This is sloppy, noisy, and full of beginner errors, but I felt I needed to take the plunge...

I'll get better - I promise!

Christopher, you are like a new chick out of the
nest. There is a struggle going on there.
Keep moving towards that timbre and touch that
defines your Jazz Guitar playing. It will happen!

I look forward to hearing more from you later on.

How many strings and how are you tuned?

Potential Galore!!

Roy

Yeah, like I said, beginner stuff... I practice a lot, so it should improve. I've playing seriously for about 9 months, so I have hope for the future.

I play a U-12, B6 MSA. I have a new instrument that should be done soon, a U-12 Bb6 MSA.

Thanks for listening!

I've been encouraging Christopher to post two other tunes he sent me to check out.
What's so interesting to me is that by combining a study of string order and what the pedals do, with his exisitng Jazz compositional knowledge, it seems all thats left for Christopher to become a great Jazz Steel Player is to get a feel for the mechanics of tuning and right/left hand technique, which is well under way.
Very Cool!
