At 3:49am on May 18, 2018, Andries D. EKER said…: Thanks Derek,Yep indeed, keeps your hands busy! but fun thow! thinking up new way's of getting a Rhytm and a Melodie going at the same time so to speak, at least you try to go that quick so it looks like it, and at the same time keeping it bleuzy is tricky, co'se the Magic Note as Speal cal's it, is in a lot of tunes but co'se of the one string a limitation at the same time ,so in schort verry challenging! greeeettsszz A.D.
