Mr. Schlegel and staff.

SO here i was today, surfing the net, checking a few video's on YouTube and such, trying to emulate a few players productions out there when I stumbled across one of your adds.

I've been "playing" (not making music - playing as in goofing around, a few chords here, a lick or two there, maybe a whole song on a REALLY good day) off and on for about 8 or 9 years. Actually until recently, I hardly touched a guitar in about 2 since my old Yamaha was crushed during a move (case and all... what a sad day - almost like losing a pet or something). I picked up a new Peavey accoustic about a week ago, as I work away from home quite a bit again now and need something to do in my down time in the old hotel rooms out here.

So back to today - popped into the site, checked out your free examples and said to myself, "Oh yeah - memberships going to cause some pain in the pocketbook." There was no doubt in my mind I was joining despite any cost. The actual subscription price just made my week, and I've learned more in 9 minutes than in the last 9 years on my own.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you again. Easily the most value on anything I've ever laid a credit card down for EVER.

Oh - and thanks hey.

I agree, this site is a goldmine. I really feel like I'm getting the most I possibly can out of my practice time, and all for the price of a 2 lunches at McDonald's per month. I love how clean and organized it all is, and that there are new videos being created all the time.


One idea I thought I'd toss out is to have another higher level of membership where the member could submit, say, 4 videos per month of their fingerwork while playing/practicing and get feedback from one of the instructors. Just a random thought.

I'll jump on the bandwagon here and wholeheartedly agree with the original poster. While I came into this with no experience at all, what I've learned in the past few weeks has been nothing short incredible!

I've started and stopped learning guitar numerous times before in my life and I tried everything from books to videos to teachers and nothing seemed to fit the way I like to learn. The way GT is setup, it fits my learning style perfectly. The best part is the flexibility that it affords. You learn at your own pace through just the right combination of written and video instruction. You can progress linearly, or if you feel like it skip back, forwards, laterally, whatever! Total freedom to put as much or as little into as you want. Perfect for those of us that work, have families and other obligations.

Amazing...and all for $10!!

Keep up the good work!!

Enjoy!


Does this include the innards of the guitar itself? I have this strat that has been sitting on my rack for the last few months because of an annoying buzz I get. I've established that it is definitely more than the normal buzz you get from passive pickups and is more than likely something to do with the wiring and/or shielding.

I've looked through some websites, one of which was suggested by a GT forum user. These sites are great and highly detailed but I don't want to start pulling things apart and re-wiring without the ability to ask questions along the way. I should really take it to a certified guitar tech but a guitar tech is who originally put the pickups in the strat to begin with, and since then the guitar has been unuseable. I honestly just don't have the time to get to a guitar shop to drop it off, and since my main strat guitar is working fine, I tend to just leave it sitting there.

I really love that blue strat because of the ultra thin neck and it also has a distinctly different sound than my main strat. The website I was directed to is perhaps a little daunting to me as it requires me to totally rewire the entire guitar to achieve a lower-than-normal buzz. All I want is something that will bring it back to a normal single-coil buzz... I don't mind a little buzz.. as this is the nature of passive pickups.
