"When I first came across The Principles, I knew my life would be easier. I recommend the book as soon as people inquire about instruction, so they show up for their first lesson better off than most students are after a few years of lessons.
The combination of this material and good instruction is sure to elevate the level of guitar playing everywhere.
Once the students are familiar with "The Principles", when they have trouble with a passage, I can easily suggest what kind of practice to use, what tool to focus on, and where to look for tension. Because we have a common vocabulary, that process is a lot easier...and, by practicing with the students during the lesson, using the proper tools, they see good results every session, and stick with it.
Thanks, Jamie!
