Tex Critter’s list of favorite things ain’t too long, but flatpickin’ geetar is near the top! This one will stretch you a bit with syncopation and travelin’ up the neck, but that’s ok, cause Tex will lead the way!

Wow! Fantastic Ben !!! Just a quick note that the .pdf and .tef of the tab appears to be missing all the 1/8 note rests and the previous note (to where the rest should have been) becomes 1/4 instead !

Cheers and Happy New Year,

Jim

Thanks! yeah I did that so that the notes ring out in the .tef files, just sounds better to play along. I hope it doesn’t confuse anyone playing along.

Ben,

Looked at Brian’s Video. Looked like something you would do! Ha! Banjo player taking his banjo out of the oven, mandolin player doing “maintenance” on his mandolin using high-powered drill and “equipment”! Guitar player dreaming of playing “Auld Lang Syne” and waking up for the day at the end. That was too funny! LOL!

This is an amazing lesson.
I love the play through at the beginning, those three guys are crazy !
Thankfully, it was censored too!
:rofl:
Can anyone suggest any more basic lessons to grasp string skipping?

Go to the guitar lessons, then scroll down and select the tag “crosspicking”…that will pull up tons of lessons that either teach it specifically or have arrangements that involve crosspicking.

Thanks Ben
So Crosspicking and String Skipping are the same thing.

No, I wouldn’t say that :slight_smile: Cross picking would be a type of string skipping. It would really help if you clarified what you mean by “string skipping”, maybe give me a video example.

Sorry BanjoBen , Thanks for posting back.
I was a bit vague, I forgot to put a reference.
In the lesson Auld Lang Syne on Guitar / Part 2 / Measure 33 / 04:42 mins in,
you mention string skipping.

Ahh, yeah, the crosspicking lessons will definitely help you!
