Subject: RE: Help needed understanding Shuffler guitar style
I think George finds it hard to talk about his methods because it's been years since he developed them, and the moves have gone into 'muscle memory.' It's hard to verbalize that.

As an example - I like to play simple tunes on the piano, improvising the bass from the chords. If I played something and you asked me how I had just played a certain measure, I doubt if I could tell you.

I do think that the interviewer should have formulated his questions in a more intelligent way. 'How did you come to develop your style?' does not give this elderly man much of a lead.
