Put this video on U Tube over the weekend. Not the greatest performance, but then, I'm not Chet or Tommy!
Played on my CGP through a Phil Jones Briefcase Amp.

Re: Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Mike, that was really nice! I see that you don't use a thumb-pick. Your harmonics were very articulate and I know how hard they are to get right. You've inspired me to work on a version of this!
thanks!
thanks!

Re: Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Thanks for the comments. I think I play it a lot better on a gig though. I'm not so keen on playing in front of a camera as I tend to make too may mistakes, resulting in a lot of takes.
I actually do use a thumbpick, but it's a very petite one; a Fred Kelly Speedpick. It's taken me quite a few weeks to get used to it, but I won't be going back to using the big picks anymore

Re: Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Hey Mike,
Real nice job on that. The harmonics on that song are tough. I had to learn it for a wedding, but I didn't do the harmonics. I might have been able to work them out if I'd had another year or so in advance. Again, very nice work!
