This is a great Darol Anger tune that he wrote back in 1977. Been trying to learn it, this is where I am at with it so far:

@Ferret  - Hah. I hope you do! I have been playing for a long time (I started when I was 4 stopped when I was 16, started again when I was 28 and now I'm 40, that's what 24years). A good portion of that time was just playing not "practicing". These days I'm really working on practicing, not just playing. Learning to play in keys that aren't as easy (B, Bb, F, E), working on stylizing my playing, etc. I think my biggest motivation is playing with people that are better than I am. So I really want to work hard and play at their level. I always say that the three pillars of playing and improving are:

* practicing

* playing with others

* performing

Each of those things builds on each other and motivates you.

That was awesome, @fiddlinsteudel.

Great performance from you as usual. I really enjoy it.

That turkey would be too wild for me to ride, lol.

Thank you for sharing.

Clap clap clap! 

 

Opportunity is often missed because it wears suspenders and looks like hard work.
