I missed one crucial rule for RCMG YouTube debuts - it's supposed to

mercilessly butchering a perfectly inoffensive barcarole. I also found
the free program "Windows Movie Maker" already installed on my PC, so
you no longer have to suffer with the big red words "unregistered
version" obscuring my rugged good looks!

I got lots of good advice from my last post, and I welcome all
comments on and criticism of my technique (or lack thereof),
interpretation (or lack thereof), hair, couture, decor, etc. Have at
it, if you will.

I must be going nuts - now you got this Doogie Howser thing going on -
sorry about that! I have not played this in a while and hearing you play
reminds me of how great this piece is. It's like a perfect little
journey. In this case, try concentrating on your own breathing and not
on your playing - that's just my nutty suggestion. Feel free to dismiss
this idea!



P.S. I had a lesson with the guy that Guitar Solo recommended. He said
my free stroke is fine and that I shouldn't listen to strange men on
the internets. Probably wise worlds, but I am going to remain open to
the possibility that he's wrong. Time allowing, I'll see if I can get
an appointment with Dr. Spross, and hear his diagnosis and
prescription.

Was this guy's name Mark? If so, he may have been my guitar buddy in
high school. He's great - listen to what he has to say especially about
the strange men on the Internet part!

I tried the breathing idea briefly -it's late to be playing guitar
here... very awkward at first; obviously the temptation is to match
the tempo to breath or vice-versa, but I'm pretty sure that's not the
idea.

I wondered what you meant by the neurological aspects of playing the
guitar...

The teacher is not Mark.
