Re:hey all Acoustic Genius Series Part 3 now available for Target Members

<t>I am really keen to increase my knowledge of theory and will persevere with the lessons; while I appreciate the effort to make the site a resource covering all aspects of music, I think the intrinsic value of online instruction is that it is a visual medium.

Re:What do you practice and for how long?

<t>You and I have a similar outlook on "practice" Spags. I've never been motivated by repetitious exercises or adhering to a set practice routine. I always want the guitar to be fun.
