Thought you might be interested. Jump to 13:02


This outline is in step with his current course, but never the less, it touches on solid fundamentals in a one sheet format.

Hey Bill:


I checked out the link you sent to me. I went to the 13.02 mark as you indicated, (see!!!  I told you I am good with following clear, structured, instructions! 😁).


I did notice the “paper sheet” you mentioned. I couldn’t read it very well. So I looked to see if I could print it. That’s when I noticed he had a patreon page. Have you pursued that aspect of his offerings?


I went back through our messages, posts, forum, thread, or whatever silly name is associated with this specific type of communication we got going on here. haha. I did notice your comments about Korey’s lessons being a bit… perhaps “geared for” an audience that is not all inclusive? Not sure if my interpretation of what you said is accurate. I mention it because as I was looking at the specific video you referred me to, I noticed it was “week 17” of his “learning guitar in a year” program. From only the “perception” of how I picture that approach, it sounds right up my alley. BUT! I do admit to me taking a “judging a book by its cover” mindset.


unfortunately, (realizing this only hurts myself), it still “sticks in my craw” thinking of all the time and effort I put into crafting a series of messages to GT, including labeled screenshots showing the differences in the way GT displays info based on which “approach” one takes to ascertain the same information. And getting a reply that indicating my message was not read in its entirety, was frustrating to say the least. Especially when the point I was making was not only geared for myself, but applied to other subscribers, as well as providing valuable feedback to GT which was far more descriptive, and far less costly = $0  (for them financially), RE: marketing. Though GT may have taken a bit of a hit in its reputation.


And yes! (This is not directed at you Bill), rather others that may have started reading this “thread” at this point. I did acknowledge in a previous message that I do realize ALL approaches (eventually) lead to the same place. However, why not (GT folk) take the time to ensure precision, independent of path chosen to reach that ”same place”? And by precision, I am using the definition of the word in scientific applications. Which means “repeatability”. More specifically, how close a group of measurements, in a data set, are to each other. Hence my application of the term for GT, Independent of whether one elects to use the website or app, the precision (repeatability) should result in same clicks, same screens, same result”. Doing so would take more time and effort  (hmmmm… where did I see that before? 🤔),  on the part of GT, but I would like to believe as a business, they would want satisfied customers, as that leads to increased profits.
