I've posted this clip elsewhere and people have responded to it. This was a live improv of a blues form. I only thought it noteworthy because of the pinky thing. Forgive me for the overexposure.

Nice stuff Mike. Nice to see the direction you are taking your steel playing.

That's very good Mike!
Do you block the bass strings on that vamp. Or is the staccato because of the soft skin of the little finger?

Can really dig that Smile Rhythm, note choices, phrasing and everything Smile

Not just the pinky tho, it is very much the one behind that pinky as well.
