Hello Friends,
I normally try to not post too much footage of myself playing but some folks asked that I post this so here it is, "Night And Day." I have a couple of clams, and since this recording, i've learned this tune in chord melody, so it's not entirely pleasant for me to hear, my playing that is. A good friend told me recently. "..a recording is a record of where you are, not where you want to be."
Thanks for listening
Tony Locke

Contrary to what you stated about your playing...hey,your phrasing is excellent.
"Night and Day" presents a few chordal challenges and you certainly met them head-on ! Nice group you have.  |

Tony......great single string work! So refreshing to hear that kind of playing without hearing another of those JN Speed Picking, never-ending, hooked-together, single string runs..........
I enjoyed your bass to treble runs.......somewhat like the olde Joaquin Murphy stuff.
Keep it up! Let's hear some more of this. |

Thanks. The other two soloist ARE very good. On guitar is Rick McCray, from George Strait and the Ace In The Hole Band. Paul Glasse has played with some pretty well known people too. Rick McCray has been at it just about as long as I've been alive, and for me it's a learning experience (and fun!) to play with him.
Thank you,
Tony Locke |

Great. Tony, if this is the standard of your playing you shouldn't hold back posting videos of yourself. It inspired me to listen to all your other postings, too. You guys have a lot of talent. 
One minor thing to mention. This video is the best example I've seen of why not to use an electric mandolin. Playing a mandolin through a pickup takes away all the subtle tonal qualities of the instrument and makes it sound like an electric guitar played high up on the fingerboard. Your mandolin player has a lot of talent, but it becomes indistinguishable from the lead guitarist.  Just my opinion, of course. I built an electric mandolin about ten years ago and I never use it any more for that very reason.  |
