Get Written Feedback On Your Guitar Playing

Here is how to get written feedback on your guitar playing:

Step 1: You send me a recording of your guitar playing (if you aren't sure what to play - see "Common Questions" below).

You may send a new recording every 4 weeks if you are a Gold or Platinum guitar student, and every 12 weeks if you are a Silver student.

Step 2: I post my feedback to you on this part of the forum 2-4 days later. (Please check the forum regularly to see when I post your feedback.)

Step 3: You apply my feedback and become a better guitarist a lot faster :)

By submitting your info, you agree to send it to Tom Hess Music Corporation who will process and use it according to their privacy policy.

Use mp3 format for audio, and mp4, .mov or .mpeg formats for video.

Please make your recording under 50 megabytes in size. (If you don't know how, see "Common Questions" below.)

Common Questions:

What Should I Play On The Recording?

Play anything you want me to give you feedback on. Don’t overthink it :)

Tip: Don’t record things that are easy for you to play. Play something you haven’t yet mastered (show me all of your mistakes). This way you get the most benefit from my feedback to you.

What Equipment Do I Need To Record Myself?

You can easily record a video using a smartphone or a webcam from your computer. You don’t need to buy any special equipment or software.

Note: it’s important that I see your entire body in the video and that I can hear your guitar playing clearly.

How Long Should My Recording Be?

Please try to keep your recording under 5 minutes in length.

I Recorded A Video, But It Is Way Bigger Than 50 Megabytes In Size! What Should I Do?

Use a free program called Handbrake (find it on Google) to compress your video (without losing quality). Here is a video tutorial on how to use Handbrake to compress your video.

I Don’t Know How To Convert My Video To .Mp4, .Mov Or .Mpeg Format! What Should I Do?

Use a free program called Handbrake (find it on Google) to compress your video and convert it into the right format.

I'm Afraid To Let You (Tom Hess) And Your Other Students Hear Me Make Mistakes! What Should I Do?

You are not alone. Most of my students have felt the same way. Here is why you have nothing to fear:

There isn’t one mistake you can possibly make in your guitar playing that I haven’t already seen or heard thousands of times before :)

This means I can help you become a better guitarist very quickly, fix your mistakes and not struggle anymore.

Every advanced guitarist was once at your level (and below your level). Everybody understands what it’s like to not be an advanced guitarist yet and everyone (myself included) respects your effort to improve your playing.

The more often you send recordings to me for feedback, the faster you improve… and the better you will feel about yourself as a guitarist :)

I look forward to hearing and seeing you play soon!

To your success,

Tom Hess
