Re:String Cleaner

I use to use GHS Fast Fret for many years. I recently switched to John Pearse String Swipes. They reduce--and prevent--oxidation, sweat and oil build-up. My strings have lasted almost twice as long using them.

How To Practice Chord Changes

Could you discuss how to improve the speed of difficult chord changes. I am currently trying to increase my speed on the A section of Jerry Reed's "Kicky".

Two Half Steps in Modes?

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s><B><s>[b]</s>A question from Euclid<e>[/b]</e></B><br/> <br/> Looking at your video on modes I wondered why there are two half-steps in each mode. In other words, who decided that there shouldn't be just one or three or more half-steps in each mode. And why were the two half-...

Re:Target videos

<t>we289 <br/> <br/> There is a big difference in the video on TARGET and the free site. The TARGET videos are higher quality videos. That makes them bigger files to stream across the internet and to process on your computer. The current TARGET files require more computer power and bandwidth than th...
