Thanks for the advice, Andre and Barry.
I always knew to go slow, and sometimes am able to restrain myself to do it, but I have never gone as slow as you are talking about. Slower than music!
I have a piece I've just started working on that will be a good chance to try it out on on. Because right now I can't make some of the fingerings at any kind of speed.
It is Pete Huttlinger's "McGuire's Landing". I didn't realize it was in DADGAG which I have never attempted before, or how hard it would be--it's not fast, so I figured it would be a piece of cake! I love the tune so much I had to give it a try, hope I live long enough to play it
I appreciate your input.
