Great material!! I'm really having a good time with it! This last lesson is going great! Man I just love that 'Wes Lives' thing!

- Jim Hahn (CA)

Received the first lesson Friday. I am highly impressed! Your positive, well organized method really is one to one... thank you. I think I finally have found the coach I've been looking for.

Mark, watch me develop. I know it is going to happen... I feel it. I am prepared to do the work. YES!!!!!!!!!!

I must say, it's a breath of fresh air to come across a teacher as organized as yourself and I can see that you have put a lot of time and effort into it. If I had come across a teacher like you ten years ago I could have learned things a lot more efficiently than I did. Music is going great, in fact it's never been better.

I want to say that I think we are going to hit it off! I really liked your acoustic demo section on the tape. Some very cool playing. My wife also liked your playing a lot. It's nice to know that you have a solid background in classical guitar as well as jazz.

- Alan Wedin (AZ)

Thanks for the lesson - I'm digging the tunes! I ran through the song a few times, and tried the first Stevie Ray riff. Great stuff!

You seem to give me just enough information to help me find out the theory I need, without giving it away. This is really helpful. I continue to learn the fretboard a bit more each time.

- Mike Whalen (WA)

I'm thrilled so far. Your material seems great and your response time and level of attention is fantastic. So thanks for everything so far and I look forward to working on the next lesson.

Well I finally found a jazz teacher. Why is it so hard to find good jazz teachers? I'm having a blast with the blues jazz progression. This is great stuff. Having a great time.

I started to check out this new guitar and was playing a song I put together from the licks and progression from your first lesson. After I was done I heard a voice from behind me saying 'Nice jazz young man.'

- Jim Falk (FL)

I immensely appreciate the personalized approach you are taking -- the lengths to which you go to make these lessons a fruitful experience can be felt in every single word. I can feel the inspiration already.

Lesson #2 arrived yesterday. I love it! I haven't been this motivated in years. 'The Sweet Alice Blues' just kills. It is just what I needed to help with practicing the standard jazz blues progression.

All in all, Mark, I can say that your approach to teaching, and the methods you use, are just what I've been looking for. I wish our paths had crossed twenty years ago. I am having more fun with music than I've had in a long time.

- Michael Seay (CA)

I received my first lesson yesterday and I just want to let you know I am pleased. I didn't expect the lessons to be personalized. I have seen examples of other "through the mail lessons" and they are nothing more than off the shelf, one size fits all, commercialized packages.

- Michael Schrinel (VA)

I'm very satisfied with the current direction you've taken with the lessons. This third lesson is "smokin!"

- Jim Rutkowski (NJ)

Thanks Coach! I stayed up late on Friday to learn the 'C Jam Blues.' Wow I am playing chords on the bass in lesson #1!!! Pretty cool.

I listened to the tape; I appreciate the personal touch on side A. Your guitar playing was beautiful. You definitely like a variety of music, like me. I think you hit the nail on the head with guessing my skill level. These lessons were 'just enough' challenging.

- John Anderson (IL)

I received the lesson yesterday and played through it last night. I was impressed with your conscientiousness and the quality of your materials. I liked the samples of your playing a lot. I feel very good about these lessons so far and can't wait to see what comes next!

The care and effort you take in making your tapes and transcriptions is apparent - they are the finest materials of this type I have seen.

- Kevin Langdon (CA)

Well, the jury is in. Your first lesson is all I had hoped for and more. It is an excellent combination of a challenging jazz guitar arrangement, music theory, technique suggestions, and quality presentation.
