Cristy,
    As a teacher, I absolutely LOVE unique approaches that work for others. 
Many famous styles were created by someone trying to make their guitar sound 
like something they heard, only to later find out there was a simple trick 
to getting that particular sound.  One example I use in trying to teach that 
idea is someone trying to imitate the sound of a glass slide solo without 
using any kind of slide.  Another would be someone trying to imitate a lap 
steel guitar on a regular 6-string.  Neat things happen when you push the 
boundaries (or just completely ignore them).         :O)

    Wrong technique???   Bah!  There's NO such thing as long as you still 
get your musical point across!           lol

Peace,
GMan

The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask.
