I agree.
A lot of these players are new to me.
It's interesting having a guitar instructed from L.A.
It brings a whole different groups in influences in to the picture.
And being a touring musician, he hears more new stuff in his travels and brings it to my attention. It's pretty cool.
Sometimes, well spend more time talking about music than learning to play. That's fine because I see that as part of the curriculum.
I stopped the classes a while back, but I think I need to get back into them again soon.
