When I was 6, my grandpa showed me some simple G, C and D chords. It stuck, and as a leftie who plays righty,(on my grandpa's advice) I could always mimic things pretty easily. I just kinda winged it until the 1st Van Halen record came out, at which point I devoured every guitar related morsel I could find, yet I didn't really start seriously studying until much later in life. I enrolled in a "Music Vo-Tech" and had a bad experience....it was mediocre instructors turning out mediocre students...suffice to say I didn't graduate. After drifting for a few more years I searched the web and found Tom Hess. My experience with Tom has been excellent. His insight to perfecting technique is spot on, and his lessons are motivating, concise and very useful. My favorite thing about Tom's lessons is really the Forum. I don't have a lot of people to judge my playing due to my rural location, so it's always a kick to hear what all the people on the Forum have to say. All in all, this has been, by far, my best lesson experience.
