Bradie,
Thank you for providing something useful for us all out here.
Whenever I find a lesson I think is worth saving I save it where others can use it too. Most are for techniques I teach and use myself, others for things I just might need one day! You have some other lessons I should include sometime as well, but sometimes just getting one from a good site is a reference for later.
