YouTube gave me a valid recommendation for once!

I am disappointed that they skipped discussing his second neck, though. Every interview with him that I've seen, they seem to gloss over it. In this interview he was asked but them they got sidetracked.

That's the kind of conversation I crave! Hard to come by in my neck of the woods.

FYI - we’ve already got a couple threads going on this one.

Whoops. My bad. I keep to Steel Without Pedals and the For Sale sections, so I missed those. Fell free to close this thread.

He gives some great advice on bar control starting about 12:50. He uses a really small bar. "Its not the size its what ya do with it"

I've been thinking about that part is this interview for a few days.

Chris also showed that the tip of his index finger is about 1/2 back from the tip of the bar. How many of you hold the bar that way? Or do you place the tip of your index finger at the tip of the bar?
