I was once at a jam at the Fiddle Tunes festival in Port Townsend, Washington, when I was just barely learning how to play backup guitar for old-time fiddle tunes. (Now, ten years later, I've gone from novice to beginner...hooray!) I remember after one tune one of the fiddlers said to me, "Hey, nice work finding that A chord!" I thanked him, and decided not to tell him that I'd been watching the fingers of a really good guitarist across the circle!

Aloha,
Mark
