I keep a few gel caps in my guitar case and just bite the gelatin to open them when I want to get to the oil. Much easier than using a bottle which can come open and make a mess.-Jason Credit to the late, great Jerry Glassel(Jackson, MI)for the vitamin E tip, it was a show saver he passed on to me when I injured my fingertips just before my senior college recital.

Finding faults is disappointing, but it also opens the door for improvement, and I'm happy about that. Actually, I should clarify that.

I had other takes, later in the day, that were mostly better but with some horrible gaff. Learning a piece to record in one day is not really an ideal circumstance, but I'm really glad to be doing this project. On the one hand, I am finding all kinds of faults with my playing, but on the other hand, I'll be making a dozen or more recordings of myself that I can actually enjoy listening to. It's giving me a confidence boost. Thanks Philip, that means an awful lot coming from you! I had other takes, later in the day, that were mostly better but with some horrible gaff.

I like the phrasing and the loose feel, especially in the ending. And your hands look super light and relaxed. Congratulations! Hey William, sounds really good!

Being able to perform more in the past year has given a new purpose to my guitar practice. Its really satisfying when someone comes up after a gig and says they appreciated the music. Even if I am just playing in a small cafe with all of 10 people and no one seems to be listening. Everyone has to start somewhere. I agree, I think music is made to be shared with others.

Trey Gunn (www.treygunn.com) posted a link to this on Facebook a while back. I think it illustrates your point well... You could notate these rhythms but it wouldn't even begin to convey the feel, and how the parts fit together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcqlOq1cjjc I agree.
