New website design

The whole design of MrFastfinger.net has been updated and most important we are now running on WordPress CMS system. Everything is not much readable and accessable. Most important my own news / blog / lesson updating will be so much easier from now on.Oh and there’s a brand new “Action Guitar Blog” it’s about the making of the new Mr. Fastfinger album.

Old “Guitar Blog” has been turned into “Lessons”. Everything is slighlty re-organized. And it doesn’t mean we are not updating it. We shall keep new lessons and transcriptions coming.
