I was already falling asleep playing guitar, but never actually got it on cam. I was thinking (while half asleep and half awake) that I should get this on cam somehow. What I did for this video was I carefully started the camera as to not wake myself up. Then I continued playing. This video is for real...as the video progresses, I'm actually drifting asleep. I've never gone completely asleep before, but close. I didn't know if it would actually work, but it did. I had just started the camera when the video starts. I was sleepy. Again, this was not staged. And to top it off, I got a text which broke me from my "sleep". I remember that right before the text I was just about to go completely out of it...meaning I would've stopped playing the guitar...and relaxed. I've played "Amazing Grace" so many times that my fingers were just doing their stuff from memory and I didn't have to think about it. I was aware of what I was playing, though. It's a weird feeling. It almost feels like you are playing in your sleep! It's like your brain executes the commands to play the notes, but you are going to sleep at the same time. Weird but relaxing feeling. Have you ever done this? If so, try to video it if you can. Enjoy the video! And sweet dreams!! (video is only about a minute long) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

My fingers stop when I pass out, but I've woken up still holding my guitar. Practice! Todd You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
