Matt and I had no idea that this would take off like it did and become such a part of so many people&#8217;s lives. I certainly did not think it would be the career change, or twist that it became for me. Today&#8217;s recap started with a few thanks to some of the folk who keep the wheels turning around here, followed by a few thoughts and stories.<\/p>\n<p>I hope everybody has had a chance to check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/target-songs\/tegs-max-rich.html\">lessons from Max Rich<\/a>. He has a lot of good info on a few topics that I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll find interesting. There are a bunch of great lessons over at his site, <a href=\"http:\/\/totallyelectricguitars.com\/\">TotallyElectricGuitars<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I also want to specifically thank Vanessa for her series of lessons. There are over 100 now!<\/p>\n<p>A few other things I brought up were our recent move into the world of DVDs, and a little <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/forum\/159-international-guitar-camp.html\">IGC<\/a> update. Our DVD plan was hatched due to requests from students that didn&#8217;t always want to be tied to the computer for lessons. We have started with a few select packages of related material, including <a href=\"https:\/\/bigbagblues.com\/squeeze-page8278742\">a great blues set from Max<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I addressed a question from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.totallyguitars.com\/forum\">Forum<\/a> about the usefulness of practicing in performance mode, or videoing your progress. This led me to a couple very big suggestions for all students.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there was a lot of no playing going on due to the finger injury healing very slowly. Instead you&#8217;ll have to settle for the 250 pound TV story. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon.<\/p>\n<p>Happy New Year!<\/p>\n<p>Neil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn to play guitar with Lessons from Totally Guitars!
