<t>Neil, you've said John Renbourn is your favourite guitarist. I must compliment you on your taste - he's one of mine too. I discovered him through listening to Pentangle, a band I discovered through listening to Bert Jansch (who I in turn discovered via a member of TG!). What a phenomenal gatherin...

It seems that there are no free lessons anymore. Did these get cut?

You're a confident and capable guitarist and singer.<br/> <br/> And songwriter! <br/> <br/> Congratulations on the song - it was about as lucid a rendering in song of the modern 'zeitgeist' (...

<r>Mark Gormley.<br/> <br/> Don't know if anybody has ever heard of this guy or seen his videos. He is a singer songwriter from Pensacola and he made some extremely low budget, horribly produced music videos to accompany the songs he wrote in the 70s, about 5-8 years ago.<br/> <br/> He doesn't look ...
