Teacher Interviews
I like the interviews where the player is also a teacher. I think they sometimes provide a little extra insight as they've answered related questions throughout their career so they've seen more of what a student might need compared to the experience of a pure touring and recording pro. So far I'm enjoying Gary Smith, Gary Primich (RIP) and Dennis Gruenling. Are there others you could recommend who fit that model?
The list is great and giving it an order make it even more so. Though I don't think he had a teaching role in San Jose I did sit beside Richard in one of your seminars and got to talk to him briefly. The other top 3 were all there as well and I was fortunate to have attended something from each of them. Joe in particular is not only a great player but he's got that vibe going that makes you believe!
No doubt. The ones that have teaching experience have a lot to offer. Of those three you mention, Dennis Gruenling has the most teaching experience, just to give you some perspective. I think you'll enjoy the following videos, they are more from a teacher's perspective... in the order that I list.
