Dennis-- I like your sound recorded @Club Groove that plays when you open your site. Excellent. I want to send you my demo CD of the songs I covered. I've worked hard on rhythm guitar and to sing in key. You may remember me from NGW as the older guy who read a lot of books about the Blues. Let me have a mailing address so I can send my professionally reocrded Demo CD.
Warmest Regards,
Bob Burnopp

Hey, Dennis. Haven't had as much time, recently, as I'd like to play my guitar but instead, I'm in a play: A Chorus Line. It's the hardest show I've ever acted in because of all the dancing, but it's good to have a kind of challenge I know I can do, that I have to work really hard for it.
Nonetheless, I still use the rhythm techniques that I learned from your workshop, and I've been getting more into James Brown (both for myself as a funk musician, and also as role research for the show). If you're in Vermont around November 13-16, you should check out the show.

Hi Dennis-
Remember me? - the old guy at NGW Blues seminar? loved the class, but Iforgot to retrieve the (your) CD that you used in the class that you put in the computer. So, if you would email your mailing address to me I'll send you an SASE to send it back to me ( I need help with those licks).
Thanx and I hope to get to Club Groove to see you next week. Peace, JoeM

Dennis - My daughter and I have been playing UNO all week - the kid has a gift. I'm going to load her up and take her to Vegas.
I had a great time hanging out in Nashville. It was a pleasure to play on your tunes. I'll never forget the look on your face at the songwriting contest. The "do they know they're saying that out loud?" look. I hope we keep in touch this year. I'd love to hear what you're up to.

Dennis,
I hope you don't mind me contacting you directly but I'm hoping you can give me some insight on the NGWS.
I've been 'playing guitar' (just a hobby) for many years. I'm 42 now and have recently changed jobs so I have a bit more time to pursue it properly.
I have a pretty good knowledge of harmony (chord construction, modes, etc.) and the fingerboard.
About a year ago I started sitting in at blues jam's and was amazed at just how weak my playing (especially with better players) seemed to be.
After reluctantly coming to grips with this, I boiled it down to a few things. Fundamental things really.
(1.) my overall time feel/groove was weak, (2.) my chops weren't quite what I thought they were and (3.) I was suprised to see what an adverse effect 'nerves' had on my playing (even simple things I thought I was comfortable with.)
I've been working on all of these things as well as taking some Jazz/Fusion lessons. I came across the NGWS site and thought a week of immersion might be just what I need. I looked through the class list and am now torn between the Jam Summit and perhaps a more 'guitar specific' program such as James Hogan's Fusion class.
I'm hoping you can give me your honest opinion on which you think I might get more out of at this stage.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
