February 24, 2012,

Another stunning day here in Northern California… which frequently
leads to scattered and disorganized Weekly News Reviews.

In a nutshell-

Our main Target releases this week stayed with developing themes: The
Guess Who, Damien Rice, and Buddy Holly. The lessons were on No Time,
Older Chests, and one of Buddy’s biggest, Not Fade Away. The last song
being covered by The Rolling Stones and The Grateful Dead, to name a
few.

We sat in on lessons with my students Fred and Jacob, concentrating on
adding vocals to a strumming song (Me And You And A Dog Named Boo by
Lobo), and working on arpeggio picking (House Of The Rising Sun). As
many Fly On The Wall lessons do, Jacob and I got sidetracked into a
couple of Doors songs as well.

This week we also added a couple Student Reviews, looking at the
Classical Gas and Strawberry Fields Forever. I am starting to get more
time to devote to these right now so please add yours while this phase
is running more consistently.

…back to practicing on this beautiful day…

Stay Tuned & In Touch,

Neil
