.......I've gotten further with your FMB download than with any other form of instruction. Well done!
......Dear Ross, I am so glad to have found your site. I purchased your 18 song package about a month ago and can already play your arrangement of Cripple Creek at a moderate tempo. I really cannot imagine a better or more complete way to learn an instrument than using your online video lessons with supporting pdf, midi, and tableture files. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques and making learning easy and fun.
