Hi Richard
I learn by ear as well, I take my ear off and rub it on the fret board lol lol, I also learn different styles and really gain allot from watching others play. When I first saw you on Youtube, said to myself, HERE IS CHET THE SECOND, phenominal playing and learned some of your awesome moves. I will be posting some fingerstyle hopefully soon, allot of projects going right now also collaborating with other artist. ANYWAYS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, SAME WITH YOUR WIFE VERY GOOD WORK.

That was "The Watkins Man" but I wish he wouldn't rip through it at breakneck speed.
