Some finger pickin Blues

Slacker G

This is an old Blues tune revamped. I was warming up and trying some new chops so I turned on the camera. Some of the chops didn't exactly work out. My bad. But I guess that was the reason I recorded it in the first place.

After I decide what I want in it, I'll record it for real.

Partch,

Thank you. I am thinking about making a teaching video for anyone who would like to add finger picking to their bag of tricks.

The way I learned to finger pick is uncomplicated, and the method I used to teach myself is rather easy. I'm just looking for a camcorder that will suffice.

Right now I am using a low end Canon camera in video mode. But it has a flip screen so I can monitor and make sure the picking hand and the chording hand are always in clear view for those who want to steal any licks. 8)

Slacker,
Nice job there. I so love the finger pick style.
Thanks for sharing.

Partch,
Until Slacker has a chance to put his video together, this might give you something to work with.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Sorry about the bump, but I thought I had better reply before this gets too far down the line.

Thank you for the compliment. That is my own version with boo koo parts that never were in the song as written.

If you Google Windy & Warm, you can find videos by Chet Atkins, Tommy Emanuel ,John D Laudermilk, and many others doing something different that what I do.

That is, if you would want another version of it. After I posted it I found John. Chet, and Tommy playing that song, along with a lot of other musicians playing it on You Tube.

I have always admired someone who can finger pick like that. I would try that, but you would have to re-name the song pink,plank,plunk.

Nice!!!!!
