Ok but, as I noted, the Gypsy guys do fly at very fast tempi using their downstrokes. I just don't get it. I guess I'll have to just try it and see for myself...

Well, to be fair, when those gypsy guys are burning, it's not all downstrokes, not even close.
They will however, stick pretty close to always using a downstroke when changing strings, those that "gypsy pick."

Here is Etude #2. It introduces a good amount of bebop vocabulary...

Here is today's take of the first etude. (I recorded another version last week but didn't post it.)
This time I plugged the guitar in and found a better angle (I think) for the camera. Used Frank's CD to play along with.
Question: how does one add titles / captions to videos? (For all you Mac users, I mean on a Windows PC.) I'd like to do that.

I import the raw video file into MS Movie Maker and can add the titles in that program.

"Windows Movie Maker" lets you add captions, introductions and the like but it doesn't accept all file types so you may need some software to convert to a file type that works.

In #1 - has anybody noticed that in measure 14 there are two f notes in the staff and tab (beats 2 and 2-and) and Frank plays a low c for the second f? Sounds better to me... just sayin'....

Rahsaan, that was super-clean and right in the pocket. Well done!

I'm working on some alternate fingerings here (with quite a few open strings involved) which doesn't mean I'll not be practicing those stretches any further.
Is this probably what Frank wants to tell us? I mean this is quite a tough one anyway for a second etude. Some of the etudes in Vol 3 are easier to finger....
Opinions?

I think I might have done temporary shifts rather than stretches. You can check my video.
