Well Steve we don’t need to have a big introduction kind of thing because we already have become friends through the forum. I am obviously very excited about our match up and hope you are as well. Right now I just want to wait on the syllabus that should be posted soon and look that over. I will come up with a game plan for us and we can discuss it from there.
A few things I want us both to get out of this if nothing else is to have a whole lot of fun, show you what a great player you can become and develop a good honest friendship built on trust. I will always back up my reasons with truths and won’t mislead you in any way. If we can do this then we both win even if the end result is I don’t get help from Muris. All I ask is you take this time to do something for you. I know your really busy with GMC and your family at home but you need to dedicate some time for you my friend. This is about your playing not mine. You will be very surprised with your results in the end.
"Think of a guitar solo as a paragraph. You need a clear beginning, a middle, and an end. Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato

What's up Jeff,
I have here and all it's glory, a take on the Strumming and Arpeggio's lesson. I went through about 20 takes @ 50bpm and chose to give you the worst one so you can see where I'm really at with it which is nowhere... I promise that by the end of this 4 week period, I will have this lesson at 100bpm..
Oh and forgive me for the bit at the end, I forgot to trim that off.. I warn you, it is not pretty and this should be the first lesson completed by a beginner...Mandatory GMC Regulations!
