They put the jam band in the right speaker, and the harmonica and lesson vocals in the other. In a weeks time, I was sounding like I had been playing for months, and more importantly, I'm inspired to learn more."
"I'm at a loss to understand his scales as they don't conform to any I know, major, minor (and flavors), major pentatonic, minor pentatonic, blues, but I'm sure they work just fine when played. When I sent a Facebook message to Jon asking about a site, I was told he hopes none exists and his main thrust of teaching was though his $1000, 5 day jam camps! That seems odd as most teachers I've run into has a presence on Face Book and answer questions there or on a dedicated forum. I need to do a lot of learning before I plunk down well over $1000 (closer to $2000 total) for the camp, lodging, travel, and meals."
"For some reason, when this author lays down the mechanics behind the harp I seem to pick those up too -- I guess he is converting concepts like positions and chord theory into human speak before passing it along."
"Nice."
"Great resource."
"Look up adam gussow or jason ricci follow there instructions and boom you will be playing cool riffs and songs in no time."
