		<description><![CDATA[Yes, that is how you get to Carnegie Hall.  Practice (or &#8220;time on board&#8221; to the fretted instrument player&#8211;the fingerboard) is necessary if you&#8217;re to reach any of your goals as a musician, whether you&#8217;ve taken up banjo, guitar or any instrument.  The discipline of practice when playing an instrument should be fun rather than a chore; approaching [...]]]></description>
