because he can set his wrists, and everything proliferating away from his wrists, in motion like they each have an on board risk processor. Arlo, how do you set your instrumentation mind to work and your narration mind simultaneously? Is there something akin to self hypnosis? I still have to glance at the fretboard to be certain my fingers are exactly where they should be. Any tips to overcome sight dependence?

Practice (practice, practice, practice ) with your eyes closed

As in be the fretboard...? With no less connection to the right hand...?

The synchopation...

I'm really giving Arlo's ability some admiration, in that I'd be tickled to simply focus on the right hand with a pick and have the fretboard mastered in my sleep like he does.

Yes... practice, practice, practice. I should have known that was coming. Close the eyes...

There is no doubt of Arlo's amazing talent of doing what he does and making it seem effortless. But he has practiced, practiced, practiced for more than half a century!

And you're right Doc, you should have seen that one coming

Well... Isn't a blundervirgin supposed to bluner?

Arlo's an expert. I'll never be able to play that well.

When I retire, practicing that finger style will likely be my greatest preoccupation...
