Been taking lessons about a year and a half. Is it better to concentrate on one thing until you play it well,

or is it better to practice a variety of things? If I play nothing but a certain scale all week, I'll get real good at it. When I practice a variety of scales, I don't get results as quick. Any suggestions ?

I should mention that I'm middle aged and don't learn the same way or as fast as a younger person would. Don't have as much time to devote to it either.

saw it on facebook and don't know what it means with that symbol

Does anyone know if you can burn a cd from a youtube video ? I had heard that you can, but can't remember how.

does anyone know of a non-electric diy rocking mechanism that can be driven by a weight or a spring. it can be a crude version as i am using this for my outdoor hammock. can't seem to find anything on the internet, but i may be asking incorrectly.

I'm looking for a diy mechanism to gently rock my hammock. It would be along the lines of a crank up baby swing or a clock pendulum driven by a weight. It's an odd request, but I'm sure someone out there has come up with a contraption that will do this.

i have a 77 wheelhorse lawn tractor and am replacing the drive belt. if i put on the correct 85 in belt it drags and grinds gears when putting into gear. i bought an 86 in belt and it doesn't drag,but the forward motion is kinda soft although it goes into gear wonderfully. my question is, if i put on the correct belt will it eventually stretch and release the belt correctly ? the belts now are made of kevlar and resist stretching so i'm not sure it will correct itself. don't want to damage my tranny. is there something i can spray on the belt to make it slip the way it should. the 86 in belt works fine, but it's not the correct size. anyone else ever had this problem ? thanks

There's a short Geico commercial song that goes something like " I'll give you what i want, want, want, now give me what I need, need, need.................Catchy tune. Anybody know who does that song and what it's called ? Thanks.

i just bought a reliance transfer switch with 6 circuits. it's designed for 220 volts, but i was told i could run 6 110 v circuits instead of 4 110 and one 220. my generator is 120v and doesn't produce 220v. will this switch work with my generator and run 6 circuits at 110v ?

i have an exterior front door that has been sanded to bare wood in most places. it gets sun all day. what type of primer should i use. oil or latex. i have always used oil primer because it takes longer to dry and i believe it penetrates deeper into the wood because of this. some of the new latex primers work great and bond very well, but sort of lay on the surface. which would be better in your opinion ? need pros answers.

how would i simply wire a 110 v generator in to my breaker box ? i know i cant run anything that requires 220, but that's ok. all i want are the lights, refrigerator, and tv

I have a new generator that recommends premium fuel. How important is this ? Does regular fuel damage or shorten the life of the motor or will it just make it noisy ? All my other machines run on regular and always have.

would like opinions on the best general purpose tablesaw blades. i hear freud is the best, but are they worth the money or is there something better ? i use my saw for everything from adirondack chairs to table tops to fences and trellis'.. if freud is the best then which would be the best most reasonable all purpose blade. i have a 10 in tablesaw.

who sings the song on the new ipad commercial ?

i have a 500 gal underground oil tank that hasn't been used in 6 yrs. i don't want to remove it as it will be expensive and tear up the yard and the driveway. there are no laws in my area preventing me from filling it with a solid substance. just wondering what would be the least expensive material to fill it with.

could a wireless router affect a tv remotes signal. the reason i'm asking is that my tv comes on and goes off by itself. this is the second tv to do this in less than a year. my wireless router is in a different room, but still is within 10 ft of the tv. all other tvs in the house are fine. i've checked all other possible causes for this problem. i'm baffled. has anyone else had this problem and if you did, what was the solution ? was it the router ?

i recently got a best answer to a question and don't know who chose it. i didn't get any votes and it wasn't chosen by the asker. it also doesn't say that the answer team picked it. it doesn't say anything just that it was chosen. am i missing something ?

i'm going to purchase a flat screen tv and was wondering if i should look for one that is hd or non hd considering i have a non hd cable signal. is it really worth the extra expense or will i be ok with a non hd tv. also if i purchase an hd tv will it play ok with my non hd cable service?
