Tim and his 14 year old son performing Spain. Tim is playing a Batson and Myles is playing an eighty year old French violin. We just turned on the camera and went for it. Bed head and all!

But I'd also like to mention, in the unison line, the last 16th note of the 3rd bar of the phrase (@ 28 seconds) is not what Chick wrote. :^)

I'll try to bring some guitarists from North Central University when I catch your gig. You're a monster, Tim! Way to go, Myles!

Thanks! Regarding the wrong notes: You'll find that a lot in the covers I play. See ya in Mn..

are you using a thumbpick at all?

[timthompsonguitar]

Yes, I am using a thumb pick. I do a combination of using my fingers and the thumb pick. Thanks!

Tim

Alot of videos I watch on youtube, I shut off and switch to another 1/2 way thru. THIS ONE, I HAD to see/hear the ending. Are you kidding? Seriously good, and beyond.

Tim, really great, and I still enjoy the CD you gave me at NAMM. What a dream - team. You deserve a huge break, and the day is near.  May God bless you and Myles in your travels and ministry.

I'll see you in southern Oregon (soon). I'll bring a lot of friends to the gig.
