Great idea. :)

I've heard it mentioned as a project for the future. But for now, I have lots of theory covered. And Ren is doing a good job in addressing the basics in an academic, methodical manner in the newsletter.

I put some appropriate links in each lesson of the music theory overview tutorial. But, you are absolutely right: eventually there should be a completely ordered, organized course. And eventually there will be. For now, if you have a theory question, please ask!

I've actually picked up new ways of looking at things(Such as major and minor scales - previously I only viewed them from the 5 basic shapes(Fretboard logic - CAGED system). Although they are the same, I don't feel as boxed in on them the way you present them

Good for you! And thanks for the positive feedback.

On last question - have you done any lessons for a musician who plays both lead and rhythm (One guitarist in band).

Try this for a basic approach:

I have an updated HD version of that done. I hope to have it ready to replace those old vids next week.

After that, try these:

Not precisely separate lead and rhythm parts, but a way to understand how to separate those things and fill in more sound as a single guitarist. Essentially, I do that type of thing and then intersperce it with fills when I play in a similiar context. Fills like these:

http://www.guitartricks.com/tutorial.php?input=244
http://www.guitartricks.com/tutorial.php?input=185

I will consider doing lessons that aim more precisely at that topic however. It is a great idea.
