Yeah, Grossman rocks. Get his DVDs - they come with tabs and other useful stuff. They usually have lots of good historical footage of the original blues men doing the tunes too - worth the price just for that. Grossman has really spent the time to study *exactly* how the originals were done, warts and all. His respect for their art really comes through.

Teachers don't come better than Stefan. It's like having a kindly uncle looking out for you every step of the way. Thanks 'uncle' Stef...:-)

P.S. Check out his for sale DVDs on the web site. Best range of learning DVDs you'll find.

I love his videos, even if they remind me of Bob Ross. "You can put a happy little tree over here."

I now own a few of Stefan's DVDs. I have to say, after spending £££s over the years on tuition books, cds, dvds, each of Stefan's DVDs that I own have been worth their weight in gold. The man is a great teacher, great player, and has introduced me to some great great tunes. Acoustic blues is now my favourite style, and I am a better player for having bought, and persevered at practicing, his stuff.

See what you can do if you practice. Dont wish for it, you need to have a go and it will seem strange for a little while, but as you practice more and more IT WILL GET easier and then you can do it also. Have fun. PS: You need to practice at least 3 hours a day. Also "A Well Setup Solid Top Guitar" will make it happen much faster than a Guitar that you got from a second hand shop. The Neck and Action MUST be in Spec. Its called. A Professional Setup and Im sure Stefans Guitar is also in spec.

@metallica04100 Sit in front of the tv with the guitar and just make it go ping pong between the bass notes. In no time it starts to go on autopilot.
