HI Juan, I haven't followed this thread closely but isn't what we are doing here [ on this list in general ] more in the analytical realm? `How to, nuts and bolts sort of thing? Without knowing what

John: Is that generalization really true? Don't most players go over and over and over the "tricky bits"? If you are a folk guitar strummer, perhaps you don't have to work on things, but if you are

Vince, I have a day job and a family so, I don't have many long periods of time where I am mentally fresh to really focus for hours at a time. That being said, I tend to practice in short, focused,
