I made my first finger pickin Video
Mark was nice enough to post this vid for me. It was a practice run to see if my camera would work. It did. It is a full screen vid. The sound track is from the camera mike as I was playing through one of me amplifiers. I was more interested in keeping the guitar neck in the center than I was in picking, so it is a bit sloppy here and there. Fortunately there are some clean shots of some licks that you guys might want to make your own. Anyway, a rocker friend of mine loved it, so I guess it is good enough to post. Hope you like it and can use some of it.

How big is this thing..
Tried to play it but it's still downloading after 15 minutes..And I'm on broadband..
Would love to see it though..
Although if you cut those Girly fingernails you really could use a pick more effectively :P
HAHAHA, no I only wish I could finger pick ,but, playing a right handed guitar left handed I would have to devote my life to a new technique
Just save to disk. It is HUGE about 371 megs, but it is 640 X 480 full screen high quality Video. I don't have the know how or programs to down size it.
I made it a free download because it concentrated on the working hands of a fingerpicker. That way a lot of peeps can steal any lick they want to make their own. Mostly, it is both hands and the neck and not much else. Kinda folk fusion
The fusion part is because I didn't concentrate on timing that much since I was simply testing the camera. Later a legitimate rock fusion picker, who I admire quite a bit, loved it. So I saved it and posted.
When I screw up on a bandstand, I look at the musician with the most puzzled look on his face and tell him : \"That was fusion\"
They usually act as if they understand and leave it at that.
