  1. These chopping tutorials are totally kickin . . . .Great job!

  2. Love how Niall takes apart the steps and teaches this technique from the basic moves. I am actually doing it after just a a bit of practice! I would like to also have the chord positions described when they come into play, ie. which finger goes where on which string. I will also go looking for a tutorial on fiddle chords, but having just a brief description here would be so helpful in maintaining momentum with the lesson.
