Pretty tune! I’ve been using MuseScore myself, which is basically the same thing as Noteworthy. Sure makes it easier to learn a piece of music if you’ve heard it, even if its played by a computer. The piece itself looks easy enough, but those dyads on the fretboard and different chord pattern are de...

Hey Rudi,

I’m curious, I’ve seen it mentioned several times about different hand positions on the griffbret, but I haven’t seen anything documented about it, how to switch between them or even when to use them. Can you elaborate more, or do you know where I could read up on it?

Pete, It really does. Even aside from the acoustics, just having a dedicated spot where I can just stop for a few minutes during the day encourages more practicing. Rudi, I have an old original print that I've been working out of, but the three workbooks are available online as PDFs at this point, p...

Afternoon everyone! Been a few weeks, thought I would poke my head in and share where things are at. Moved through “Stad Stad” pretty quickly and am just about done with “Liserl Polka”; not quite ready to share that yet. Also, recently went out and purchased a wooden table that I could dedicate to t...

I started off with the Bergefe Red myself, but decided to change them out after reading one of your previous posts on tension Ken. The contra base arm of my zither had warped slightly from decades in a closet strung with steel strings. To prevent any further warping I switched over to Bergefe Greens...

Welcome aboard Max, Munich vs Vienna tuning is just a different set of fretted strings. Munich tuning is A, A, D, G, C, Vienna tuning is A, D, G, G, C. Don’t believe you would get a different sound from the instrument, just different finger patterns on the fretboard. Some good examples on YouTube, S...

Morning Tom! Your hand position and finger motions are defiantly improving. Your hand seems much steadier than where you started just a few weeks ago. Watching your right hand while playing, it looks like you may be dropping a note on your accompaniment chords now and again. It’s really hard to get ...

Nice find Tom! Gonna have to break out the old German books. Thanks for sharing!

Dave, Great video! I sure could have used that type of detailed explanation when I was trying to figure out where to keep my fingers and how to strike the strings. You should put that video somewhere on the main page in learning or something, along with any other instructional videos you make. Not o...

Morning Pete, Great first steps! Your scales sound good and your fingers look like they’re all where they belong. Accompaniment will take time to feel more natural. Strumming C-Major and G-Major took a lot of effort. For me it was convincing one finger that it could move further than the other in on...
