I have done quite a bit of reading and researching, I find that it is always a good thing to have more than one view on some topics. The one topic that I like to do my best with lately is the learning and practicing of guitar playing. I am taking lessons from a few friends informally and doing what I can with the computer and the things that I am able to find on the net related to this subject. I am so happy that there are things like alternate picking lessons out there for me to get some benefit from.
