I meant it as a compliment. He can't actually play guitar like you of course... 

... I'm fine thanks. Working on a new song that sounds like it was written in 1931 

Best wishes,

Hey Steve,

Small world! Thanks for getting in touch and really nice playing. How long have you been teaching at Solent Uni? It's always good meeting other teachers in So'ton!

I'll keep an eye on your gig list too and try my best to catch you live sometime in the near future. Do you gig in So'ton very often?

Hope all's well and best wishes,

Chris :)

Hi Steve,
Nice sounds!

Have you managed to get your guitar hands on a G7th capo yet?!
If not, then you're missing out and you should have a look and get in touch if you're interested...

Good afternoon Steve.
Thanks for dropping by my page. If you liked my songs you can hear more or buy an album at www. alexrobertsmusic. co. uk.

I noticed that you run a guitar course. Ive been teaching guitar for a few years around dorset and Sussex. Im qualified to degree level in music, and have classical guitar grades as well as a wealth of folk/acoustic guitar knowledge to share. I'd be very interested in teaching above school age level. Any chance you could help?
All the best,
Alex
