Here’s a list of things you WON’T FIND on this site:
1. Guys with no shirts playing “Enter Sandman” on their fender in their grandma’s basement, and calling it a “guitar lesson” (no offense if you live with your grandma — I’m sure she is sweet)
2. Guitar Teachers with egos the size of Texas that are more concerned with “how good they are” then how good you can be.
3. Obnoxious banner ads that say “Punch the Pop Star and Win” or pop ups that are so scandalous they could get you fired, slapped, or divorced.
4. No Hollywood Hype or BS — This site was created by a struggling guitar player, who struggles no more, thanks to a few great teachers and a ton of awesome videos.

I have a metronome but never really took the time to learn how to use it, thanks for the lesson. This site is one of the best I have seen for guitar tips.
Killer lessons, much appreciated. I was sick of wasting so much time on youtube. You guys rock!
Drew, you are a great teacher. I have taken private lessons before and some teachers are just horrible. You make the videos easy to understand and this time I think I will stick to the guitar for a long time:)
Drew, its a pleasure to listen to your lessons. I personally hate using a metronome because it distracts me. >.<
I have played the electric baritone ukulele for many years and am fairly
advanced in several genres….however, I would really like to play some
jazz….as you know the baritone uke is tuned the same as the first four
strings of the guitar so it should be a firsly easy transition.
I’m a big Mel Torme’ fan..Looking forward to hearig from you….

None of these lessons really help me. I’m a beginner so it’s really hard to know what you are talking about and I don’t know which videos to start with. But you are really good so you inspire me to keep trying.
Man…this is tough! I found 2 easter eggs, but the last one is crazy hidden!
cool contest! How often do you have contests, and how do I enter…

Please can you post a spanish guitar song named Rumba?
I cant find it anywhere there’s hundreds of rumbas on youtube :S
Thanks
Excellent post. I can only hope others can learn from this.
These are some great tutorials. We have been taking our son for private lessons. He enjoys these videos much more and seems to learn from them faster.
Thanks for saving me $100/month!
Love the site, love the lessons. I am so happy I stumbled upon your site.
