2nd - jolly nothing like blowing one's own trumpet eh, only joking. i think i have ok rhythmn with more structured strumming patterns but with repeated strumming of the same chord over and over i get bogged down, mainly with blink 182 songs and other pop punk rubbish.
3rd - that mutting is a good idea, much easier than my picking with my pinky idea, i can do the mutting easily with the underside of my 1st finger while fretting the note on the string above it, i learned to do that when learning a song by a local emo band.
4th - Any info on how to get the audio on the lessons to play, i always takes me back to the log in screen when i log in, ive tried allowing all cookies in my browser but it didnt make any difference? i want to hear how you played that tocatta
Finnally - Do you have any links to other easier classical tabs for me to have a go at?
