After almost 2 weeks, I kind of have the melody mapped out inside of the travis picking with the thumb. Like I said :) -- this will be not a quick and easy for me but hey what's the reward when things are easy.
And to boot, note the kitten in my lap.
p.s. I hadn't planned to record anything today but hey I finally got through the entire sequence so I thought what the heck -- holes in jeans and all :)
