[Gauraonline]

Mark , you are a master. You remind me of Lenny breau, from my hometown. Is it too late at 55 to pick up guitar again after being a Hare Krishna monk for 35 yrs ? I feel arthritic pain where my thumbs join my hands holding the chords down. Do you ever have pain in your hands ? Maybe my action is still too high, or maybe need a nother easier to play guitar than the Canadian made Normand Im using

[DrTowns1]

Your never too old to learn to play. Just keep at it.

[thelinearpractiseday]

Thanks for the nice compliment.

A lower action certainly helps if your doing alot of bar chords.I've had hand problems in the past.Try not to overplay!

Mark

[thelinearpractiseday]

[jemeldeb]

So smooth, beautiful playing Mark. Do you perform live? I am a member of the Toronto fingerstyle guitar association, and we host a Chet Atkins tribute every year(the next one to be annouced soon.. 2008) Would you be interested in coming and paying a little tribute to the king of fingerstyle guitar?

[cettyboy]

Sounds like a good time.

Mark

[jemeldeb]

Hi Mark I will let you know about the where and when (Chet tribute) as soon as I get the info.

[quantumblues]

wow...i fingerstyle but that is just terrific..

[jedmarum]

[truckersteven]

Hey Mark, nice playin'. It's me, Steve Gregory now living in Toronto for the past 12 yrs. Say hi to your family for me!!

[cettyboy]

Hi Steve

Great to hear from you!

Mark

[invertedness]

its not fingerstyle if you have a thumbpick. At the canadian guitar festival they don't allow that.

[cettyboy]

I wouldn't know how to respond to such a post.

Do thumbpicks negate fingerstyle?

Would it sound better without a thumbpick?

You should ask the CGF crowd.I wonder if they ever asked Lenny Breau to play.Too much plastic on the thumb.

Mark Hill

[jimbojimbojimbojimbo]

hey mark who are you favorite guitarist? just name a couple

[cettyboy]

Chet Atkins,Paul Yandell,Lenny Breau are a few.

Thanks,

Mark

[cettyboy]

One guy I think every musician should check out is a guitarist called Michael Coppola.

Cutting edge.

Mark Hill

[BATCH420]

WOW

[tighttritenight]

[cettyboy]

You'll get there.

Mark Hill

[NKAccVJ]

I made a PowerTab of this tune and posted it at Countrytabs. (I'll take it down if the composer objects but it's a good one.)

[smp1225]

Great Job. I see/hear some Jerry Reed influence. Amazing Playing!!!!

[cettyboy]

I've listened to alot of Jerry Reed over the years.One of the best.

Mark
