I couldn't imagine where he was going from there. I completed the Randy Potter course, have been tuning for a little over three years -- and still have an enormous amount to learn -- but this guy makes me look and feel like a consummate professional! I'm sorry that he's giving our profession such a bad name in England (for it sounds like that's where he is) but happy that he's not sullying the good name of technicians over here. What a rube!!!
