| Agree with everything Steve just said plus one additional item that almost sounds silly saying out loud ... but here goes. When I first switched from 10-string to Grand (long long time ago) I started with MR. I never really connected with it but one of the breaking points was the fact that, using li... |

| Hi all, The website http://www.greghoward.com is alive and well. Currently it has been revamped just a bit with mostly the same information as before. As time moves forward, the hope is to really focus on celebrating both Greg's music as well as his contributions to the Stick pedagogy. Cheers! |

Wow! How long until we get Mainstage by extension? My setup is currently a 2013 Macbook Pro and I'll likely be looking to replace it in the next year. |

Man! I completely forgot about this video that Steve Balogh shot back in 2011 at the Ground Level in Toledo. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't remember how to play this and I don't even remember the title. I do remember enjoying playing this one quite a bit though.

| Illusion! Totally! It's like a piano with strings. Two hands. Everything is laid out right on the fretboard. Every instrument has its learning curve and different things make different instruments more difficult to learn. Horn players spend years honing their embouchure. Players in the violin family... |

| For me the SoftStep is just a bit problematic if you're looping. The switches are soft (hence the name ;) ) so if you're doing loops where the timing is real critical, it can be hard to get them just right.
