Been playing professionally, including college concerts, for 60 years, and I learned several new things already—halfway through! Wow and thanks.
Great Playing! I noticed that the finger you use to fret string 1 at fret 2 seems to depend on the context of the next chord— can you explain a bit??
Thanks
I’ve got plenty of technique. My problem is getting out of my head, as I think you put it. Any suggestions?
