pitch raise time

[Paul]

Clyde
What helped me learn to  pitch raise/lower and tune quickly was to
watch/liston to EVERYONES tuning style and gleen from that the techniques
that improved my accuracy. The results are faster tunings, less wear on the
body, etc. Dan Leviton's class on muting at the Kansas City Convention was
very helpful. I had the attitude that I knew how to mute and tune, but if
this guy is doing a class at a national, maybe he can show me something. He
DID! ( Thanks, Dan!). It has not come easy, and has taken years to perfect,
and I think I still have a lot to learn. But my clients repeated requests
for service tells me I'm on the right track.
