Most excellent!
This stuff is NOT easy to learn, but if you are gonna spend the
time needed to learn RGD, Ernie is the way to do it.

Thank you Ernie. Thank you Rev. He opened my eyes to what a guitar could do sometime around 1962. I bought my j-45 in 64. Now I finally get a chance to do something of the Rev.
