Thanks Kip! Yeah, this one is really a bender on the right hand, just gotta keep at it low and slow and build it up! And I saw them play with Aoife O'Donovan in Berkeley, CA and it was one of the greatest shows I've seen in a while.
Hey Chris, thank you so much for this lesson, it really lays out what Tony does in a easily understandable way. There are quite a few mistakes in my video but I'm really proud of the work that got me to this point. What could I focus on going forward to make the solo more smooth and get the rhythm to be a bit punchier?
Also, love your work with Julian Lage. If you ever did a lesson on Rygar I would be eternally grateful. Thanks for all your hard work and beautiful music.
Cool picking ... I'm still having post traumatic stress symptoms from trying this way to early in my evolution. I agree completly about Chris and Julian ... so lucky to have seen them here when they passed through earlier this year.

Hi Ian, you sound really good! I think you just need to keep playing it to get it smoother and punchier. Your second time playing the melody was both smooth and punchy, which means you not only do you know how to do it - you can already do it. Sometimes, when I was working on this I would just push the tempo beyond where I knew I could be in control and then try to have it feel either relaxed, or attain the punchy rhythm. Usually when one would come into focus the other would quickly follow. You're on the path. Keep at it!
Sounds good Ian. The only thing I noticed is your left wrist. If you go up and look at Chris play his wrist is straight while he plays the tune. It might be because you are sitting down and you're dropping your elbow too much. Try standing up and see where your arms and hands sit on the guitar, could be a posture thing when your sitting. Or try dropping the guitar neck so it is parallel to the floor. I only mention this because it could cause tension in your forearm moving forward. Keep pickin buddy!!!
Thanks Chris, really appreciate the feedback! I'll give your advice a go and hopefully get to where I need to be. :-D
