City Of New Orleans ("Bluegrass Blitz" stunt guitar take)

Description: Here's a flashy, athletic "stunt guitar" take of City Of New Orleans by Steve Goodman, designed specifically to impress viewers age 13-18 who were raised by Grand Theft Auto. All those acrobatic bluegrass riffs and hypercaffeinated scale runs were improvised on the spot. Eat that, suckers. (Apologies to Arlo Guthrie.) As always, please pardon my singing voice. Folkies hold on, I've got another take with a little more feel and a little less flash somewhere on my hard drive. I'll post that soon.

GuitaristInProgress ::: Favorites Ah, you found this vid before I had a chance to send it to you! Not exactly bluegrass - certainly a pale imitation compared to your vids - but as close as this raised-on-rock Long Island boy is likely to get, and I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the kudos! 07-09-09 03:51:07 __________________________________________________

GuitaristInProgress ::: Favorites Funny, I wish I could fingerpick worth a damn. Grass is always greener. Actually I have an exercise I learned to pick like this with... just a standard bluegrass thing someone showed me that I played day in and day out for years. Once I clear my backlog of videos to upload, maybe I can post a lesson or something. 07-08-21 13:35:55 __________________________________________________
