Thank you for sharing.

I've been playing for only a few months so this is a good challenge for me.

I believe I've read a thread on this but quick question for the lever notation ..

Is the "F" lever always raising the 4&8 strings a 1/2 step and therefore the "D" Lever in this notation is lowering the 4&8 Strings a 1/2 step?

I've seen letters interchanged but serving the same function for the lowering the 4& 8 strings but haven't come across F being used as anything other than raising the E strings.

Just making sure it's my playing and not my understanding of the notation that's off!

Thanks!

Yes, the F lever raises E to F, & the D lever lowers the E to Eb (1/2 step) ...guess they should've called it the Eb lever. You're very brave to take this on...I always stopped at page 1 for years...it was very hard to memorize things I had never done, but when I finally took the time to understand each move, & not just memorize, it really helped...if you put my name in on Youtube, you'll see me playing it...one with tracks, & another without tracks...Good luck, Eric!

Definitely will check out your Youtube vids!

I don't think I'll get through two measures of it...but I hope to work on it a bit before Christmas, take a video of my "progress" and revisit next year to see how far I've come along!
