I went a couple of years ago. It wasn't their usual one week intensive. I called the school and Vicki said she could fit me in whenever it was conveient for me. It happened to be a slow time of the year as the long term students were justy finishing up their semester, so I was the only...

I'm disturbed by the image this statement conjurs up... "Stop squirmin' dammit, it's gettin' all over my new seat covers!" :hiding:

That is my understanding Fergie. He said he had started the school to stick close to family and it turned into what is is today. I doubt he could have been run off from his own school! I went for a week last year. Vicky was able to fit me in even though the semester had just ended and most of...

Fixed it for ya. So much win indeed! (ziiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggggg........plop!) As the ripples subside, the fail-fish gather to investigate the latest disturbance in the pond...

XtreO, Good for you on taking this step. It could not have been very easy for you to do. Just be true to yourself and not let what others say affect you. A couple of my friends have come out and both have had some pretty harsh comments thrown their way. Be patient with others who might be...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Bass and Drums needed for trio (Lafayette) "What kind of music are we gonna play? Imagine Leif Ericsson on bass, Moses on drums and Napoleon on guitar. Ok, but seriously whats the plan? A plan is just a list of things that don't happen. When...

This guy rocketed to stardom playing a piece of **** none of us would have paid more than $10 for at a yard sale. :D Invalid Link Removed

I like it. Nice and clean.

LOL. Link Removed "Yeah, I’m a great quitter. It’s one of the few things I do well. I come from a long line of quitters. My father was a quitter, my grandfather was a quitter… I was raised to give up."

Very true. I spent a week at Jeff Berlin's school last year. He picked up my $82 Ebay special Peavey Foundation and played the crap out of it. He handed it back and said "There's not a thing wrong with this instrument". He let me try his custom patchwork Dean and I sounded like my usual...

Uh... no, not really. :) Here's another one of him with a lil' Didgeridoo action. *Note to the squeamish - boobs.*

If it hasn't sold yet, I'll take it. PM headed your way.

The steals on Ebay are fewer and farther between than they used to be, but can still be had. Earlier this year I picked up a mint 2011 Fender American Standard Jazz w/HSC, pickup covers, extra pickguard,... ...for $650. :hyper: Last year I picked a 1997 Peavey Foundation with only a few...

Just my thoughts after attending his One Week course. $900 is too much to pay for a week of learning scales, notes, arpeggios, etc. You can learn that from a book, or video. But that's not what you're really going there for. Your going there to learn 'how to learn'. He will demonstrate...

I recently spent a week at Jeff Berlin’s Player’s School of Music and thought I would share my experiences there. A little background first. I am one of those guys that has always had a guitar laying around, but never really learned how to play other than the most common chords and some...
