Far too confrontational, and likely to put potential visitors off IMO. But hey - it's your project man! [/quote] I think I might put up a note on my home page or somewhere on the site, explaining that name isn't meant in that fashion. It's more to grab attention than anything. Also the idea came from other projects such as 'So you think you can dance?' and 'Betcha can't play this'. It's just one of those phrases that's been heard before. Not to mention is was a bit of a last minute name for my project proposal to be really honest. Edited May 14, 2013 by AntWPF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Foot Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I dont know how far along you are with this website or even if it is just a CMS site but if you control the server and can code (or have got someones help) download the trail version of articulate. Its a program (powerpoint add on) used for elearning and can publish interactive slides/quizzes as scorm files (flash based). You can use this to great effect f you think of applying the topic in a creative way. My company used to use it before specialising.

AntWPF Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 This is the view I'll now have for my videos, I'll swap the chair for a drum stool though and get rid of items such as the snare drum.

cloudburst Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Anthony. I think your website looks really good. However, you've made a crucial mistake. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to comment further. I'll leave any response to you, once you've read my PM. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkgod Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) My bit of good advice is,,, when you have finished playing with the E string rest your thumb on it. when you play say on the d string you are setting of a harmonic on the E or an open E string ringing. clearly heard about 1:06ish, 1:18 and 1:24, ETC.... mute what you dont use with your thumb, one of the things i use to teach is how to play notes without any clutter, ie... when you move to the G rest your thumb on the A which also mutes the E. hope it helps.
