-=PCTechTalk=- Re: OT- learning guitar- hey GMan

I guess your right there Gman, also my true talent was in singing moreso
than just the guitar playing and I can truely say, "bless his heart" this
was not my brother's talent ;), although he did a "good" Arlo Guthrie and
Bob Dylan interpretation.  I guess I just always looked up to him with his
music and prefer to still do so in memory, since music was a strong common
bond with us.  I also had a "unique" style of finger picking that no one
else could quite figure out.  Some may say wrong technqiue, I say
originality heehee.
