See lengthy notes for song 01. This is from my heart... I hope you like it.
I do a reverse bar slant at fret 8, slanting the rear of the bar up to fret 10, while keeping the tip of the bar on fret 8. It's a great sound and technique that few players use. You simply pick strings 4,5 and 6 open at fret 8, then do a reverse slant so that the rear of the bar is on fret 10, the center of the bar is on the 9th fret (string 5), and the front of the bar is on string 5 on the 8th fret. Then slide back down. Jimmy Day used this awesome bar slant quite a bit.
I look tired in this series of videos from today because my neck is really hurting. The pain and muscle tension in my neck just drain my batteries daily. I try to hide it but cannot all the time. People oftentimes think I'm upset by looking at my wearied face... not at all, I'm just in a lot of physical neck pain. I don't complain... it's a reason, not an excuse. I make these videos to share my heart with others. I hope in some small way that my music touches your heart.
