I carefully inspect these student forums daily. The tendency to simply air a lesson and somehow expect that you will absorb the instruction by passive osmosis is crazy. The blade is tested when some real-world need crops up and you find that you're aware that somewhere, perhaps "recently" you've seen how to proceed, but you remember neither from where in the lessons, nor recall you enough to even take a wild stab at it, on the chance that "it will all come back to me." By reading through the experiences of others and asking questions which are resulting in lots of cogent answers the additional layer is set -- making the knowledge permeant and useable. All who subscribe to these great courses should utilize this well-organized and easy to navigate resource. For me, doing so has not only been edifying but has eliminated any downtime caused while waiting for the next Lesson. There's room for lots of repetition and practice. I know. I studied classical violin as a kid. That's the way it's done. I credit this guy, Rost, for getting it so right!
