Excellent lesson! I know it, but I wish you were around when I first figured it out, 'cause it took me twice as long back in the day! Y' know I like the way it's layered and put together. The bad thing about it all is the motorcycle accident I was in (1993) that caused me to lose speed and flexability in my fingering hand (ripped tendons). The good thing is in spite of it all, I discovered I can still play!

Thanks Robert...cool stuff as usual. I'm not typically this dense but it seems like the tab you provided isn't *exactly* like  it's presented on the video.  In the video I believe your first note is picked on the 12th fret followed by a hammer-on the 15th of the low E. However, the tab starts on the 15th of the low E.  Normally this wouldn't be a big deal but my timing is whacky because of what I hear in the video verses what I read in the tab. How do I adjust?

Also, for future reference,  the transition from *up* to *down* (i.e. ascending in pitch to descending in pitch) would be nice to see in the video as that stuff always throws me off for some reason. Although maybe if I can fix my timing issue (above) then the transition will come easier.

As always, I really appreciate the information you provide on your site.  Thanks again.

James

I see I missed those notes in the beginning... will fix the tab and upload again.

Thanks for the feedback.
