It´s not as good as demonstration as Matthias Loibener´s posted earlier, but I do think she definitively is nicer to look at ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT89FrGpMLI 2011/4/14 Samantha Riffle <[email protected]> > Felicia, it's very odd, my right arm is absolutely fine, but I definitely > have a problem with my left - it always starts right after I play.
