Hi Mr. Barrett-

Man, Gary's Blues is really a big step up from the past study songs huh? I am having a hard time getting all of the techniques right while trying to stay in time. I have been working on this piece for a month now. I still can't play it to sound perfect. :(

Each study song is designed to generally take two weeks per chorus... so two and a half months for this. Take your time, you'll get it!

Thanks. I want to get to LOA5

Thanks. I want to get to LOA5 by the end of this year. I am not sure if I can make it happen now. But it's worth taking the time to really get the techniques down.
