Hey Bobert,..and anyone else whom this may concern,

If you don't read or write music, let recording be your pen and paper...especially when playing with two guitarists. Sometimes, in spontaneity, you come off with some REALLY cool shit, but have no idea, just what the hell you did!...just play it back, and pick up from the last clam(mistake), and learn it by ear, from there! That goes for anyone else playing, too...sometimes you get a blend of strings and tones, that just comes off great. Its not just a one time thing..YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN!...and by the way, in case you've noticed, people will buy a whole album, for maybe one or two songs in it...and in those one or two songs, there might be just several seconds of great tones, that caught your ear!!! IT IS WORTH THE EFFORT!!!! Then after that, as my friend Mairead says, when asked, "How do you do all that, and play like you do?" She replies, so calmly, and matter of factly, " Practice, Practice, PRACTICE!"

With much practice......

However.....she knows how to read music...(actually she has three Masters and a PhD. in it)...but nonetheless, Practice practice practice!!!
