When I get frustrated (musically, that is), I force myself to just sit and play. I've been bored with myself musically lately (still am..oh well ! ;) but people also ask about my right hand, so I figured I'd mess around over some harmonics and capture it with my webcam for youtube. Warts-n-all!

Working on my thumb technique, so I recorded myself playing around. Came up with a little line to challenge my thumb, index and middle fingers. Warts and all, tho! Definitely not perfect and it's not a real tune, mostly taking the riff and making something up as I go along..
