I guess it all depends on where you're at, as far as knowledge and skill. Personally, I find Neil's pace and approach to teaching to be spot on.No question about it many of the lessons are outstanding.
Lots of information, background, technical, side bars, theory, random comments, etc, but it all come a bit to fast for me.
Anybody else feel like that?
Some time the lessons are all over the map.
Would Neal be aposed to poping a few tranquilizers, or perhaps a shot of Jack Daniels?
If he is into natural products, St John's Wart might be a consideration.
It's quite possible that perhaps you are trying to play beyond your skill level.
Granted, I'm an intermediate player, so a lot of the things that you may view as confusing or fast paced, I view as simply giving me the information I need to advance myself.
Of all the garbage instruction sites on the net, this is the only one that's worth my time.
I'm actually considering placing an ad banner on my guitar forum for free.
