its mostly my fault i just didnt get around to ordering until last week. i hadnt realized what i was doing wrong until i actually see it shown to me. it will take me awhile for me to get rid of bad habits but the dvd is really helping me relearn the proper way.

thanks

Hi Jonathan,

Great to hear from you. I'm glad the DVD is being good to you.

It's a simple technique....once you "totally" understand it.

Take your time....don't be in a hurry...and in 3 - 6 months you won't be able to play the "old way". Keep me posted on your development.

Cool.....

I've been through the DVD now many times. I'll find when I go back to review a particular exercise, Todd had presented a detail or variation that I just did not catch before. I'll warn you up front, Jonathan, the staccato drills are going to be a workout but the right-hand control you gain is incredible.

As you will hear Todd say many times, "go slow", "take your time", etc. Consistent persistence will win the day. And, yeah, the two-finger drills were an eye opener for me as well. I started them with "I should be able to breeze right though this" and quickly progressed to "what in the world is wrong with me?!?"

I still work on this stuff....it's a constant, ongoing process that never ends. It's similar to an athlete staying in shape year round etc.

Keep me posted on your progress!!
