IPad app

Just downloaded and played around with "forScore". Downloads music scores, let's you annotate them - a portable book of music. I downloaded several of the PDF's from the lessons here that I'm working on. I can play the MP3 while following the music on my IPad when on the road. Looks really good.

Thought I'd passit on. Worth checking out IMHO

Just got an announcement from Harrison today that says they are going out of business. I guess they are selling the design of the B-Radical to another company.

If he was blind why did he wear glasses? Was he only partially blind?

Harp Player In "Electric Worry"

Just happened to see this video on youtube for Clutch's "Electric Worry"

I have to say I like the use of harp in the song. Very cool modern sound.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx6FV2qR2TY

Anyone have a guess at the key of harp used? My first guess was an A, but after playing a little of it I'm leaning toward a G.

Any thoughts on the playing in the video?

Got this a few days ago on my Kindle per recommended by David on a video somewhere on here. Up at 3am reading it. Lots of good info and flows much easier than most biographies I've read.
