Let me guess...........GuitarTricks probably loves getting notes such as this from its members!!?? Just a guess..........but seriously...........Mike's super as are many of your instructors like Tom and Christopher and Dave..........tons of insight and energy plus concern added in all their lessons...........I myself endured many decades of closed minded almost secretive guitarists that never cared to share so much as a single lick concept let alone a complete song with multi layers.........it's really super and these guys all definitely approach all this as a passion and not just a job........which truly is superior!! Not saying they'd all do this too long without their new guitar strings and beer money but......still with all the passion and dedication that cannot really be bought!! Jim C.
