Hello everyone,
The Weekly Wrap Up is ready.
Have a great weekend!

A little mystery music at the start of today’s update, one that demonstrates some independent finger control. Our
friend Max over at TEG has put up a free lesson/tip on some cool left hand stretching exercise that will help make
things like this easier. Check it out.
As you may have noticed, I had a little extra fascination this week with Freight Train, by Libba Cotten. Some of this
was inspired by Dave Nachmanoff’s song Kindred Spirits, which I hope to get to a lesson on soon, but also by
listening to many different versions with Ed at his lesson that became this week’s Fly On The Wall. Be sure to let
me know if this is something we should pursue, some of the various arrangements we hear by different artists.
Vanessa’s lesson this week also wants back to some roots, Guy Clark’s classic L.A. Freeway. This is another song
that encourages playing it differently every time, a very useful skill as far as I am concerned.
The other big news this week is we have locked in dates for IGC 2017 and are open for registrations. I am pretty
sure we will fill up quickly this time so if you are thinking of joining us I suggest getting on board soon. We will be
at the Presentation Center the week of August 21-25, 2017, Monday through Friday once again as that seems to
have worked well for almost everybody who attended in 2016.
There were a few other fragments of some tunes I was asked to play at a ceremony tomorrow, maybe even a couple
future lessons there. In any case, on to next week.
Stay Tuned & In Touch,
Neil
