    I’ve been playing for over 15 years and I’ve never had trouble playing a song near perfectly when given enough time and practice, but it feels like I’ll never be able to play this song without error. Some days I’m almost perfect, some days I mess up constantly.

      It’s a very different approach to pickin - Tony was unique that way // you would need to bust open the style completely- learnin an intro is but a scrape of ice off the iceberg when it comes to this stuff - it’s not enough

    If my American ears can tell, I sense an accent perhaps Northern Ireland? I'm finding pickers from Italy, France, England... taking Americana tunes and really mastering them. I have a few Irish tunes I try to play flatpick style... Sally Gardens and Si Beag Si Mor I got off a David Bromberg record. I guess about 50% or more of the fiddle tunes we play in Bluegrass originated in Ireland.

    This is great Chris ,I had been taking a similar approach to CSB patching in licks from the homespun version, live version and even some Chris Eldridge licks. I really got good at playing this tune to tempo while maintaining clarity and note quality after studying your videos. So thanks again! If I may request, could you do a lesson sometime speaking to Tony's rhythm playing through the verse and chorus because no one is spending any time on the right way to do it!! Thanks Chris!!

    Wow! Thank you for this, Chris! It's a testimony, not only to Mr. Rice's prowess, but your gift of teaching it!! Quick question, do you have any vids currently, or coming up on the basics of cross picking? I've seen a number of examples and lessons, but I've been hybrid and economy picking for so long that I get lost in the consistent down / up motion of the pick. Thought I'd ask you if you had any vids or pointers. You seem to have a very easy way with this fine guitar. Cheers!!

    Excellent job, Chris! Your version is one of the closest if not the closest to Tony's Instructional version of Church Street Blues I've heard. Could you possibly do an analysis and cover of Tony's rendition of Wayfaring Stranger in C Minor like you gave a sample of at the end of this video?

  • @musik102
    @musik102 Рік тому +1

    It's funny using the word "hybrid" because in guitar lingo it has come to mean a mixture of flat picking and finger picking ( think Albert Lee) . Interestingly, Tony has used a blend of fingers and plectrum in some of his tunes.

    Hi Chris, I really appreciate your version as it does tidy up some of those tricky bits and make more sense timing-wise with the 3/4 bars rather than the way lots of people write it out all in 4/4. I'd be very interested to understand how you make those kind of rhythmic interpretations - however, my main question is that in bar 18 you take the time to show pick stroke direction, but your choice of strokes results in a double down stroke on the A string. This felt a bit clunky (and hard for me to do) and watching Tony play the intimate version I suspect he actually sweeps up on the D to A string and then down for beat 1 of the next bar. What do you think? You can see what I mean here? ua-cam.com/video/9JFgC3Ub10E/v-deo.htmlsi=HWl_y5WwDAd-GKSL&t=78 - it feels more natural to me to just start the run on a down stroke and alternate which gets you to a down stroke in the right place but as we're looking at Tony I just thought it would interesting to get your take. So much thanks for all your work! It's incredible.
