OK...at some point over the last few days I appear to have had that EUREKA moment, everything just kinda fell into place...although not entirely steady at the moment but something pretty major has happened here for sure...Clumbsy Fingers one minute and then wow....I couldn't believe it, I didn't' know whether to laugh or cry...its both freaky and amazing at the same time.. totally took me by suprise..I sorta felt it coming through and I kept working and working and now it almost feels natural...Since those last vids, and all the help I received from you guys it really has made all the difference...1-3 hours practice per day is really cutting it..my only regret is I wish I'd stuck at it years ago..where would I be now! Anyhow I have learnt a tune or two (SLOW)..Go and tell Aunt Rhody the old grey goose is dead, Bile em Cabbage Down & Banjo in the Hollow (with pull off)...I'm well pleased with myself...This is wierd I tell ya man.....amazing

	BigC says: 12/6/2014 2:10:13 AM Yeah Andy I'm putting in the hours and I'm also thinking about a tune when I'm not at the instrument....I know in my head what needs to be done to knock out a tune..just getting it to the fingers is a challenge...hahahaha
