Tomo, I really hope you read it. I'm a professional musician for over 20 years, studied with a LOT of teachers and for the last 10 years I've been teaching music in my own Music School.
I'm here today to tell you, Tomo, that you changed my life. Your way to teach, to play, to explain the complicated things, made me relax while playing and now I'm finally finding my sound. I can't explain how much I appreciate your lessons and how I'm thankful to you.
Thank you, Tomo! You are the best!

love it. just wanted to also comment that i haven't made it past the theory videos yet, but tomo is a really great teacher. i thought he was incredible on youtube, but now i really know after hearing you say that he's got something really special.

i think you'll also love his philosophy, naaman. today i received his picks from pickboy, which says: "be kind to yourself!" these kinds of things are small, but make a big difference.

I feel compelled to say this. Through these Guitar Wisdom forums and constant coms with all of you has boosted my mental health 10 fold. These forums are helping me in ways beyond the guitar and I am very thankful for that. I just put it into words but it really cannot describe this place. It might be delusion or something about being able to communicate with like minds. People who want to improve. Thank you. Really each and everyone of you.

Awesome stuff Lavoy! I always look forward to watching your posts and playing since your first one with the looper you did. This live stream on Saturday will be super helpful to learn more about how to set up backing track properly and about sight reading sheet music

great find lavoy.

yes, exactly.
phrases i saw mostly today:
"focus and continue"
"let's keep learning together"
"let's keep going"

love it.
continuous improvement.

tbh, the practice is the only thing that makes sense, quite often, to me -- to many it seems. i feel like i am using it as a scaffold, to build structure into the day. that is so helpful for me.

profound thanks tomo.

Thank you for your message, LaVoy. It can be both perplexing and beautiful how simple, mindful practice can improve our lives beyond the practice. As Tomo puts it, "Guitar has given me so much." And that is what we hope to share with everyone here at Guitar Wisdom. This way of gathering and sharing is powerful.

Keep being you!
