Thanks Sprint Bob, I hope to upload some of the same songs with my crossover so people can hear the difference.

Now that I'm back home I can work on this tune more. It's a great workout for your fingertips.

Thanks Barry. Your compliment is very appreciated.
I think I'll try to keep this thread alive by posting some recordings of the other arrangements I've worked on in the book/course. The songs and exercises are great teaching tools. Maybe we can encourage others on the AGF to do the same. Below is Fishin Blues (I think I played it with the capo at the 2nd fret). It was recorded a couple of months ago, probably the most left hand intensive song I had learned at the time. I'm playing it a bit faster now. Outside of the book, I'm working on Mark's arrangement of Windy and Warm and his solo arrangemement of JT's Sweet Baby James. Fun stuff.

Good one Bob. I'm going to try that one after RWB Rag and Flier.

I'm having fun with these Mark Hanson books. It pays to hold on to stuff, you never know when you'll give it a spin again. I have some arrangements of his of songs from his Author's Notes CD. I'll have to dig them out too. He's so exact and precise when he plays it forces you to try harder for cleaner playing.

I had no idea how many errors in my fretting hand I was covering up with my strumming. It took me a long time to play the simpler of his 2 Freight Train arrangements cleanly on a consistent basis, and I'm still not there with Over and Out Rag, even though I can say I know the tune and can play it in time (but much slower than Mark!). I found a short Pete Huttlinger video where he talked about training the fretting hand with an exercise. It is hard to explain, but basically you just do chromatic scales with all four fingers, the trick being you can't lift a finger off a fret until it is time to place it down on the next string. Ouch! There is another thread going on now about "strangling the neck" and that is exactly what I am doing. I'm really pleased with Mark's teaching, I feel like he is providing a solid foundation for me. Thanks to AGF for the tip on his books and inspiration. to keep plugging along.

You inspire me with your nice playing!
I will look for my Mark Hanson books tonight. I played a lot from them some 10 years ago. |

I did Freight Train in the first book and then kinda stumbled on the rest. Didn't like most of the songs and just found Water Is Wide too tricky.
Skipped to the the next book months later and have really got on with Red, White & Blue Rag. It just came together quite quickly - all except that pesky thumbover F chord, which I rarely get clean. |

I’ve continued on in Art of Solo Fingerstyle. After Fishin Blues, I did an abridged version of White House Blues (basically the first page and the last two pages) that are the solo fingerstyle sections. Etude was next (lovely but short song) and then I started to learn 4 finger rolls with Dedicated to Mississippi John Hurt (DMJH). I skipped Bill Bailey and Over the Waves because I’m just not into the melodies of each. Over Thanksgiving, I started to explore Flier which I think is one of Mark’s best compositions. I’ll focus on DMJH and Flier probably through mid spring. I’ll wrap up this book with Twin Sisters and Strawberry Curl which will take me into 2019 I’m sure. Future Mark Hanson compositions I’d like to tackle are the full performance version of Key to the Kingdom and Mark’s solo fingerstyle version of The Water is Wide.

I've been working on Key to the Kingdom off and on for months (the simple version). I can play it "ok" at medium tempo, but it sounds like a totally different tune at the speed Mark goes at! Art of Solo Fingerstyle is a great book, and I hope to dig in deeper as my technique improves.

Mark is my Skype teacher and he told me he probably recorded the KtoK version we both play too fast for us mortals to want to aspire to. I can play it pretty well at 85-90 percent of the tempo he recorded it at but to be honest, I like it a bit slower. His biggest tip to me is not worry about how fast you play but how musical you play and that has really kept things in perspective for me. I think I am starting to reap the benefits of working through AoSF. It's really a great foundation for us solo fingerstyle wanna bees. Cheers, Bob
