What really helped my finger picking was playing banjo (My Son got me one about 5 or six years ago). I looked on YouTube and found this guy teaching a “frailing” style I think it was called. So the banjo forced me to stop using only a pick and start using all my fingers especially my thumb when picking guitar or playing slide. Never really figured out the whammy bar like Mark Schuster or Gary Ramsey, those guys are monsters on the guitar.

It is really refreshing how you can play by ear. I do the same as I don’t know how to read music, I just know where the root note is and go from there. So happy you are diggin writing some stuff here, it’s really cool!

Amen, the Lord needs to be Lord. He is in control. I need to submit to Him and walk in step with Him. His way is right and it is in the light of the truth. Holy Spirit have your way this day that I may be pleasing in your sight through the blood of Jesus. Let all darkness run at the spark of Your light. Use us this day for your purpose and your will. In Jesus Name I pray.. Amen

Very cool Kath. Staying close to the Lord is what it all about. Let Him lead and stay out of the way of what He is doing. Let Him be our guide. He is worthy of our praise!

Tree Of Life Translation sounds interesting . That is cool you read different translations. My Dad gave me a King James Bible and I really like the old English it uses, very poetic.

Hi Kath, so happy you spend time with the Lord. I also like to spend time in God’s word every morning and this inspires my songwriting. My wife Susanne and I have been praying for your mom and you, she is a prayer warrior and spends a lot of time in prayer. I used to surf a lot and hope to get back down there soon, but lately I’ve just been focusing on music and work. Lord bless you Kath, and know we are praying for you guys.

Hi John,
Thought it was time to say hello.
Wishing you and yours all the best this holiday season.
Here in the middle of Sweden, it has snowed quite a bit.
Looks like a Christmas card, just like it should be.
Keep up the good music work my friend.
Greetings from Sweden,

John, I'm going to be going off of soundclick for sometime, because has of Feb 24,2010 my husband Jeremiah & I had our first child Jeremiah Jesse Brock 7.1 lbs 20 inch long. I just feel it is best at this time to be a mom and wife. I will be singing with my young sister at different times. If you would like to heard us sing, just go to http://www.soundclick.com/rubyratliff I hope you enjoy our songs.

Thanks so much for adding The American Road to your station. I listened to a few other songs on your list and I feel honored to be included. Totally made my day. Thanks again!!
Haha, that’s cool about drawing on the instruments! Mixing Who Is Worthy with your backing vox, really dig it!
