Periferal vision, Mike. That's the only way I can imagine it done.

Respectfully, I believe this is the solution to the problem.

Eye contact with the conductor is essential but it does not have ...

I have a GFI SD10 Expo- I absolutely LOVE it!!!

Let's break it down-

-Easy to work on/adjust
-Not very heavy

Go play one!

Joe

Bump up for Mr. Steiner. Great instructional material!

Joe

Karen,

Congratulations! You are gonna LOVE that guitar! Smile

You'll love doing business with the Coopers too!

Joe

Karen,

I sent Wanda an e-mail on Thursday of this past week and I haven't heard back either. She's usually very prompt with replies, so their interwebs may be down.

Joe

I recently received Herbs "Shuffles, Ballads and Waltzes, Vol. 1". Good stuff! Great melody focused arrangements. I plan to purchase more from Herb in the future, great guy to deal with!

With a label like that I was prepared for the worst! Laughing

Fine playing sir! Thanks for sharing. Smile

Good points raised. I have a 1000, and I also wouldn't recommend it as a first instrument with the Western Swing caveat as an exception...jazz too.

I think that one should consider modes as a means to an end, and not the end in and of itself. Chords in a progression not only have a quality, but a function in the key center. Modes help me keep my ...

I don't think about grammar when I speak, but having learned it enables me to express myself eloquently and extemporaneously. Smile

YMMV

Thanks for the kind words about Buddy, I'll give him your best when I see him next. In addition to what you've said, I also feel compelled to add what a great human being he is. His presence is lumino ...

Hi Mr. Steiner!

I've looked at some of you courses on your site, but I'm having trouble deciding where to start. I am interested in E9 material, and it may be a few weeks before I am ready to make ...

Jeremiah,

Great points well taken about seeing a teacher in person. I am fortunate to be studying privately with Mr. Buddy Charleton. You are spot on about the things a great teacher can impart.. ...
