For anyone who didn't see this on looptalk, when I posted it over the weekend. If you find this list useful, please download and review my tracks from: http://www.sectionz.net/sz40/userinfo.sz40?flooperTag=sp3cial-t3chniqu3 ...to show your appreciation ;-). Of course, if anyone has any additions/comments/suggestions/corrections, I'd be glad to receive them.
