New young artists say, "Why should I learn music? That's gonna be restricting. That's somebody else's rules." I tell them, "You gotta learn the alphabet, backwards and forwards. And then the choice is yours, 'cause last I looked, the Bible is written in the same words, the exact same alphabet, as my favorite [books]. Choice is yours."
- David Lee Roth

The Journey of the Black Belt Guitar Player
Great guitar players are not born, they are made... one hour of practice at a time. We do not promise quick success, but we do offer a lot of good insights and discoveries into the knowledge and skills of great players who gain their status by earning it. These are players that know all the basics, inside and out, but more than knowing, they embody great playing. They play mean lean and clean guitar, and push the boundaries of their own styles. They know music, and they know their instruments. They do it all, day in and out. These are black belt players. Maybe they are famous, maybe not. Maybe you know someone who is a true black belt guitarist... and maybe this is you!
Forum: Announcements Topic:Back from the Ashes! Text: We are very sorry to report that during a routine move of our site from one server to another, our hosting service provider managed to delete 5 years of user forum interactions among our cherished members, and poor backup and recovery management made it impossible to recover the lost database. As a result, all of our member posts have been deleted, and we are starting our forums over from scratch.
For us, this was devastating news, and we are doing everything we can to restablish the user forums, and other database-driven features on our website, and sincerely hope that our more than 1000 members will be able to rejoin our forums soon.
Please continue to enjoy the free lessons, and come back often as we re-establish links with our partners, and while we get the forums going again.
