giorgio plays VASELINE MACHINE GUN (kottke)

http://borgosanomanagement.wordpress.com/2011/04/23/giorgio-mazzone/
all fingerpickers, 12 stringers and kottke fans know this tune, i'll add i never had a tab of this and just learnt it by trying, once i 'd sort out the right tuning, many slight differences,i have much lighter touch than the master,my ring finger,often adds somehing.No fingerpicks this time, still to my surprise most of the lovely vintage clicking groove so peculiar of the tune is there ...

I have got to hand it to you my friend,I think you did the song proud! Funny, at the beginning, it looked like you were fooling around,not serious, but boy, you sure made up for that presumption pretty quick! Always been one of my favourite Leo songs, now I'm tuning my 12-string down to open G? and going to learn this, what an inspiration you are! Keep it up!

the intro is almost as the orignal from kottke's 1968 "6n12"

i hardly ever remembr it tho so when giggin' i skip it

U see, with solid basic tech and having learned a tune well speed shouldn't be a "problem" I never plan to speedup, just letting it go and enjoying the effect.From the tech p.o.w. This tune is mostly about rhythm, groovy rhythm ,and it was so exciting in the 70's to listen to it.Maybe  it could b played even faster, even much faster.But would it still retain its quality?I like its impact Then giggin' you "feel" the audience, the moment and if pushing the pedal or not... :)
