    Eric, can you do something like "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego's Filarmonica ?"

    How bout an app that shows a picture of an Escher, Coti, Kiita etc? All you have to do then is run your razor over the screen!

    These are all great ideas, "angry hones" is my favorite.
    I'm not sure running a razor over the screen is such a good idea lol

    I learned to hone the same way you did, videos, reading, questions and more questions.
    Pilots, astronauts, race car drivers ect, use simulators to train and fine tune their skillsets - so why cant we?
    I understand some of us are out of touch with technology, but future generations will depend on it.
    Your certainly entitled to your opinion, but to say this is a silly idea is silly in itself.
    FWIW

    Repetition is a valid learning tool - I've spent more hours than I care to acknowledge practicing scales on the guitar (not those scales) - but it has got to be the right moves to be useful, and an app on a smart phone doesn't strike me as a good tool. It's miles and miles away from stropping a butter knife, for example. You can play guitar hero until you are a competitive expert, and you will never, ever be able to play a real guitar with those skills.

    A proper simulator would include something that at least would approximate the motions required on the real thing. This reminded me of the app, now banned, that supposedly taught how to... ummm... pleasure a woman on those fruit named smart phones. I didn't think that was good either.

    So, I don't think we disagree, we have just slightly different points of view on the issue, is all.
