Re: Playing Leo's Songs

I believe it's a lifelong pursuit.I had not
played guitar in 15 years when Leo's music made me start
begging for a guitar and now that i have one(a junker
with low action)(which is good) I can play the first
five notes of "Jesus Maria".There are no joys sweeter
than managing to even pluck one or two notes of
something he plays...just keep plugging away.i pick the
songs that are slow and in standard tuning because i
cant quite manage the open tunings.It's amazing
still..Eggtooth is a good one.Hole In the Day is another i work
on...i just work on them all a little bit at a
time.Accordian Bells;that one's very rewarding pretty much right
away.So far the most frustrating has been Mona Ray...the
hammering on thing has proved impossible so far...but then
again so did the first chord of jesus maria a couple of
months ago...
