Hey Rick, Withold meals (or anything else) til he tells ya how! -- great idea; but, after 15 years of marriage, I don't want to risk upsetting the apple cart, so to speak! ;-)

The thing is, Dear Hubby really would like to help me. He just isn't a 'natural' teacher, like yourself -- and this from a fella who went to college on a music scholarship (OK, so he was a trombone player -- no jokes, now!). Since I'm at a point now in my guitar playing where I need some 'theory' thrown in on top of all those 'hot licks' I'm learning (yeah, right), I'm lucky that Dear Hubby is excellent at explaining the B minor seventh diminished fifth chord and its ilk. So, I really can't complain too much, now can I?

But then, I end up asking dumb questions like this one on the 'Cat. Go figure.

All the best, Áine
