It isn't the 'widdles' at the end that impressed me, although it was nice 'widdling' :D
It was the overall feel of the whole track that I liked. Very accomplished indeed.
Thanks man, well I guess 18 years of playing (with a few years of not playing in between) should be good for something.
But in fact, I tried this song the first time a few months back when _tom_ posted it and I had the same feeling, damn, he nails it and I don't >lol<
Sometimes these things just ripe, you try a bit, fail, leave it, try again a few weeks later, and then suddenly after weeks not trying at all, it's there.
I think psychologists call it "learning by not practising" or sth, you practise and fail and then leave your brain some time to make the right synaptical connections and suddenly - bang - there it is.
Had the same with the Immigrant Song riff - I never got that rhythm tight and feel fluid, and I haven't tried for a few months but all of a sudden it was there. And in a way that I think it will stay. Strange thing - if only I could make that more controlleable.
