DISCOVER SLOW GUITAR

       Everybody has heard of fast food.  Some of you might have heard of slow food?  Well now it's time for you to meet the man who specializes in Slow Guitar!

       Barry Hyman, who has been playing guitar and pedal steel since way back in the previous century, tries to make every note sing.  Would anyone ever want to hear a singer "shred" a song?  Barry doesn't shred.  He doesn't care how many notes you can play per minute.  Can you play the right note at the right time, with a sweet tone?  Can you shape it and massage it and make it special?  Everything nowadays moves too fast.  When you are making love, are you in a hurry?  We hope not!  Sit back, get comfortable, and enjoy some Slow Guitar...
