Mousethief, Thankyou for belittling my sincere request. Often people these days are so tied up in concern for others and a desire to help those who are willing to express a shortcoming. It is refreshing to see that you do not conform to such conventions.

I do own and use a metronome, and have a reasonable sense of time, but I am having difficulty transferring that to consistant and interesting strumming/picking patterns. Perhaps I should pretend, through this electronic medium, that I am an expert. I think that it would be easier to do than looking for answers. It seems to work nicely for you.

While I appreciate a good joke, I would encourage you to redeem yourself by adding the constructive portion of your criticism in another message so that I may benefit from your knowledge and experience.

I am fairly new to Mudcat, but I know that your approach here does not represent the general approach of other mudcatters.

I was not expecting to write this type of response in this thread. Sorry folks.

Be well, Jo

One word: metronome.

I have been playing guitar for a while now and I need to focus on rhythm to strengthen my playing.I was wondering if any Mudcats would know of any books, book/CD combos, or videos that would provide a good background to a variety of music styles (I enjoy most styles). I have seen a number of products, but I would like to hear your choices, and what strengths you saw in the products.

Thanks, and be well. Jo
