Another Vid? Why not.

[VanOsbourne]

What the hell.. why not.

Everybody should post a small clip of them playing.

But...

First... the excuses.

I have to explain a few things.

I was carjacked and shot in feb 1997. The bullet went out my back and partially severed my spinal cord. My left side was completely paraylized including my left arm and leg. I got most of my control back in my arm and leg through therapy. But it has never been the same.

I gave up on playing .

I sold all my guitars.

Recently within the last year and a half I started playing again.

I had to re-learn the guitar all over again with my left hand.


I was at one time a pretty decent player.

So.. if it sounds a little sloppy you'll know why.

Jaw dropping to the floor... Holy crap! [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] Monster playing, you just look so damn comfortable flying around on those fretboards! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] Looks like you've worked hard and it definitely pays off.

Wow! [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] That's really all I have to say about both the playing and you getting shot and paralyzed and then working your way up again!

After that story and hearing your playing, I'm blown away. I'm glad you found it again. I really need to practice.

Re: Another Vid? Why not.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

As far as how I play different today. My left hand is slow to responding to what my brain tells it. So my picking had to be changed because it was out of sync. Basicly I dont pick much. I let the left hand do the work.

I think I was a smoother player 10 years ago,

I'm no expert. I dont know any theory. Never had any lessons. I just play.

Someone post more vids plz.
