Recieved a question about headphones, so though I would clear that up a little.
The headphones are for use so you can hear yourself pick your steel. Not that a steel is necessary, but it seems most guys want to try out the movements that JayDee is showing. You can't have each individual playing thru an amp, makes way to much noise in the room with all the guys playing something different at the same time..))) So need to have something to use like headphones that connect to your amp or powered headphones. Jim
