I missed one crucial rule for RCMG YouTube debuts - it's supposed to
be a Barrios piece. In this follow-up effort, I rectify that error by
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.

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.

Hey Bill,
I was able to watch your video. Very nice playing.
Very musical.

I'm not sure what the question would be regarding
your freestroke. You appear to be doing it the
"modern way" and I see no problem with the stroke
per se. I do question everyone who plays with their
arm balanced on the outer edge or across the side
of the guitar and turn their right hand upward to
place their fingers upon the string. I personally
think that such a position is a calamity in waiting,
but then what do I know? There are tens of thousands
of people playing beautifully that way.

So I would just play on.
Of course if you want to discuss this in more detail
and make a visit, you are welcome.
