		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s St. Patrick&#8217;s Day! It just seems fitting to post a traditional Irish melody. This is a finger style arrangement of &#8220;Irish Washer Woman&#8221;. Not everyone knows it by name but most recognize the melody right away. The tune has a quick tempo but start slow as you would any new piece. Click here for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Merriam-Webster on line dictionary gives one definition of the word &#8220;chops&#8221; as &#8220;the technical facility of a musical performer&#8221;. When I hear the term &#8220;chops&#8221; I can&#8217;t help but think of guitarist Jimmy Bryant. Jimmy Bryant was from Georgia. He was born in 1925 and died of cancer in 1980. During the 1950&#8242;s he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the longest time I thought &#8220;Till There Was You&#8221; was just another Beatles song. I&#8217;m not sure when it was when I learned it was actually a Broadway tune. More specifically it was in &#8220;Music Man&#8221; and written by Meridith Wilson. &#8220;Till There Was You&#8221; can also be found in jazz fake books and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We talked about nylon string guitars being great for large hands due to the traditional wider neck. Nylon string guitars are also great for young hands. The nylon strings are much softer than steel strings and can be much easier on the finger tips. Young students often complain of the steel strings hurting their finer [...]]]></description>

Every time he tried to make a chord his left hand fingers would each cover two strings &#8211; whether he wanted to or not. It was impossible for him [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Romance or Romanza is to classical guitar what &#8220;Stairway to Heaven&#8221; is to classic rock or what &#8220;Autumn Leaves&#8221; is to jazz. It&#8217;s very recognizable and a lot of guitarists do it as their first classical piece. &#8220;Romance&#8221; has two different sections. It starts out in E minor which has one sharp in the key [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fretboard or neck radius refers to the arc of your guitar&#8217;s fretboard. With the exception of classical guitars, all acoustic and electric guitars have a slight curve going across the fretboard. The middle of the neck being slightly higher helps out the weak spot in the middle of your finger when you barre. Looking at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok. It&#8217;s Thanksgiving weekend and the holidays are here. So, I&#8217;m posting a fingerstyle version of Silent Night. The arrangement is considered easy and is meant for beginning fingerstyle players. There is actually two versions. The first one is just single melody notes against open string bass notes. The second version includes a simple harmony [...]]]></description>
