It's not really a tricky song at all to play.. easy chords, easy riffs etc.. Except I was for some reason having a lot of trouble in the faster slides at parts of the song... Frustrated with myself, I was about to put the guitar down.. then I stopped took a breath and thought to myself: "I can do this - I've played other things the same or faster, what's wrong with me?" Which made me relax, my hands relaxed, and I suddenly found I was playing smoother, and cleaner .. So it seems attitude is very important..? (btw. on a side note, any tips on getting a nicer slide? (my fingers seem to "stick" to the strings if I slide too much - or too quick.. like my hand is there and my fingers almost get left behind from friction ) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

And then there's several moods that can be applied on a attitude as well, sad, slow, happy, aggresive etc. The ultimate would be to in-cooperate these emotions in different phrases that travels between moods and feeling. This sounds a little far out, or????? //Staffay You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
