		<description><![CDATA[Once you start heading for intermediate territory you will hear again &#38; again the benefits of learning the location of all the notes on the fretboard.  What you don't often find is HOW to do that.

Learning the fretboard is basically an exercise in memorization.  If you have the right plan of attack, then most of this work can be done at various times through your day.  You don't even need your uke!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sharp21.wordpress.com&blog=4526637&post=183&subd=sharp21&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

However, Starr&#8217;s recording company Capitol Records did not want Starr to record the song, so it was left unused until 1957.  Don Hecht thought Cline&#8217;s voice was best suited for the song but she didn&#8217;t want to record it, claiming the song sounded too [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sharp21.wordpress.com&blog=4526637&post=177&subd=sharp21&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have all been there.   Maybe it is a change up in a melody, or perhaps you have learned a new chord &#38; are always stumbling when trying to change to it.

So what do you do about it?

Or you can retrain your hand in the quickest way possible.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sharp21.wordpress.com&blog=4526637&post=174&subd=sharp21&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
