Yikes.

Probably not and judging from the responses thus far it would appear not. But I did not immediately think that. I took me a while.

But what I did do, after months of trying to get them to ring out clearly (and cursing), was to question if I would ever learn them. And I do mean months. I am guessing 9 months. I should look in my log. I worked them too long at the expense of learning other techniques. It became very discouraging and frustrating. I wish that I had moved on continuiing to work them "on the side".

They will come. I think they do for everyone that continues to work them. Be smarter than me and just don't stay on them too long as I did.
