My first impression was "hey that sounds pretty good... nice backing track too". Then I realized you were playing solo. Dear lord, how long did it take you to work that out and learn to play it so well? Bravo!

Thanks Murph! I learned the technique in the '70's and it was due to a similar realization that you describe above but I was listening to Chet Atkins. Merv Griffin had Chet on and explained to the audience what he was doing. It was a major revelation. It's a fun technique fer sure but takes a while to get down. -Marty

Great stuff Marty! You've inspired me to work on finger picking technique again.

Nokie, that was great. I also appreciate how much fun it looked like you were having. Sometimes your expression was one of pure joy.

Thanks dudes. Yeah Tim, I was indeed having a joyful time. Of course it also helped that my wife was doing the filming and making faces to remind me to smile - she does that to me!
