    Followed your blog with interest, I,m only a beginner but you seem to be coming along just fine.
    Do you like the Rosenberg Academy best? I thought it might be a bit difficult for real beginners ,your lucky inthat you already play guitar
    keep blogging :)

    Brilliant - what a great idea - how long have you been playing guitar in general? Thanks for sharing your gypsy jazz journey with us. Sounds great by the way.

    Janet - I think the RA does a great job of helping beginners with the basics, and the songs are great to grind your teeth on. That being said, if you're an absolute beginner I think it'd be in your best interest to maybe work through JustinGuitar's beginner course or something similar to get the basics of the instrument down. If you have a GJ teacher nearby then you could start right away, but I think that trying to learn this music by yourself would be extremely tough just starting out (it's hard for me and I've been playing for a while!)

    Kungfumonk - I've been playing guitar for a bit over 4 years at this point. Thing is, like all too many usI spent the first 3 years in a perpetual rut playing pentatonic scales ad infinitum and not really putting much practice into my work. I'm fortunate enough now to found a style of music that "clicks" with me and makes me want to practice and achieve something!
