Learn & Master Guitar
Acknowledgements I am thankful to the Lord for the unexpected opportunity to work on this project. I pray that it will be a blessing to those who learn from it as well as to those of us who have labored to provide it. I am thankful and grateful to my wonderful wife, Paulette, without whose constant encouragement this project would not exist. Your patience, wisdom, encouragement and support helped me to work harder and produce more than I ever thought possible. I am a blessed man. Also, I am indebted to her for her much needed professional skills of proofreading, editing, and photography. Thanks to my wonderful kids, David, Daniel, and Timothy who knew Daddy as just the man at the computer for months. I pray that the time will be redeemed many times over. To Gabriel Smith, thank you for the incredible opportunity to work with you on this. May the effort poured into this represent but a fraction of the blessing that it will be to those who learn from it as well as to our own lives and families. To Jared and Nathan, thank you for your tireless professional efforts during the making of this project. Thank you to my wonderful parents who faithfully paid for and took me to all those guitar lessons, even though, at times, I begged to quit. And lastly, an all-too-late thank you to Johnny Frisco, my first and best guitar teacher who died during the completion of this project. I first walked into your lesson room, which was no bigger than a walk-in closet, a six year old with a guitar that was too big for me and came out after many years possessing the musical skills that have shaped my entire life.
