almost done with editing voicing part 1

But you can't order it yet.. I'm going to be editing the next couple videos over the next couple days. It may end up just being voicing videos, but that's cool too. I've shot 340 minutes of footage so I'll do my best to cram that on a few DVD's....

Great looking video John, I'll be ordering one when they are ready, I like Lance am very interested in hearing your thoughts on voicing.

Thanks for finding the time to help us all out.

I agree with Bob, you missed your calling. You SHOULD be in Hollywood. I hope one day we can all say "we knew him when..." I'm honored to own your DVD set, and keep up the good work. By the way, will these next videos cover neck carving?

Wow you guys way overestimate me. I'm just a big fat (but hey I've lost a few pounds) nerd who acts like a dork most of the time and happened to catch some of it on tape. But thanks anywa

These next videos are going to just cover Voicing. Everyuthing from brace placement, Gluing braces, making braces to actual tapping, and carving braces to alter the tone of the guitar. Neck shaping will come right after I do the next set which will cover binding.
