For about last three months I have had a pinched nerve that caused my fretting hand's little finger to go numb and totally useless. Thus my guitar playing has been to a bare minimum. It just started to get better so I played this jam. I wasn't going to post it but a couple of friends said that I should so here is that jam.

I deleted the bass and drums. I kept the piano, changed the guitar to bells and the string I modified to better fit the song. The drums are from Groove Monkee MIDI loops and also modified. I am playing the guitar and fretless bass.
I hope you like it for what it is.

Sounding pretty danged good to me! As you know, I, too,have left hand issues. Focal Dystonia is a nightmare for musicians and authors (I also write novels, so my puter keyboard gets a real workout).
A nice arrangement and selection of tracks. That was a real pleasure to listen to. Glad you listened to your friends! Very nice, indeed! Wishing you the best with thand and all else.
Sorry to hear about that, Mario. I also experienced this on one of my fingers a long time ago. I'm afraid you have to take some time off, but something tells me, you are probably not going to do that (neither did I back then) and eventually it disappeared.
This track however is rather soothing

Great work on this, Mario Sorry to hear about your hands - hopefully you've have full functionality again soon! I really liked the arrangement on this, the song has a really nice flow to it.

Thanx Rob. I did take about 3 months off of serious playing. I could use my other three fingers but it was different. I didn't play much as I didn't want to get into any bad habits. How in hell did Jean "Django" Reinhardt do it!
Thanx for listening.

Great job, and thanks for sharing!
Thanx Deryk. I have about 95% back and I should be to 100% in a few days, I hope.

Mario, once again you have put together a very interesting sounding track! You always blend together some great sounds! I really liked the tone on that guitar! Thanks, Torrey

Thanx Torrey.
It isn't often that you hear a non-distorted guitar on the radio anymore. A lot of the time I like a clean clear guitar tone.

Sounds good, Mario! It seems several of us "old folks" around here have had some problems with our hands lately. While I am not nearly as old as you, I have had some issues with my hands as well. As you get more feeling and strength, keep doing what you can do. Your music is a gift, not only to you, but to all of us here who care about you.
Keep it up, young man!
