Just ordered Spyder's CD

ShawnS · June 6th, 2003, 03:25 PM

After hearing much about how great that CD is and knowing how bad I can make a Tele sound,

I have ordered the beloved CD. Thanks to the TDPer's for sharing such valuable information. I would love to take lessons, but can't find a instructor close to home. I live in kind of a rural area. There are teachers around here, but most are focused on beginners. I need a teacher to help me learn to play my own stuff. I know it's in there. I just can't get it to the fretboard. :( I been asked to play with a good band with a good rep. So it is imperative that I learn to improvise. Like NOW!

The nail in the coffin was the whole GP thing. I’m always skeptical of videos and stuff. I have a large collection of videos that are either way too advanced or just plain (choice of word here). Anyway looking forward to hearing the CD. Thanks again for putting me on to this CD. I'm sure it will help me out of this rut......Ho!(Is that gimmick infringement?)

I found it very beneficial, 'course I'm still a long way from being competent.

It's good stuff- you'll enjoy it! Thanks to Spyder for making it available to us- nobody I know around here plays like he does, so it's a great way to learn.

Spyders CD is a great instructional tool and I'm really enjoying learning from it. I just started track # 3 last night. I'm taking it at my own pace and trying to make sure I have somewhat of a grasp of what each track teaches before I move on to the next. I can't say enough good things about it!

I found the cross-picking stuff to be exceptionally beneficial. I had already got my pick and middle finger going, but Spyder's really got my ring finger involved, and that's a big key to being able to pull off those percussive country runs...

Highly recommended from me, too.

Ho....for the most part I'm a person that has to be *pushed* to do things.....the medical field calls it low self esteem...I call it laziness with a hint of apathy....its probably the reason I never took my playin' skills to more fertile ground..... I was more or less *pushed* into recording the tutorial several years ago....and have to be pushed to say anything about it.....my CD has gotten good reviews as far as I know...I try my best to teach methodology folks need to know....other than the little site I have, I've never tried to *push* the disc to a higher level...haven't asked for links from this site or others....haven't approached any publishing firms....I didn't even mention it to GP mag, which BTW I was *pushed* by my wife and daughter to pursue....the disc is what it is, strickly a teachin' method....if folks are interested they have to hit my site or ask a 3rd party for information...or email me I reckon...later, spyder
