as the snow flies (closed-circuit to andy)

running through some beautiful fresh snow this morning put me in mind of that pretty li'l rhcp riff.

i checked youtube for helpful instruction or lessons, but got lost in all the creative reinterpretations. there was friendly advice, funny dudes, inspirational youth and li'l kids, a painful house/electro mix, string quartets, piano and bass interpretations, easy versions, and a few acoustic variants.

as a teacher, i love seeing the different teaching philosophies expressed in the videos. as a student, i love being able to switch teachers when i want to try a different approach. unfortunately, after giving it a half-hour or so, i'm still a few steps behind that nine-year-old. but here's a version i might try to build upon -- a nice classical guitar mix that adroitly combines the guitar and vocal lines.
