Running out of time… Even this rhythm clip is pretty much as fast as possible so I call it FULL SPEED.... The problem I need to face in the next 12 days is that I obviously can't play everything I want to play that fast. As a guitarslinger on Highway 101, I tricked my competition by making the rhythm slower, but still really fast. This would lull them into a false sense of confidence until I started doubling, and then quadrupling. I would love to start out the improvisational boogie at full speed, like this one and then keep that speed even through the various techniques. If I were to do that, then it would limit what I can do musically, which may be okay. I can go full speed straight through with a short slower ending segment, or I will go normal fast speed, and the end go to full speed for the finale....either way I need to choose quick. :-)

Boogie Challenge Guidelines: Tommy Emmanuele's fastest boogie video will be used in an A/B comparison to an original guitar boogie that I have been challenged to complete in a couple of weeks. The video must be OBJECTIVELY comparable to Tommy's with comparisons between the two full 2 minutes boogies, as well as short segments side by side at the same volume.

The hard thing for me now is to maintain speed and still keep "pinch twang".... Tommy goes through several tempo changes with his arrangement so I am planning to make an arrangement where at the end I go into speed that would seem to rival even some of the fastest heavy metal players. A Guiness Book holder for speed plays a heavy metal style axe with a "sunken bridge". Lifting your wrist over something to pick really slows us down lol .... Anyway, I am learning from my instrument that it is better to discover what IT has that is beautiful and unique, rather than to try to make it fit into my idea of how the instrument wails. One issue is that there is a world of magic with "shimmer" in a very narrow area near the bridge pick which is harder to access at top speeds..... still I think that my little "Johnny Reb" will rise to the occasion and even surprise me, if I can focus on how the instrument wants to express itself, rather than bringing baggage like when you are on the rebound from another guitar. LOL :-)

Ripping Speed will be necessary....... I force myself to get faster....
