Findlay is one of the best teachers I've ever had the pleasure of learning from...

[NoNoBackdoorJP]

Dude, he's still ALIVE! No Obits here please! LOL

[ferbicus]

@NoNoBackdoorJP I didn't say he was dead.... I simply meant that I had him in a class and he is one of the best teachers I've ever had....

[NoNoBackdoorJP]

@ferbicus Cool! Whenever I hear "one of the best ______ I've ever had the pleasure of ; ________ (learning from, knowing, meeting, etc)", it's usually about a person who passed away. Sorry 'bout dat.

[stareman]

He gets a swinging-good-feeling-sound out of that Heritage guitar, alright.

[NoNoBackdoorJP]

Yes He Does! You may already know that most PLAYAS have more than one, depending on the sound and tone they need to generate.

Sounds great Jamie! Your solos are always so heartfelt. Great to see you play again. I missed hearing you since being at MI this past year.

@armanpour335 Just to let you know, Jamie is a REAL NICE GUY! Again, I repeat, Jamie is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet! If you have any interpretation or other questions, he's NOT like Beethoven (dead and deaf), I'm sure he will correspond with you about them. If you're in the OC, you can come to Cal Poly and ask him directly. BTW, Dr. Dave Kopplin and the ZacMan are equally nice guys. If you can't reach Jamie, Dr. Dave or the ZacMan can help.

thanks for upload,awesome player.
