@intheflesh316 One could do a lot worse than having Jesus, who advocated nonviolence and love as a role model. As the old song goes "What's so funny about Peace, Love and Understanding?" Parkening once honored my request for a guide to right hand fingering for Cantata 147. His reply was filled with a kind, generous and non-judgmental spirit. He took the time to try and help this fellow traveler on the road. Christopher Parkening certainly practices what he preaches. He's got my respect.
@1903ranthony Hello 1903ranthony...I'm confused about what you are trying to say, I think Jesus IS a good role model. If you disagree with this, I'm willing to discuss. Christopher Parkening gets a lot of flack for his belief. In my experience with him which is admittedly small, he has been honest and helpful. I'm a better guitarist thanks to his generosity. I think he strives to live life in a manner befitting someone who professes belief in Jesus' teachings.
@dontpooponmeplease He is at Pepperdine University, at Seaver College. That might be a place to start. He was quick to answer my email. I can't remember where I got the original email. He still has artistic management as well. I found him to be very encouraging.
If Jesus was all about Peace and Love, why did his followers spread so much violence? It's a tragic religion that keeps people from thinking and continues to ignore science in favor of fairy tales. Many Christians are so smug that they will kill you if you don't believe their way. Hoiw does it get "worse" than centuries of bloodshed between Protestants and Catholics...and Christians and Muslims? Clearly you have blinders on.
@Rexicano My belief has allowed me to see clearly, on the contrary. It is a difficult road to follow. The whole "God is on OUR side" thing is NOT Christian. Hating somebody for their color or sexual preference or nationality is NOT Christian. Jesus eschewed violence, and didn't say to ignore science. He approached this world with an open mind and heart. There are many Christian organizations that do humanitarian work at great peril to their own lives.
My friend Dan Crary the great Blue Grass flat pick guitarist said that when you practice it does no good to practice a long time if you are not focused. You must have an objective and focus on what you are learning. To practice five hours making the same mistake over and over is a waste of time and you are teaching yourself the mistake not how to fix it. Another thing performing makes perfect not practice. The practice part makes it so you feel like you can perform it. Then record it.

@MrBossdr880 Yea, I like that comment. It's as if you lack talent you can compensate with practice and perseverance. However, if you lack discipline there's no remedy.
If he hadn't referred to GAWD, that would be one of my favourite videos.

A good guitar, D'addrio Strings (high tension) and a little help from our Savoir Jesus Christ is the key to classical guitar success.

Practice takes self discipline, dedication, and interest. Talent helps although is not needed.
