Leo Prestia - Qantas Catering Fire

Leo Prestia, Qantas Hero, speaks about the fire on the runway: "there's lives around the airport, in the terminal, I just thought this fire's got to be put out." Qantas management threatens him with the sack. Qantas management needs to figure out that it's a great Australian airline because of it's great Australian workforce - it can't succeed at the expense of them.

(Rocco Prestia Style) Finger Style Funk Groove (BL12)

16th note funk groove in E, played on this lovely Music Man Stingray Classic series, inspired by and using Rocco Prestia's approach to finger style funk. Rocco would use mostly his index finger on his fretting hand and then dampen and mute the strings with his other fingers. I use this technique here for part of the groove and then also use the more traditional finger-per-fret technique. Hope you enjoy this one!
