I personally would like to see a DVD of the mandolin style of Mike Compton versus Mike Compton explains Bill Monroe. I think Mr. Tater has a style that is of course highly influenced by Bill Monroe, but I'd like to see Tater explaining what he does and why and his approach to playing not just Monr

Surely there is a HUGE need for this material as evidenced. I think the way to go would be to publish it direct though; make available via your site etc. Think Andrew White and insane transcriptions, etc. On Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 8:33 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > Howdy Mic

So that's what wrong with me - too much electric guitar influence foggin' up my right hand technique. Damn Beatles Anyway! I think Tater hit it out of the park with the comment regarding influences and essentially getting hardwired to a certain soundscape (is that a word?), anyway, so much of
