Thanks John,,,Yea I unfortunately lost about 1/3 of my right index finger Dec of '04 at work..I thought my fingerpicking days were done..I was watching Jerry Reed play on youtube and noticed on 1 song he didn't even use his index finger..I thought it was a weird technique,but it inspired me to basically relearn how to do it without my index finger..After playing that way for a while I developed something called "trigger finger"in my right middle and ring fingers...Long story short,,a few surgeries later,,rehab to basically make a fist and grip correctly and now all is well...So I appreciate just being able to still fingerpick again...I don't think I really had a choice..I just love writing music and playing ...I bet you make that 12 string sound beautiful..!!

Thank you again.I now know I will need to live another 50 or 60 years(playing my pawnshop 12 string )before I will ever feel confident enough to contribute a video. Your playing inspires me to want to live at least that long in order to appreciate what it takes to perform that well for all to see.Callouses and cramped hands,be gone!

Thanks Kevin....I have quite a few more i'm gonna upload on here eventually...I'm glad you enjoy them...so far,,LOL......Trust me man,,,no matter what level of playing your at you'll probably never be 100% satisfied..Just enjoy playing and don't compare yourself to anyone..It's all about the music....Perfection is unattainable so don't waste your time..Thanks again for the compliment...

That was great! This is the third song of yours that I have listened to. All of them are great. To tell you the truth....the names of your songs catch my attention! and watching you play reminds me how much more practice I need! :)

Thank you very much Adaora..I think the sound quality is alot better if you go to youtube and view it..Alot of the videos have the option to view it in"High Quality' on youtube.....So glad you enjoyed it.....
