Today is a very special day...


- "230 BPM", I hear you think

But you are wrong!

- "280 BPM...?"

Still not right - you are actually heading in the wrong direction, because today I have the honour to introduce the acoustic blues instructor...

I love old Charleston! Lots of great bars and pubs there. Plus there's not many places like it in the US, as far as being historical and all

Welcome John...I was only saying the other day..it would be good to get an acoustic Blues Instructor...Looks like I got more power than I thought!!

Posted by: John Hatcher Jun 13 2013, 03:02 PM

what's up headbanger! so what else could you use that power for? can you turn my amp into a 1952 Fender Twin Reverb? haha!

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jun 13 2013, 03:07 PM

hahaha remember to stay silent if you ever feel very angry.

Posted by: Headbanger Jun 13 2013, 04:45 PM

If I could I'd turn my amp into one first!!




haha...Don't worry Gab no one would ever get angry at you Dude!! Even someone with special powers that manages to summon acoustic Blues Guitar instructors from thin air

Great video! Welcome John

Posted by: John Hatcher Jun 16 2013, 01:06 PM

Hey Yoppe! Nice to meet you too! I saw you're profile vid and your lesson. Great stuff man! I will definitely be working on my electric skills with these lessons from great players like yourself on GMC.

Posted by: thefireball Jun 17 2013, 04:58 AM

Hey John! It's nice to have you here! I'm not as active as I used to be years ago. I am just so busy now, and even though I am a metal/rock guy, acoustic holds a special place in my heart. I see you're from SC - I'm from AR.

I'm sure you're going to unlock a lot of those old secrets for us all here on GMC. Welcome aboard John! As you say, it all goes back to the Blues. I kind of went the opposite way from your story...I went to the Blues first and then to Rock 'n' Roll...now I'm back to the Blues!

Posted by: John Hatcher Jun 18 2013, 02:20 PM

@fran Thanks!

@Brandon We're almost neighbors! Ha! Nice to meet you.

@Mike I've checked out your videos, I'm sure you've got a few secrets yourself

Posted by: Blue Willy Jun 18 2013, 08:51 PM

That I do, thank you very much. I tend to keep them for my paying customers but I will be putting some things up for the GMC folks as soon as I've some spare moments to record some new vids.

I'm looking forward to checking your lessons, the best way to get good is to steal licks wherever one can!
