Hayes, this sounds great. I have noticed times when an adjacent open string works, but haven't shedded this technique a lot around the 7th fret. Jerry Reed did this to good effect, as I'm sure others have as well. It is a bit counter intuitive with the lows, and highs switching positions. Can't over think it, just play! Aside; I can't say enough how helpful the diligent down up picking has been for me. Just liberating. Exaggerating, upstroke escape, angling. It is fairly natural now, and I don't get lost, or stuck nearly as much. Many thanks, Jim.
This is definitely my favorite lesson from the Guitar Club so far! Having the tabs and backing tracks has really been helping to learn this one. Would love to see more "intermediate/advanced" lessons like this one. Great work as always.
@@HayesGriffin I'm impressed with your work... I know it can be difficult making a living and music as I was involved mid 80s and 90s... Only a few of my fellows were very successful.
@@keyscook it can be rough out there! I spent about 7 years touring, but I'm feeling good about where I've landed these days with my current balance of teaching, video production, and gigging. Spreading my eggs in a few different baskets helped make life a little more stable.
Do you use the floating style in your own playing? Want to see more lessons on this technique? Let me know below!

The perfect lesson of a very nice arrangement. Great job Hayes!
Thanks Magnus!

Glad you dig it Johnny! There is more content like this on the way, so buckle up 🤠🤘
This is excellent. Great introduction to the concept of this style. Also, I love the sound of that guitar: clear, warm, balanced.
Thanks so much Andrew! Glad you like the lesson. I’m a big fan of that guitar too 🤠
That guitar is amazing,so is your playing buddy.
Thanks buddy! I love that little box. Finding it harder to pick up the dreadnoughts these days lol
Really beautiful - I like the slower tempo to appreciate & allows for the interaction of the frequencies. Thank you, Hayes!
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked it 🤠🙏🏼
