Michael - I'm a new student of yours, an intermediate player, who has found your courses invaluable. My primary objective is to get good enough to play with my son, a Berklee grad, and actually contribute to the music, at least not get in the way of it. My second objective is to learn to fake some sounds similar to my second favorite guitar player- Ry Cooder. I love this recording and it seems a bit more within reach than most of his work - can you get me started? I truly enjoy your courses- they are helping me get better.
