Steve posted a new blog

Steve's latest article is called "Technique or Repertoire" and covers a topic I've often wondered about myself.  Where should you spend the bulk of your time when practicing - on drills that will improve your technique or just learning new songs, hoping the technique will follow with time.  Steve explores this topic from the viewpoint of a student as well as from the viewpoint of a teacher. Be sure to read this post to find out his answer.
