      I attended Bernhard's book release concert at Cafe Coco here in Nashville last night. 90 minutes of plucking hand only! (Just kidding). It was great, as expected, and I got much of it of video, of which I'll be sharing clips in the near future, for your enjoyment. Meantime, if you'd like a copy of Bernhard's helpful book, go to http://www.bernhardlackner.com/*
      Only the best for you guys!

      I got a copy of this book when I was at the Bass Camp in Nashville last year. Obviously a pre-release version. I am a little better than half way through the book. Most of the excersizes are easy to do, then he throws in a couple just to slow you down. He covers every rythm method imaginable I believe. I have been doing one excersize each day (there are about 200 of them) and now my plucking hand is way ahead of my fretting! Certainly a worthile buy - I do recomend it. Only thing missing is that there is no tempo recomendation so I have just been trying to go as fast as posible without mistakes. I saw Bernhard at Nashville and there is not the slightest chance I would be able to play as fast as he does - and he makes it look so easy. Keep in mind this is for plucking only, all done on open strings. Nothing says that you can't do your own fretting of course.
