My oldest son has autism and he's musically gifted.  I realized that if I want to communicate with him, I need to learn music.  So I decided to challenge the lie 9 months ago and got a guitar.


I have spent the last 9 months in lessons and practicing at least 1 hour a day.  Now.... I can play music!


My instructor doesn't really know what to do with me.  I am so motivated and my work ethic is impeccable.  I really think I need the structure of Guitar Tricks curriculum.  I'm also looking forward to this forum.


I'm ready to continue this journey with y'all.  Let's ROCK!

That's a great story!  Welcome to GT.


Good luck and have fun.
