Susan I'm a Guitar Teacher for 20 years and I like your material i want to buy a copy of your book but can you dedicate it, I admire how you deal with morons in here asking about your sexuality. What it really matters is the course. I really admire you I will tell my students to get your copy.

[leadcatpress]

Thanks. I don't know if you were one of the folks who recently bought a book from the website - but if you were, I did not get your message in time to sign it. Have your students buy your copy, and then send me a message with your name and I'll send you a signed copy.

Hey Susan

Great lessons, very professional. I was thinking about purchasing your book and was wondering what I can expect from my playing when I have completed it?

[leadcatpress]

That's a great question, and a common one. It is not one that I can answer without knowing your previous music training, practice habits, strengths, weaknesses and goals. It's really your teacher's job to answer for you.

If you master all the concepts and exercises in the book, your playing will bring you more satisfaction and you will have a greater understanding of music on the guitar. It is up to you and your teacher to decide what to do with all that knowledge. The sky is the limit!

please can you make a lesson on how to create your own songs...i've been playing the guitar for about a year on my own and i believe i have reached a really satisfying level...i can even read standard notation,not very fast though...anyway,i have so many ideas but i can't figure out a way to combine them in order to create a song...also,i would like you to teach me how to create a rock guitar solo...i would be grateful if you uploaded a lesson for me...P.S.i play the electric guitar

[gu88766]

i know because i was one of your students. i just followed the link from your facebook. =)

[leadcatpress]

I did, but I was so disappointed with the guitar program, that I changed my major to English and Philosophy.
