Thanks, John. I looked up the book and it looks good. I think I'll order a copy this evening.
I hope all is well,

Hi Jim. This article may be of interest.

My approach is to listen to the melody of a tune, decide which position on the neck to play it…
Hi Jim,
Re: scales;
You know, I am reading a theory book right now by Jim D'Ville and Bill Keith called "The Natural Way". I think it is really terrific and I would recommend it to you as a great place to start.
Best Wishes,

I need to start doing a better job of learning scales. Can anyone recommend a good reference. Thanks.
I have found that setting up a metranome and practicing helps greatly. I like to warm up slow and build speed on scales. Then I move to rhythm. Then I focus on new licks and breaks that I have issues with. I spend a great deal of time tryin to perfe…
Everyone develops practise habits over time. Whatever works best for you and can be maintained consistently. Good playing comes in attention to details and practising slowly with a metronome for some of your practise time. You need grind time to dev…
I think one of the things that is really holding me back is that I have a very undisciplined practice routine. In fact, undisciplined is too kind....haphazard would be a better word.
So, I think I need to develop a routine. What should be included…

I saw your post on wanting to learn scales. I have some info up on the Theory Group : http://flatpick.ning.com/group/theorybeyondthesound/forum/topic/show?id=2091238%3ATopic%3A41877
In additional there are lots of books and Internet references for scales. Take a look at my link and if you want, send me a line. In the meantime, I see if I can find a good reference for you when I get home.

I've just received a Blazer&Henkes 000-42.It's a guitar from another planet;no bluegrass guitar of course,but a very sweet and resonant guitar,crystal clear sounding one.

Complete FGM On DVD - On The Way
I've been bothering Dan periodically for a few months now asking when the DVD with every issue of FGM would be ready. I already had them all in print form but they were taking up so much space that I was really looking forward to having everything on a single DVD.
When I got the email yesterday that it was finally ready, I ordered immediately. I now have my print collection up on ebay, in groups of two volumes. I've been watching prior sales and if all works out, it should be about a break even… Continue

Dan,
Going through in detail now, and came to this point again. You diagram on p.67 makes the similarity of the C and D forms clear. Another way I have seen these box patterns named that I also find useful is name them 'string-finger' according to…

been awhile since Jed asked the pick question, so probably doesn't care by now, but when i went to a Beppe workshop some years ago, he was using the Dunlop 500 (not the tortex, but the glossy model), pink one... .98 thickness.
