@Clarky I’m still working away at this.

the rotation is very clear.. you can see it by rotational the movement of your little finger's knuckle
the bending is smooth and accurate.. the vibrato is clear and uniform..
nicely done matey....
you started heading in the right direction pretty soon after first started talking about this..
what does take time though is to become so familiar with something new that it becomes second nature..
so you never think "ah yes.. I have to do that rotation thing again"..
you simply do it without thinking as it is now a part of you..
you are playing wonderfully in that video..
you really should be feeling more than a little pleased with yourself..
Fluency in playing is a whole other issue isn’t it. That’s what makes a good player in my eyes, that ability for passages to flow seamlessly. I know the truth is mindless repetition but it’s the vision to get to those passages in the first place that evades me.
Here's a few you may enjoy- and they're long solos.
Moonshine by Kossoff (Free)- it's fucking amazing
Shine On You Crazy Diamond - DG obviously!
Bird of Paradise - Snowy White
*An Official Foo-Approved guitarist since Sept 2023.
Koss was something else though wasn’t he? His note choice was limited but it just doesn’t matter. There’s a couple of notes in the Come Together in the Morning solo that just floor me. Simple but evocative on a different level to almost all other playing I can think of.
DG’s finest moment in my opinion, sums up his playing. An absolute legend.
Playing like those boys is just a dream isn’t it.
it's a little like ice hockey..
most of us have to focus all of our attention on just trying to skate, hobble or in my case, just stand up without going ass over tit.. hockey players just focus on the game they're playing and skating and what they do with the stick is as normal and natural as walking and running..
bringing it back to guitar... bending, vibrato, your touch, timing, phrasing and all the many minute details...
you have to get them to the point where you don't think about them..
they're simply things that occur naturally and instinctively
