Rod finger picking and singing Simple Man

[Rod58]

@sairfingers

thumb should be working in front of the fingers to avoid finger ‘clash’

Great feedback, aware of the thumb forward I think two things are in play; one is the angle of the camera May accentuate the thumb being less forward the other is i do have a shorty thumb so i took took a video with camera closer to the same level as my hand to really see. For the lead part it’s definitely at or behind the fingers but the picking it seems like i extend just barely ahead of the fingers. I have tried to get more forward but that causes me to rotate my hand (which i may need to do) but it really messes me up.

You are welcome and thanks for the kind words!

@Socio

That was well played and sung especially if your considering that a work in progress.

Thank you, the speed and the thumb are actually part that in progress part .

@TheMadman_tobyjenner

Thought you did pretty well on this laid back version but I suspect you will pushing the tempo up to the originals pace in time.

Thanks but as one of our community said in a response from you

@CT

It’s a fool’s errand to try and play a carbon copy cover of a well known song.

Many thanks for the encouragement all!.. Rod
