"Picky"

Another Keener original. Has some resemblance to Jerry Reed's Honkin'

I named this one "Picky." Jerry had already used the title of "Picky, Picky, Picky" or I would have used it :)

I hope you like it despite my mistakes.

Bruce,
Very nice! I didn't hear any mistakes. You've got some great technique with your left hand - doing all those stretches effortlessly.
Thanks for posting.

Thank you very much Gary. I guess I do give my left hand a bit of a workout there. Like the rest of my old worn body, it needs the exercise though.

NIce!

I am sure you have heard this before....but you have the fingers of a guitar player.....long and thin....spider like. Smooth, fluid technique.

Bruce, that was a perfect example of the importance of watching. My guess is that the average listener might have more than a little difficulty figuring out the finger position for the left hand. That song doesn't look like it has a lot of options for how it could "be played. Very nice, and yes I do hear bits of "Honkin'" throughout!

Thank you Claude and Rande.

Rande, yes I wish I had videos of all the tunes I've written. I recorded a few with just audio a few years ago, and now there are a couple of them that I can't remember how I played.

Bruce, please stop asking for flattery here, it becomes pathetic.
Thank you.
