  It costs monthly to maintain this site, and a lot of time to create this material for you.  If you think it's worth it, help the old man out.  If not, you're welcome anyway.

    

I'm giving private lessons now in improvisation for Guitar.

The knowledge can be applied to Composition or any style you want to play.

There's some things that can't be taught unless they're taught hand to hand.

Plus, I have to get to know you.

We all learn in different ways, and have different strengths.
