Except for getting to see it on a daily basis. I'm hoping to have a few Guitar Noise Seminars here in the fall, so maybe you can see it in person.

I've been trying to decide between a number of Nirvana songs for a future "Easy Songs for Beginners" lesson, and this one's definitely on the list of possibilities. Hopefully sometime before summer... Peace Hi Casey

And thanks for the kudos concerning my lessons at Guitar Noise. I’ve been trying to decide between a number of Nirvana songs for a future “Easy Songs for Beginners” lesson, and this one’s definitely on the list of possibilities.

Hopefully sometime before summer…

I would like to request a lesson on About a Girl by Nirvana as one of the easy songs for beginners. I don't know how easy it is but I see it advertised as an easy one and would like to be able to play it. Emphasis on easy please. Thanks. Sincerely, Casey Daivd,

I'm thrilled to hear about your progress (if one's wife or family hears a difference, it's usually a good thing!) and I hope you stick with the guitar. Frustration over the perceived lack of progress is probably the biggest obstacle anyone faces when taking up something like making music. And usually the lack of progress is a matter of perception. Whenever you pick up the guitar and make even one chord change, you're helping yourself along the path to learning more and getting better. As for a book for acoustic beginners, I am (and have been for a while now) trying to get some publishers interested in a book along the style of the Guitar Noise lessons. So far no takers. But I'm going to keep trying. Thanks again for your comment and I look forward to hearing how things are progressing with you. Peace Hi Fletch

Since following your lessons ( your style of teaching is so perfect for me to follow ) i've really noticed a difference and developed a belief in the possibility i may eventually become competent with the guitar .....this has been backed up for me by my wife saying she really has noticed a difference..... would love to know if you have any plans to produce a book for for the acoustic beginner....many thanks from England David as with the previous comments thanks for all your hard work…… i unfortunately suffer from a lack of determination and concentration and i tend to put a lot of effort into practicing and then inexplicably i lose interest because of my poor progress…… Since following your lessons ( your style of teaching is so perfect for me to follow ) i’ve really noticed a difference and developed a belief in the possibility i may eventually become competent with the guitar …..this has been backed up for me by my wife saying she really has noticed a difference….. would love to know if you have any plans to produce a book for for the acoustic beginner….many thanks from England

Can't remember how I got there...but I am sure glad it exposed you to me. As a beginner, I cannot fully express how much of a help that one lesson was... amazing. I will now be digging for more and more of your content. Thank you so much for allowing me to sponge up a bit of your knowledge and experience, and thank you for putting it out there in a "I love music so much I want you to be able to enjoy it too" fashion that is elementary while coming across as "you can do it" instead of condescending or arrogant. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Greg David:
