A fairly bright boy is far more intelligent and far better company than the average adult.
John B. S. Haldane

John Hughes

After a couple of failed attempts, I came up with a weird tuning where I was dropping the G string down a step so that it became a seventh, and it got me to a place where I could play all these figures fairly easily. It was not an easy thing to work out.

Thomas Jefferson
