Theme from the Rick & Bob Report (Leo Kottke)

Finger-synching to the original recording on "My Father's Face." This was an experiment to see if I could play along with Kottke "note for note." The audio is *NOT* my playing, it's Kottke's original studio recording. The song is in standard tuning, capo fifth fret. UPDATE: According to YouTube, this video may be removed due to copyright issues (since the actual song is playing in the background).

So you have this on tablature? Where can I find it?

[guitarmusic1]

You can find the tab I used to learn this tune in Mark Hanson's book "The Music of Leo Kottke".  Available in most music stores or from Mark's website (google Accent on Music).

ThomasAWilliam:  I can't sight-read standard notation (not in real time anyway). I usually learn from tablature and use standard notation for timing, etc.

I don't get it. Are you doing the fingerstyle equivalent of lip-synching?

[guitarmusic1]

Yeah, you got it, a bit of an experiment. I wanted to see if I could synchronize my playing note-for-note to Kottke's original recording. The audio is purely Kottke. Think of it as karaoke for guitar. :)

It's kind of cool for someone to "see" how the piece was played. Thanks Bruce.

At some point I'll post my actual playing of this piece instead of this karaoke version ... I was too lazy to make a decent audio recording. :)

[ThomasAWilliam]

This is seriously awesome. I have a question for you Mr. Guitarmusic1: Can you read music?
