It is good to see you breakdown those chord configurations and transitions between chords. Thanks Matt! I think you said you're tuned to GDAD?

[@ShannonHeatonMusic]

Yes, GDAD! Another good breakdown from Matt. (To avoid me breaking down when we play polkas...)

[@petterfuhre17]

I’ve watched all these banker corner vids and happily heed every bit of advice. What’s your thought on palm-muting bass string to give extra punch to the third round of a polka? It’s probably more of a guitar thing, but still.

[@MattHeatonMusicForKids]

Oh, absolutely. The bouzouki is so ringy that a bit of muting can be super effective.
