Cliffs of Dover - Paul Carson

One of my favorite songs to play. I quit trying for a note-for-note version some time ago, as it just got me frustrated, and went for more enjoyment. Be sure to watch me completely miss my double-stop on the last chorus! Awesomely funny (yet sad). There are a lot of things I'd like to have done better, but there are only so many hrs in my day, so I'm uploading. I might try for a less mistake-filled version later. In the meantime, enjoy the solo, and for you guitar players, enjoy the laughs.

Man I wish I had stuck with it thru the grunge era! You've obviously stuck with it! Great Playing! I useually just make the solo my own or try to come close? lol

[fretworx]

@bartramtab Thx!!! And I know what you mean... when I've played it live I always try to get it close, and it's pretty much anywhere from victory to hilarious fail.

wow that was amazing bro' thats not an easy song to do... u did so good.. i like your playing style. r u in any band? what's your band's name? keep rocking !!!

[fretworx]

@rattlewrist Coming from a player like you, that means a lot!! Thanks! And no, nothing serious band-wise right now. I play mostly @ church, and w/a funk/dance band for special occasions. I miss writing in a band, tho... that's truly the best

sounds good man, eric johnson would be jealous!

[fretworx]

@whitehaven17 - THANKS, man! You are wayyy too kind! :-) Made my day hearing that, though...

[FaWkInGsErIoUs]

your playing and effect are probably the best ive seen on youtube so far.

[whitehaven17]

way too kind? not only does it sound great, but you have video that can keep up with the movement, i just have picture stills with crappy recording...i think you're doin fine

[whitehaven17]

nicely done, eric johnson would be jealous

Hey there, Carson clan! It's Shera from NJ, hope all's well. Paul, you had gotten back to me at some point about the Manfred Mann "Blinded By the Light" guitar solo/album version...thank you, and sorry it's taken me a while; this Money Pit has swallowed me, glubglub...I would LOVE to learn the solo if you feel like noodling around with it; dog food for YOUR Money Pit is fine by me! Hey, speaking of the Pit, I've started posting videos of my half-@rsed DIY projects if you'd like to get a laugh!
