Topic: A Christmas gift to a lucky Chordian! Everyone Read For a Chance!

I've decided to give away an instructional DVD and a pack of D'Addario EXP strings to a lucky Chordian for Christmas... The DVD is "Johnny Hiland Bluegrass Guitar".  It's an excellent instructional DVD for walk-ins (runs between chord changes) to add some interest to your playing, regardless of style, though it does lean more toward bluegrass. It also covers some great strumming and flat picking techniques smile I'm sure whoever gets it will find it very helpful, I know I have wink If you don't know Johnny here's the little intro section of the DVD with him playing some real nice flatpicking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaDmoNzCW_M Don't worry the DVD starts you off slow wink but still covers some advanced techniques so all levels of players should find it equally helpful...

So, if you'd like your name in the pot just post below and Friday I'll take all the names, put them in a hat and pick a winner smile Best of luck to everyone and Merry Christmas! -Chris/Pix

I sure could use new strings, mine are worn out and coming unwrapped. The DVD would be good too, but I'm so dumb it may not help me.
