Last summer, I wrote that I was learning fingerpicking on the guitar using DVDs from Homespun Tapes. I've made a small recording of me playing "Skip to My Lou", a very simple song that sounds pretty interesting with the steady alternating bass beat from my thumb. This is the first song off that DVD set.

Travis picking, syncopated rhythm or whatever it's called, this is the guitar playing style I like alot. Thanks for the sample. Sounds awesome! Feel free to throw in some vocals next time, eh :-)
ReplyDeleteI will have to try the singing thing, but my microphone is kind of lame. It barely does justice to the guitar! And a more pressing excuse: it's difficult to sing and play at the same time. It's all about timing, and it's hard to keep the rhythm and sing along.
