2 hands at the same time has me in knots !

There's a really cool kinks song... the name of which escapes me! That was a challenge for me with picking, no awkward bass notes but it made my picking hand and fretting hand work together much better!

I'll think about what it was and let you know!

Waterloo sunset?
You really got me now?
Sunny afternoon?

(just a couple o' kinks's from memory, lol)

Latest song Living for the weekend - got the fret fingering so far, it's the right hand picking that's letting me down - lacks accuracy and fluidity. Timing is OK, just hitting wrong string randomly...

Enjoying the journey, though :D
