Ask Instructor David Barrett

Hi David,
Are you planning any new interviews with Mr Arnold? I find his stories fascinating and he may be the most important living link to the Chicago Masters. All his stories are gold. I request you consider a follow-up to the terrific piece you have posted currently.
Thanks

David, I was reading a question in the Gear" section of the Forum concerning Gary's Egnator setup and I was wondering what the best speaker cabinet to try to get to go along with the amp head. does the cabinet have to be open in the back like say a Fender Tube amp or can it be enclosed, etc Any tips or suggestions, I haven't made any purchases syet, just shopping around..Thanks

I remember the jaw movement from Dave "the Early Years" :) when it was all about pucker playing. In these videos are you TBing? (I know your going to say "Yes") It just seems that when TBing your note it's not center and it seems for me my jaw doesn't move that corner of my mouth the same as when I pucker it. In other words, if I pucker my jaw will switch, if I TB it doesn't.

Hi David,

Any types on breathing during the GHS study song for those of us without Lance Armstrong's lungs? I feel like I'm going to pass out from oxygen intoxication.

You recommend spending 1/2 hr of each practice on the study song. Does this mean that the time should be spent on the particular chorus I am working on or all that I have worked on so far?

Dumb question, but in which video do you teach the tremolo for "Walk With Me"? I missed it and now can't find it!

I may have dreamed this, but I thought at some point I saw a tab on the site of Key to the Highway. Is it hiding there somewhere, or should I just go back to sleep?

Hi David,

I sent a "Walk With Me" recording on 08/27 and didn´t got an answer yet, i already checked my spam folder.

Should i send it again?

Hi Dave
I have thoroughly enjoyed the chromatic studies which kind of surprises me but I'm absolutely having a blast with these studies. Any chance of having chromatic studies in a different position?
Any way my question is in Chorus 5 of So Blue For You in the 9th bar leading into the 10th you have notated
2 2 2+ (6+2+)
But when playing along with the 15% slow track I think I hear
2 1 2 2+ (6+2+) continue reading...

Hi David,

In the head of the song on the 10th bar it sounds like you're hitting the 6+ seven times, not six times as notated. I've tried to slow it down as much as possible. Am I hearing things?
