Brief comment Mike, nothing about the song gives me much trouble. But i did take your advice and take the last half of the song slow it down and play it several hours i guess. Then i increased the tempo, i think the pick grip became less of an issue the more i practiced. The lesson became more enjoyable as i was able to relax more and i think that made it easier to focus on the mechanics issue. If i could just learn to always relax from the start. Maybe that is my lesson from this song...Thanks Mike.
