Feb 2014

in 30 years? I'm really good at rhythm and melodic solos, don't really like finger diarrhea. I'm a follower of players like Joe Pass and try to to blend what I play with those I play with.
Played most all styles, but not the best on classical, but it grabs me and I try. Left hand works pretty well but the right is a bit sloppy. My finger picking is best but I'm pretty good at flat pick and thumb picking. I've got a decent, but cheap, acoustic, Washburn Falcon, and an Oahu vintage lap steel that has the BEST raunchy blues sound you've heard since Muddy.
Lot's of time on my hands to practice if it doesn't bust in on Stephanie, Randi, Mike and some of the other progressive radio shows that are a regular part of my day.
Oh, screw that! If I like the kind of stuff you do, I'd find the time to try and fit in.
