    Brian, You have no idea how invaluable I find your web site. I am now a young 74 year old, absolutely adore the guitar and over my earlier years, went to many guitar lessons on and off.
    Like you say, I am one of those very frustrated guitar players who know all of the chords and many variations, all my scales incl. blues scales etc etc. I haven’t played in a group since back in the 3 chord skiffle days in the 1950’s. Simply don’t know what to do with my knowledge!
    You have changed all that for me, you have given me the will to live! I love anything to do with the blues.

    Thank you Brian, thank you so very much!

    Brian R
