Really sweet lesson Muris, well played and very musical - need to dust off my nylon stringer, it deserves a little more attention than it gets

GuitarDude: It's bad to split electric a lot from acoustic,guitar is guitar after all.
nrpstreetballa: I'll do my best and make more lessons like this,maybe in some different styles but still on acoustic

That was a neat piece Muris - inspired me to dust off the ol' acoustic - thanks  .
Speaking of Mr. Di Meola I was watching a band on YouTube last week playing one of his tunes from the 'Casino' album and it was brilliant - perfect take from the band.
Their name doesn't seem to be listed - a Greek band they are. Love that album do you know it? Anyway if you do, you might like to have a listen here and see what you think ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zvey0zt5PM

great lesson. This site has really improved by timing. I hate using a metrome, but I still want to improve my timing. So what I do is I learn all the solos on this site and use the backing tracks to improve my timing. I don't really have anybody to play with so this works out great!

Thanks guys!
Dashooter:that's right thing to do,work out over backing tracks to improve your timing. Latter on,you are not going to have problems joining the band or som. But still try some stuff with metronome,just to get used to it. Have fun!

Thank mygeetar,have a nice time with it until you get you electric!
Dash,you're probably thinking of two chords,
C maj 7/9 and A min 7/9.
Yes,those grips might me tricky for the first time but they are great stuff for your left hand,stretching and nice chords to play as well.
It will increase your stamina too.
Don't give up

Great lesson however for the newbies out there a brief explanation of natural harmonics and the use of the P.I.M.A picking technique would be useful.
Keep up the good work hope there is more to come!!

Hi Muris, I have been practicing this lesson which to be honest is a bit of a stretch for me but..... I am making progress.
Where can I get more of this sort of music?
Do you have any more plans to put some more lessons of this sort on GMC?
Oh an finally... What make and modal of guitar are you using in the lesson clips. It sounds great and looks good too. Does it have internal pick ups?
Lots of questions... apologies if it fels like a grilling.

No problem at all,glad you like it!! The guitar in this lesson is Epiphone Chet Atkins model and it has pickup inside the bridge. About music of this sort...try Tony Emmanuel(tho he's a more complex player) or Chet Atkins in a first place. And yeah,I'll do my best to make more of these lessons in a future. Cheers!!

Muris this is a gorgeous song, I can play it and I love it. I practise speed riffs - then I play this - then I practise speed riffs some more - then I play this again  Really nice backing too, very relaxing. Your technique is totally cool, please write some more fingerpicking tunes for us!!
