| Thanks for the exercise. Now for three (unrelated) questions. First, have you looked at the Hanon keyboard exercises? They use both a combination of intervals as they go up the keyboard. I'd expect that they would also work well moving up the fretboard. Second, does StaffTab have a symbol for the f... |

| Hi Everyone, With the new edition of the forum, Manny has been kind enough to set aside a special section for posts about Stick-inspired instruments and musicians who use Emmett's Free Hands method on instruments other than The Stick, whether on conventional guitar and bass or on specialty fretboard... |
