I've played a Warr guitar. It was a beautiful instrument. I can see why people are drawn to them. However, I couldn't play it like a stick. Perhaps If I had more time.

Tritone This is where your arguments break down for me. I always welcome differing opinions. Be it on musical tastes, Techniques or almost anything else music related. But you don't offer anything concrete in response. I've heard you say that "it's all there" just listen and play. I agree.... |

In other words practice touching more lightly. Greg Howard is a great guy to talk to, You may be using too much finger and not enough large ... |

Of course I remember you!!!! I feel your pain about the cost. We really tried to keep it as low as we could. I remember being in the same position in 2004 with the Charlottesville seminar. I had to ask the wife, she would be alone with the kids a few days, it was a good chunk of change, etc. All I c... |
