    Just clicked on the micro lessons to review and low and behold it’s Tuesday and there is a new gold nugget to pick on! Thanks Brian. I am having a blast with all the macro and micro lessons. The John Foggerty lesson is getting me to do more hybrid picking which is something I’ve always loved hearing people do.
