Friday 5

By September 14, 2018September 23rd, 2018Friday Five
Hi team! Once again, I am putting this together while in Denver. My friends in Colorado – you have a good state here 🙂
Here is your Friday 5!
Music Article I’m Reading
Guitar Tip
Where is Thumbkin? Check the position of your thumb on your fretting hand. Though it will move around a bit depending on what you’re doing, it shouldn’t be too far under the neck or peeking way up above the neck. I usually try and keep the pad of my thumb around the center of the neck, perpendicular to it.
Personal Questions
A few weeks ago, I asked how you respond to clients asking personal questions. Here is what Rachel shared: My first response is usually reflecting back on the client – tell me about your religion, or tell me your thoughts on marriage, etc., which works much of the time, and when I feel appropriate for rapport building and with the right client I will sometimes engage in disclosure. Or I try to change the subject with clients having a hard time being appropriate 😉
Thanks Rachel!

What I’m Reading
The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. I made a deal with a friend to read more fiction and this was one of her top recommendations.
