Thank-you…very interesting and good information.
Another excellent interview. These are great tips (but I am a long way off from “the crab”). I especially liked the simple concept of balance between playing what you love and satisfying the audience, too. I think that is essential for being a successful performer. My favorite quote: “The entertainer plays for the audience and the artist plays for himself.” I am striving to be a little of both. Thanks for all these great interviews, Jim!
Could you please post the fingering for the crab. I can’t seem to identify them from the video.
Thanks for the great series
Mike
