    Hi Greg
    In my constant search for inspiration, being an 80-year old jazz guitarist (!) I happened to see you on youtube. I’ve just gone through the Joe Pass sequence with you and indeed, you are an astonishing teacher! I shall most certainly return to your inspiring and so down-to-earth teaching. Have a great day!
