George, i wanted to learn Classical Gas, just because it's a good excercise in fingerpicking. But seeing Tommy Immanuel play it, just blew me away. It's not just playing, he became one with the tune, and he did some things with an acoustic guitar that i didn't think possible.
Your assessment of the Fretmentor is correct. One thing i appreciate about the Fretmentor is his passion for music, and his willingness to teach what he knows, and isn't affraid to challenge us. Regardless if my playing is off or on, i always come away with something, whether it's from some of the more experienced players, or the fretmentor himself. He just keeps me coming back for more.
