SOUNDING BOARD

Bowled Over by Phil Collen’s Advice

I enjoyed the 100 tips from the pros [June 2020]. I’m kinda surprised nobody said to really work on the note values — wholes, halves, quarters, triplets and 16th — with a metronome. Work on the feel of fluid triplets or whatever you’re geekin’ on. And hey, Phil Collen, get some fiber in your diet. It’s a solid “no” to a guitar in the bathroom! Gross!
