Re: New Standard Tuning stuff

[Dan <danielalbertini72@yahoo.com>]

Man check out my buddy Jeff at www.jeffscheetz.com  Many videos and audio examples as well.  His band has a song with regular play on the soap opera All My Children from the title track CD Beggars Rogues and Theives.  I have learned so much from him one of my first teachers.  Most major cool Dogstock coming up soon as well.  You will like 4 sure!!! Happy jammin, Peace!!!!!
