I've been on a Tommy Emanuel kick recently. I go through those, Johnny A. , Los Straitjackets. etc.. Right now, I cannot master and probably won't, Tommy's technique of chime harmonics. Oh, I can do a Billy Gibbons all day long, but the pointer finger mute while ringing the strings with pick and fingers is just escaping me.
I've watched Danny Gatton do it, I couldn't. I've Watched Andy Mckee do it, I couldn't, and now specifically the chimes he uses on "Somewhere over the rainbow" just kill me in frustration, not that I can play any other part of his version, I cannot, but I want to be able to put this trick in my bag, and it's not happening. Practice is one thing, not getting it is another....
