Here's thirty-four seconds you'll never get back!

(Almost) Live, from the driver's seat of MCI motorcoach #2006 (sounds better than 'bus') in the west parking lot of T. Riggs high school in beautiful Pierre, South Dakota...

I stumbled across this little ditty while trying to learn Alice's Restaurant...the right way, but wandered off on a musically related tangent, which often happens....I guess.

 

[trev333]

that was my first thought... Alice's restaurant...

See, I dun tol you, you'd be back driving that big old buss, and would be able to afford that bike!

I’m happy to have spent the time watching that. I admire the string-to-string timbral evenness and the picking rolls you are doing. You make it look easy.

Ah yes, beautiful Peer. Yeah, that’s Peer. Because America.

It's strange to hear a dissection of what I'm doing by a listener, mostly because I have almost no conscious awareness of what I'm technically doing while I'm doing it.

Well, you seem like you have the picking-hand agility of a pedal-steeler. Looks like a very light and even touch on the strings. I am a flatpick-and-two-fingers hamfister, so your approach is fun and interesting to watch and hear.

34 seconds of joy. Definitely not time wasted. Thanks for posting

Nice John!

please post videos of you playing longer...
on the bus or off the bus,
on a cat or off a gnat!

An even shorter, twenty-four second resonator 'noodle', from maybe four years ago.

I spent my whole allowance on this thing a while back, so I suppose I should try to play it once in a while...
