Hi, New member Rick Drevet here.

I've been subscribed to Robert on YouTube for over a year. I've found your instruction of more value than many other online. True heart and soul in your playing and teaching. Time to jump in full time. I am a long time Classic Rock guy moving towards Blues. 

Any suggestion how best to progress through the many lessons offered?

Rick

Rick,

Welcome aboard. I think you are in for some good fun and playing! There are a lot of great lessons to choose from. It's hard to say how to progress through them, especially without seeing you play. 

I think if you post a video of your playing, Robert will likely chime in with some very useful ideas for you.

Rick, 

That sure was quick! I'm looking forward to watching you video but... unfortunately it isn't working for me. I'm not sure what the problem is. I even tried copying the link to a new web page but still I get no response.

Just thought I should let you know. Robert will likely fix it up, when he has a chance.

Where are you from? I'm in NH ... northeast USA.

Chris, not sure why it's not working. I can only hear the audio, no video. it is an MP4 file. Not up on my video tech.

I am from Missouri, just outside St. Louis in St. Peters.

Welcome Rick

Thank you for your first sample of your playing.  

I agree with Chris: that was a quick start to full speed! Sounds excellent. One hears that you have a lot of experience!

You said that you find Robert’s instructions of more value than many other online. I can only agree with you. I’m a beginner and I‘m here since August 2020 and I love to find my way with Robert’s lessons.

I really appreciate if you share your playing with us.

And all the information on things you're working on you can put into your practice log.

Birgit

Rick,

My apologies, I guess I am the only one your video is not working for! I do not get audio or video. I will have to take the other folks word on it and say... Nicely done Great job! 😉

Hey Rick, that sounds awesome, brother!

You sound pretty advanced already, so I think you might want to dig into some solos like, for example, https://www.masterguitaracademy.com/course/12-bar-blues-solo-advanced/ or https://www.masterguitaracademy.com/course/you-got-to-help-me/ or https://www.masterguitaracademy.com/course/robben-ford-style-funky-blues/

If you want some more theory behind the way I think about blues soloing, take a look at https://www.masterguitaracademy.com/course/scales-you-can-use-when-you-play-the-blues/  

Do explore the courses on your own too, to see what interests you.

Jim, these past 8 months or so, it seems more like the Twilight Zone... than anywhere else!
