Mentoring instrucotrs (at the moment Gabriel and Todd) are instructors who take care of overall forum feedback on a daily basis. This means you can count on a reasonably fast responses and regular care of your playing progress. In past some other instrustors have been leading mentoring program as well...me and Ben for example, but at the moment we are not available due to our external duties. That's why you can see more instructors in the mentoring forum section. At the same time it's worth mentioning that many other instructors do visit the site quite often and you can always try to catch them through Private Message or forum...or just writting your question below the lessons. Even if some instructor is not available anymore, you can still count on feedback from any other instructor, because will all do see your activity and follow you to be able to help. I for example, may not be able to respond the same day you'll request for help, but I always do respond and it's usually within few days. If you have any question directly too me, please don't hesitate to write me a PM.

It is not necessary to have professional recording gear, to post a rec take. Phone video can be enough as long, as we can see both of your hands and we can clearly hear your guitar. Best solution in this case is to have all sound sources directed in the same direction. Otherwise phase cancellation will make your audio sound like with phaser on.

No matter who will lead your mentoring, you can choose from all the lessons, not only those from instructor you choose. Of course it's usually a matter of instructors advices because someone has to judge if a lesson is proper for your level. That's of course just a suggestion and no one will even make you do anything without your approvement smile.gif Of course learning a lesson made by author, who is your mentor at the same time, gives the ability to help you even better - more details to capture and ease of explanation how some "hand mechanics" worked for a particular lesson.
