Taking a look at the "reccommend a lesson" page and began wondering what the point is? There are songs there that have a lot of votes but then we get a lesson on "Midnight at the Oasis" ? Honesly I think the song choices that Neal has been making have gone steadily down hill. Seem like he is doing what he likes and not what his customers are asking for. I'm actually a charter member and if it was not for the some of the older lessons - I probably would drop my membership. Or maybe I'm just in a bad mood today (and I really hate that MATO song!)
Well sir welcome to the form.I agree with you completely!
I also agree that,if the number of song to chose from is what makes a great site.Then yes this is a great one.
Some folks said here that some of the top songs will not make great lessons???I guess I wonder what songs they are talking about???
The two James Taylor songs on the top of the list.Or is it the Dan Fogelberg song Leader of the band.Or maybe it Operator by Jim Croce?
I find it hard to believe that these songs have no lesson value at all.Or is it some other songs we are talking about???
(Now they'll have to wait so as not to appear as a knee-jerk reaction.)Really!!! Because I remember Nass calling for more Female songs.And the rest of us jumping on the band wagon.And presto,We got are female songs.
I've seen people come to this site and say ( I seen you do a song on you tube and saying you would get to a lesson on it)And like always, it's we are going to get to them.And after about three years of that I wonder where these lesson are???Look there are a number of great songs to choose from on this site.Neil has every right to choose the songs that he thinks will make good lessons.And yes he is human.And like most of us,he seem to do song that I can only assume that were a great influence on him when he was starting out and Loves these songs.Hell don't we all what to learn songs that we love! Seem like that's all any of us want.And what this thread start out saying??
Unclewalt,You crack me up buddy :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Your damn right you have all the right to comment on these thread as you see fit.But you kind of lost me with the thought that (Those of you who know me know that I am the furthest thing from an ass-kisser there could be -
and there are some fairly shameless ass-kissers on this site. I say these things because I truly believe them.)I"m sure you well set me straight if I misunderstood you.But let me quote you again.( Nobody's insulting anyone personally,)You are right there, you did not say the folks you think are shameless ass-kisser by name.Once again set me straight is I've misunderstood what you are saying here.The only way to tell if someone is what you claim, is to go by what they say.Other words you wouldn't know if folks are Kissing ass or not.And the only place to see how folks feel is on the forum part of this site.Where people say how they feel about all sorts of things.And out of all the folks that must be target members,Only about a couple of dozen that I've seen over the three years I've been here use the forum for that.So if you could tell me what you think a ass kisser is.Is it some one who agrees with Neil on the issue of this being the great site that it is.And if so,and you seem to agree with Neil on this issue.If that's the case then you might as well join all us ass kisser,(you say your not, but other people are)!!
Look folks,I quit paying for this site because I got tried of all the promise about songs we were going to get to some day.And YES Neil will get to them some day I'm sure.I just was not going to pay for lesson I did not want to learn.NOT THAT THERE NOT GOOD LESSON!!!! just not the ones I would like to learn.And I don't buy off on a song some one LOVES not to make a good lesson.So I use this site to stay in touch with the GREAT ass kisser I've come to call FRIENDS.And WHEN Neil get to some song I think will make a good lesson for me I can buy it or join back up.
So let me end this with BRAVO mhsard!!! Great point.Hope you find what your looking for. Because no matter what all the ass kisser here say there are a lot of other avenues to find the song you are hoping to learn.
GOOD LUCK SIR
Kevin
