By the way, I was wondering if you think I should slow it down a bit too. I think I’m actually playing it very slightly faster than Suesbarn, and you suggested that she slow it down. I admit that I deliberately pushed the pace a bit with this one as a challenge to myself.
Thanks Andrew. I admit I watched the video for the concept, but by the time I got to the end of the song I was relying solely on the tab and forgot about the actual technique. I’ll work on that diagonal placement of the index finger to get the chime going.
I once watched a documentary about a plane crash where the pilot tried just about everything to regain control of the plane, but he couldn’t, so it crashed and everyone died. They found the black box and recreated the scenario in a simulator, and what they found is that if the pilot had done absolutely nothing and let the autopilot take over, they would have all been saved.
Anyway, I’ve been wondering, what is “panda syndicate race”? I tried googling it, and found absolutely nothing!
I can’t believe nobody has posted an entry in over a week!
Anyway, here is Yankee Doodle, although it will always be the theme to Rodger Ramjet to me.
To Kanae and Marni et al. Andrew does a pretty thorough explanation in the tutorial video for it. Having said that harmonic notes are hard! I can do them, though. Just keep working at it.
If you are really struggling with it, you might want to try one of these options.
1. Just tap the G C and A strings. The A is repeated anyway, so you don’t really need it.
2. Just play a natural harmonic on the E and A strings. That way you still get the nice chimey sound, even if you don’t get the C# played on the C string.In the interim, I have found another source for low G. I’d still love it if you did an arrangement of this along with a tutorial, but no rush.
Hi Machie,
Where in Japan are you from? I spent a total of 7 years in Japan, with my longest stay in Fukushima-ken, which lasted 4 years.

Thanks Tony. I’ll look into other things at some point, but I’m feeling a bit flat and uninspired right now, so I’ll wait a little while.
Oh wow, that’s a lot of stuff! I did aikido for 17 years. I quit a few months ago over personal differences, but I really miss the training.
