    I just got the Van Hemert method 

    His Chapter 3 deals with Min 6 arpeggios over dominants.

    Dennis pretty much says what I mentioned when I said you'll need to write your own book. In the beginning when he talks about those "revolutionary methods" that say "why nobody told me this before". Because they all found and developed the method that worked for them specifically. He says exactly that at 13:50 and at the very end too.

    Dennis is the example of the teacher I talked about. He has loads of knowledge, both theory and life experience. But his biggest asset is that he won't just serve you portions of it in small plates once a week. Which is what some teachers do. He will truly look at you and listen to you, as a musician, and try to figure out what you need to work on to meet the goals you stated when you took lessons with him.

    Thanks for posting this, Twang. I probably wouldn’t have encountered it on my own.

    Dennis is always insightful and inspirational. A great guy to have around here.

    I hate to admit it, but before studying Django and GJ I fell for one of the “amazing guitar methods” which Dennis mentioned.

    I still have the photocopies of it up on a shelf somewhere... page after page of diagrams with black dots and white dots...I absolutely couldn’t figue out what the #$&* it was supposed to be about!

    Edgar Degas: "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.... To draw, you must close your eyes and sing."
