pah!, I wish i could play [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A61i0Xscj-k"]Rhythm Stick[/url], its one of my faves. Twas a big hit back in 1978. I remember it from school, i think i was in the fourth year when it came out (age 15)

I tell ya. Its not as if i cant get the notes or the speed correct, it seems to be just the timing (or Rhythm ) seems to be totally out. I even got the song and slowed it right down and still cant get it correct. Seems as if you need fingers like precision springs, with distributer cap timing, to get it down. Most annoying, eh!

PS:
NWR is da man!

Awesome stuff!

Very nice playing. I am your student!

I would like to view it, but it says 'this video is private'!

[Higgie]

I've had trouble changing the License setting to play on iPod/iPhone devices, due to copyright. If you view it on a laptop/PC it should be fine! Thanks a lot for the comments guys, it really is appreciated!

yup, same here, on a laptop...

[Higgie]

Video had set itself to private for some reason...Just gone in and changed it so it should now be viewable!

Cheers again, really am flattered by the comments in this thread

[steve-bbb]

youre getting the hang of it then?

[Higgie]

Of setting videos to 'Public'? Yeah, it took a lot of effort, but I got there in the end

and a Rush anthology in the background too, good man.

[xgsjx]

That young man's not too shabby on that thing! Gets a great sound too!

[gareth1982]

I've just gone and learnt this song inspired by this performance. We play uptight and signed sealed delivered in my band, but I'd never had a crack at this one til this morning. Nice one Higgie, sounds really good man! *goes to practise a bit more!*

Really need to spend more time with this...Bought it for the transcription of YYZ...So far it's the only one I've learned!

Thanks xgsjx, and Gareth, I'm glad my version of this tune inspired you to learn it...Get a video of yours up - I'd love to see your take on it

[M-N-Y]

Suhweet playing. I'll be in the practice room if anyone needs me.

[LukeFRC]

Nice playing! Also I was sat there thinking the bass sounded familiar.... I have a similar JV 57'ri, SD pup in mine though. Surprising how they sound similar, well it shouldn't be but it was
