| Not to hijack the thread but as I'm still working on my songbook, I'm wondering how many of you folks read standard notation? Just curious... I hate to sound so ignorant but what do you mean by standard notation? I read piano, guitar, and StaffTab(TM). I actually don't read tab notation very well. ... |

I just got this and it is really nice. I recommend it highly. After a couple of listens I like the tune "Experience" the best. I'm sure that will change over time as is typical of good CDs.

| I was missing it too but it uses a lot of screen space and now that you have mentioned that "View new posts" link I think that is probably a good compromise. I go back and forth with the new format. Overall, I think it's an improvement. But, with any change there's are a time of adjustment... |

| My thinking has always been that it's better to use the Baritone Melody version so that you can practice playing the lowest melody string which is next to the lowest bass string, but I just wanted to ask if any of you have any different ideas. I have both books and I only use the Baritone Melody on... |

| Hi Eric, I just got a new CD in the mail from Montréal Stickist Fred-Érick Sauvé called "Stickistique." It's solo Stick recordings, including six "Gnossienne" by Satie. Fred is a great player, and the disc is well-produced, and very interesting listening, especially for those in... |

Thanks,

Ah, yes, good old #2. I really worked hard on this one and could play it at very fast tempo. I think it really helped me get started on feeling what it's like to have each hand doing different rhythmic things. I recommend it highly.
