I just had a class at the Centrum Center in Port Townsend Washington
with Joe Wright. The class covered right hand technique.
The 90 minute class I had with Joe changed my life. He is the master
of the right hand technique. He uses an educated right hand. This
cocept is critical if you really want to speed up your playing.
Please punch in Joe Wright in YouTube and watch his Rocky Top video.
Watch his right hand!
Uncle Phil is Right!
Use all your fingers!
