Problem: Article: Heat until the temperature reaches 120 to 130 F (50 to 55 C). Check the temperature with an instant read thermometer. Don't have a thermometer? The water is ready about a minute after it hits the definitely-hot-but-I'm-not-burning-myself stage. At 120 the water is touchable. At about 130, it hits the point where you can't touch it without burning yourself. You want it somewhere in that frame. You know -- one of those ones with a dough hook, like a KitchenAid. It can be done without one, but your forearms are gonna be aching in the morning. That dough hook will make everything much easier. On low speed, combine the dry ingredients until they are well combined. Make sure the egg is fully incorporated into the dough. The dough should be slightly sticky or tacky, only lightly sticking to your fingers when you touch it. This should take about 5 minutes. Obviously it'll take longer if you're doing it by hand. Leave it to rise for about 10 minutes on the counter or on top of the stove. A "warmish" spot is ideal. For the bread to adequately rise in the oven, it needs to go through two rounds of rising beforehand. To make old-fashioned pan rolls, pinch off dough the size of a small ball, comfortably fitting in the palm of your hand. Roll the ball of dough between your hands until rounded perfectly. Continue until all the dough is shaped into dinner rolls of roughly the same size. This recipe should warrant 12-15 rolls. You want them to almost double in size -- which should take about 30 to 45 minutes. While you're waiting for this, preheat the oven to 375 to 400F (190 to 200C). Then, if you'd like, take them out of the oven and brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor and softness. And then serve almost immediately. Brush with butter if you'd like, not take them out of the oven if you'd like. Well, you could keep them in the oven, but then you'd never be able to eat them, so where's the fun in that?
Summary: In a saucepan, combine the water and shortening or butter. Get out your mixing bowl and heavy-duty mixer. Add the dry milk powder, yeast, sugar, salt and flour to bowl. Add the warm water and egg, mixing until a soft dough starts to form. Add more flour, if needed, to make a soft dough. Knead the dough, using the dough hook, until satiny. Turn out your dough into a clean mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap. When 10 minutes is up, remove the wrap, spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray and punch down the dough. Shape dough as desired. Place rolls in a baking pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and let rise. Bake rolls until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Problem: Article: In order for you to make the right sounds with your slide, you need to learn to mute the strings above where your sliding. This will keep the strings from unwanted vibrations and keep them from producing unwanted sounds. To do this, gently press your fingers on the strings. Use just enough pressure to keep the strings from making unnecessary noises as they vibrate. To play your slide correctly, you need to make sure you are pressing it in the right place. You should not press the string under or above the fret because the note will sound flat. You should also not press the string into the fretboard. Even if your eyes say that you are directly above the fret, listen to the note. If it sounds flat or wrong in any way, move your slide up and down until it makes the right note. To start learning to slide, pick a note on your guitar. Muting the other strings with your non-slide fingers, press gently with the slide and then move it up and down the strings to make the sliding sound. You can start slow to get a feel for the different technique of playing and motions needed to play with the slide on. If you are using the slide on your middle finger, you will not be able to mute the strings. Just apply gently enough to get the sound you want. Try playing songs you are familiar with using your slide to get used to the different feel of the technique. When you use a slide, you should not press too hard on the strings. This will make the strings touch the fretboard, which will cause your guitar to make strange, unpleasant sounds. Move your hand up and down to gauge how hard you are pressing. If it's hard to move the slide, you should lighten your pressure. The more you move your hand around, the better feel you will have for the strings. As you play note after note, the strings will continue to reverberate. If you slide up the string to your next note, all the notes in between will play as well. To avoid this, mute the strings between different notes using your other hand. You can use the finger that you are picking with or the heel of your hand to help mute the strings. Sliding between the notes is part of the slide sound. However, if you slide between the notes you play, the sound can get overwhelming or redundant. Practice different songs to decide when to slide and when you should mute the strings.
Summary:
Mute the strings above your slide. Press the slide directly above a fret. Slide into the notes. Use gentle pressure. Mute the strings between notes.
