Janice and Bud...

Not that i'm that great of a picker, but Di has to pry me out of the studio all the time. I'm always working on a new song, as far the music and arrangement. Di and I write the lyric together most often. In addition to music, I also write novels. Five written so far and three under way!

So, between the music and the books, I think Di considers herself a pseudo-widow! I'm almost 67 years old and still practice 1 - 3 hours every day, except when life calls me away for other requirements. I don't do scales or anything of the sort...just practice new licks, chords and arrangements. Just last week I learned three new chords and, for the most part, how to effectively use them. I learn at least 1 or 2 new chords every week or two. But, all of that will be for naught in the near future as the Focal Dystonia is progressing at a fairly rapid rate. I expect to be using BIAB for most my lead guitar work within a 15 - 18 months. Even typing is a real challenge because of the stiffness and inward bent (curling) of my fingers. But, dang it, I'll be learning until it simply isn't possible any more. I'm planning on doing a video of a song or two (instrumentals) sometime this spring.

Anyway, thank you so much for your kindness!!!

Di says "Hi!" to everyone...

Al

Al, I have a couple of years on you and have tremendous sympathy for your physical issue. Way, way beyond music Janice and I love hiking, mountain biking and kayaking - activities that serious issues with my neck and back are threatening......we just have to keep forging ahead.
As I suspect with you and yours all I have to do is look at Janice and realize that I won life's lotto with her and that trumps everything.

Janice & Bud...

Thanks for the comeback. Actually, I deal with it pretty good. Disappointing/ yeah, but, as you said, there's a big old world out there that doesn't involve music. Our physical activities are limited as Di is significantly disabled. She's had more surgeries than you could count with a good calculator.

For years, she was severely diabetic. She has advanced arthritis and Fibromyalgia. Also, many years ago, her former husband stomped on her and broke several vertebrae and damaged one hip socket. She is in constant pain and has to be very careful how she bends, stoops, etc. She had bariatric surgery about 15 months ago and she is no longer diabetic...woohoo! She was slightly overweight but not much. The surgery was more for the diabetes than the few extra pounds.

A normal blood sugar range is 80 - 120. After 7 insulin shots and eating a stringent diet, her blood sugar, every evening, used to constantly read 400 - 600. Those are coma levels. We almost lost her two years when she went into a diabetic coma. Fortunately, she survived. She also had a stroke in 2008...a brain bleed. She had regained about 80% of her function.

I am very lucky and blessed. At nearly 67, I don't have a chronic pain anywhere, have never taken a chronic medication in my life. The only time I've been in the hospital, other than to run tests, was when I got shot up pretty good in Vietnam. My family doctor told me last year after a physical I was nearly as healthy as a 45 year-old man. I thank God for that.

Di and I have both lost children at an early age. Her son was killed in a car accident in 2001. He was 33 years old. My oldest son was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1985. He was 18. So, we appreciate every year we get. We don't complain about getting old!

Wishing both of you the very best...

Al & Di

Al, Wow that is outstanding guitar work. Way to go. Mix sounds excellent. I really liked the melody line. The tone fits the song. This started off my week on the right foot. BTW The doctor says I have the body of a 20 yr old-----woman that is. Tom

Very nice playing.

I would have turned up the guitar a few db since it is a "guitar song" after all..... stand up in that spotlight. Yeah, that's my main nit on this one. The guitar was not loud enough.

A few issues here and there where the backing tracks are not totally in the groove with what you're doing on the guitar but other then that...excellent job...

Kudo's on practicing a few hours each day..... something that I need to do actually..... but finding the time.....

And learning 3 new chords this week.... very sweet. I used to have a book that sported over 5000 chords for guitar. I tried to learn new ones from that book..... it was so cool, because often there were several pages of the same chord played in dozens of different finger positions and neck positions..... wow.... but seriously, what guitarist actually NEEDS to know 24 different ways to play a Gmaj7 chord..... (don't answer that.... it's rhetorical)

Hearing this tune makes me chomp at the bit to simply play a guitar song again..... it's therapeutic. It's been a while since I played guitar just to stretch out a bit. Most of what I have been doing in recent years has been tightly controlled playing.

Hi Al,

Yeh, I heard the little train wreck at 0:46 - 0:49 and the bass does something fairly weird at 0:07 - 0:08. RealTracks will put out some strange stuff sometimes.

But, those blazing licks at 1:21 - 1:29 - whoa! They are the highlight of a most impressive solo. You can really preach on that thang, brother.

Hey Hacker...

Thanks for the nice comments...sure do appreciate them. And yeah, I had one of those books back in the late 60's. I try to learn 2 - 4 positions for each chord. Some chords, though...one position is enough of a challenge. The 13thb9 is a good example of that. If I can't work it in the only position I know for it, I go to a 7thb9 instead. I lose the 6 note there but I can live with it. The main reason I try to learn new chords is because I play a lot of Jazz and comping a jazz piece requires it.

I doubt it's the backing tracks being off...more likely me! The fingers aren't what they used to be.

I still enjoy composing music and doing vocals for non-sing, non-performing lyricists. I do quite a bit of that. It makes me work harder as well as sometimes send me in a direction I've not been before.

Thanks again! Best to ya...

Al

Good Evening, Dean...

Thank ya, kind sir, for those kind remarks! And yeah, that bass there seems to have it's own mind. but I liked the rest of the track so much I didn't want to change any of it, so I live with those couple of seconds!

Those licks at 1:21 - 1:29 are little more than shredding at a slower tempo...not nearly as hard as it sounds. One thing I do that I don't hear a lot of other lead guitarists do is pluck two, sometimes, three strings rather than one note. That's particularly effective when doing hammer-downs and pull-offs. That fills out the part and makes it sound like I'm doing a lot more than I really am. It's paid me very well over the years!

Thanks again, my friend. You and Hacker ain't no slouches, either! Some sweet stuff come from both of you.

Have a great night...

Al

Al,

Excellent guitar work,you made me get my old Les outa the case and practice a bit more than I usually do.

And reading your medical history made me feel ashamed for my moaning blush

Man! you sure show the hurt on that tune and at the same time it transmitted (to me anyway)like a feeling of a soft protest for something. Well done.

Hi! And thanks for the listen. I truly appreciate the kind things you had to say about this one.. Not really a protest, just an attempt to portray, musically, the hurt and pain of losing at love. Been there...done that! But I am very happily married at this point in my life...not hurt or pain!

Thanks again...

Al

Hey Alyn,

I see I missed replying to you a little earlier. Sorry! That damned old age will get ya every time! Thanks for you kindness. I don't dwell too much on the physical stuff. It is what it is. I've had nearly 50 years of making a living on those 6 strings...can't complain about it at this point! What one hand takes away from you, you replace with something else in the other hand. As I mentioned earlier to someone, I also write novels. When the music playing is no longer possible, I always have my novels to write. Also, I have BIAB it sit in for me. I can live with all that! best to you,

Alan
