Sleep !.... that could be another lesson, two or more !!So, looking at the lessons here, I don't think Neil has slept since 2009.

I do the same when they are available.For me, they're useful for finding particular parts I want to work on -- it's usually easier to find them there than in the lesson parts. Also, it's just good to have the whole arrangement all at once. It puts everything in context. All the transitions are there, etc.
2 days! Haha! Good one! I bet they WISH it took 2 days. Funny man.I can imagine that to research, plan, play and film and edit all the parts of a lesson and post it must be, on average, a matter of 1 to 2 days solid work. Maybe add a day or so if it has to be practised and brought up to perfect performance standard. I reckon Neil and Ness are so versed in that process by now that they could possibly half that time, at times. So, looking at the lessons here, I don't think Neil has slept since 2009 :laugh: Ness, getting any sleep these days? :laugh:

Frankly I'm amazed and impressed with how they manage to develop new lessons so regularly and with such frequency. Imagine what must be involved:
- find songs that might make good lessons for acoustic guitar, preferable solo guitar, popular new stuff
- find some good acoustic performances that sound great
- work out how the artist is playing it
- work out how to make it teachable to us mere mortals
- work out what needs to be taught in detail
- practice it til the version works as a performance
- work out what each segment of the lesson needs to include
- prepare the GPro file and tab
- prepare the chart and lyrics (work out what they are really singing)
- start to record; then record and record and record over again until you have the segments you want, make sure everything's correct and all the right are messages included
- research the artist/band so you can make the preview even more interesting
- write the blurb for the lesson post
- do the preview - remember to include info on everything that's in the lesson
- perform the playthrough (oh did I mention learn how to sing it too?) and make it brilliant!
- edit all of the above so that it's so smooth people think you did it in a day
- keep smiling and upbeat even though you're stressed that you might not make the deadline for this week's lesson to satisfy the hungry TG audience's thirst for excellent lessons.
- respond to questions on the forum and FaceBook.
- think about getting some sleep.
Sigh... Then repeat.
I'm sure I'd missed steps. But you get the idea.
