Very nice, Andrew! I enjoyed watching your technique. I do it a little differently in places but I'm sure we each came up with something that works for us and I still like watching others to see if there might be a "better way".

Thanks Roger and Rande!
Rande - there were certain licks in there that I tried about three different ways (same notes different positions) and each way had its tradeoffs. I even swapped methods after I had it practiced up a different way. It might depend on the person and even their mood as to which way is easier.

Nice Andrew, Rande had the same comment as me in that I play it different in places but it's what works for you that matters.

I just always aim to play a song as efficiently as possible. If it looks like too much work, then it may be able to be improved upon.

Great video and you played great. Working out a Jerry Reid song takes some doing and you did it. Take care. Ray
