Performance
The
Importance Of Having A Repertoire -
By Jamie Andreas
The reason many players don't have a repertoire
is: 1) Nobody told them how important it is,
and 2) Nobody told them how to GET one, 3) it
is EASIER to leave things half finished, in
pieces, than to put it together.
Express
Yourself - By Tom Hess
Virtually any process you use to create
music is valid. However the typical way in which
guitarists try to create is very limiting and,
even worse, tends not to work well for descriptive
self expressive purposes. .

"By far the most innovative and effective
ear training program for guitarists I have seen! Simply the
best learning method to come along since Jamie Abersold. Chris
has hit on something really good and much needed today Players
of my generation learned to play on the bandstand as we were
forced to "play what we heard" and if we didn't,
we had to get it together pretty darn quick. This course will
help speed up that learning process rapidly. I will recommend
this course to my students highly!" - Ron
