About Trucks: Navigating Your Truck on Snow and Ice

If you can't see this email, click here

Trucks Trucks Truck Reviews & Photos Pickup Truck TLC Classic & Custom Trucks From Dale Wickell, your Guide to Trucks A chunk of the upper United States is experiencing loads of snow this week, with states below drenched in rain and dealing with severe weather. Staying safe on wet roads can be a problem, no matter whether the precipitation that's falling is frozen or liquid. Navigating Your 4WD Truck on Snow and Ice It's true that your pickup truck's four-wheel drive system can be a big help on snowy roads, but the system is not a cure-all that will keep you safe on slick pavement -- it does have limitations. Roll over any slick surface with caution, no matter what type of vehicle you're driving. My 4WD Winter Driving Tips will help you get a handle on a few important maneuvering skills.

2 Days Till Monday

2 Days Till Monday Hey Bharath, This is a piece I wrote to work on your hybrid picking. It also has a little flat picking thrown in as well. Start this piece slow and make sure above everything else that you maintain a solid technique. You want to build your endurance with your hybrid picking so just work it slow and consistent and you'll be fine. A metronome won't hurt either. Of course, you can vary the tempo slightly later with a piece like this to inject some musicality.

Bluegrass can be as simple or as complex as you make it. Not many other genres of guitar have this much flexibility. It can be a lot of fun for friends getting together just playing basic chords or a five piece band of jamming talent. Bluegrass is a type of music that has basically no electric instruments or drums. It excites the listener by emphasizing notes and just plain good old fashioned picking. If you are already a bluegrass fan, then you know how great it is. It is a lifestyle in itself. It's fun and has attracted a diverse and loyal following worldwide.
