I use a classical guitar, and I have an almost impossible time doing that left thumb over the top of the neck thing. (But Chet did it all the time!)
When I took classical guitar lessons years back there was a teacher who kept a stick handy, and if a student's left thumb came over the top, he would whack it with the stick!
@daffydoug Chet my have had a thinner neck on his though. Still, everyone's hands are different. Some people have amazing flexibility with their thumb, others don't. I'm in the middle. I struggled with Caravan off and on for several years because of that first position, but now it feels comfortable!
I'm not a stickler about technique. If something works and doesn't hinder anything else, then do it!
Great picking and nice sound even though you are just using a webcam, I have noticed a lot of Youtube guitarists using thumbpicks, I bought 2 some time ago and they were very long and I just cant use them!! yours looks very small, do you file them down? 5***** for a great performance :-)
I use Fred Kelly thumbpicks, which are shorter than the standard Dunlops, but you can file yours down regardless. Experiment, there are no rules and thumbpicks are cheap!
Hallo Zach, wirklich KLASSE! Ich bin begeistert. Deine Version steht dem der von "Caravan - MICHEL PETRUCCIANI solo live" in fast ;-) nichts nach. OK auf dem Flügel hat man doch mehr Möglichkeiten. Mach weiter so.
Very entertaining! if you like Travis pickin' you should check out my friend Steve Rector. He's in the Merle Travis Hall of Fame in Muhlenburg County, Kentucky. I jammed some with Steve when we were teens, but he was a lot better than me!
This is amazing! :D
Also im curious if you have a tabbed version of this song (or if its tabbe out somewhere else) since i wantto play it for my HSC :)

Incredible! Is this the opposite of 'slow motion'? ;)

I usually start this one way too fast, so this time it's just 'medium-motion'. :^)
