Nailing that Tone

[rwmct]

I want to be able to play a piece the way the guy on the record or the live video did. That is why I wanted to learn it in the first place.

After I can do that, I can change what I want to.

If you're playing in a cover band and people are dancing, that ability will come in handy for extending short songs, especially from the 60s and early 70s when radio hits were typically < 3 minutes long.

No doubt. But I am a total hack. I don't play for anybody but myself.

I feel like comic Steven Wright when I says this (so nailing the tone, one has to say it in a flat, slowish, monotone) but...

...sometimes I can't play like myself.
