Hal, I'm a long time player ( 40 years ) and it's fun to follow your videos. You are putting a name on some things I've been doing that just happened. Jam etiquette is a bear. Changes from area to area and you need to ask a regular. Planning a video about what I call a " chord pop" ? Change chord and make a quick open sweep before using next chord. Best used in fast and furious rhythm...jigs are good. Never seen anyone else use this or explain it so I may have invented it! Ain't music fun! Let's play!

As a listener...and a novice harpist...I can hear the wisdom of your "less is more" technique. It's good advice.

Us bluegrassers call it the thrashing machine effect. Everyone playing at one time and it just a mess.

Thank you Hal. Very well presented concepts. I can't do the fancy stuff anyway, but your demos are excellent in teaching or reinforcing some of my own rough thoughts.
