It's been a crazy/disasterous week.
Hi Everyone.
If you think I've been a bit quiet just lately.....you're right.
Got that 2nd DVD out (just) (thanks to all who bought it) but my DVD burner didn't want to play any more. Then I got a Trojan/Virus/Malware on my main machine. It kept hi-jacking every site I tried.
I couldn't email/upload or contact any one.
So I was basically trying to run an internet business without any access to the internet.
So, quick thinking as ever......;0) I thought, 'No problem...just hook up the laptop'. Excellent...for the first hour...until I jumped up to get the phone...didn't see the wire..laptop goes flying...screen shattered and latest files videos/notes/etc....well....sort of.....gone! Gulp AAARRGGHHH!!!!
Please note ..that is not what I said at the time...It was A VERY RUDE WORD...which I repeated MANY TIMES...
This was Yesterday. Today..well not smashed/lost/deleted anything up to now!!
OK..on to business.
The desktop messenger..Kind of worked for about 2500 of my subscribers but I know that some of you have had real problems with it. I'm working frantically to solve those problems and I'll keep everyone posted as and when....
The latest little batch of Freebies (Click Here if You Want Them)
was very well received and I know that only some of you have heard about my latest venture.
I'm going to shoot twenty (20) 3 minute tuition videos of popular songs that ONLY INCLUDE STRUMMING, and sell them as a download package and this is where you can contribute.
I am asking you now to tell me what you'd like to see in the package. I can't promise to include all of them but I'll do my level best to make as many people as possible...happy.
So if YOU have a favourite that you'd like me to do the video of (Strumming Pieces Only) get posting replies to this RIGHT NOW........
I'm hoping to put out some samples soon to give you a taste of what to expect.
Hey folks...I couldn't do ANY of this without you so I want to thank every one of you for giving me support. I hope to repay you many times over.
Cheers
Mike
FOOTNOTE: One of my subscriber/customers has been beavering away for the last few months learning from my videos. Every now and then he sends me a video link of his latest piece. I asked if it would be ok for you to look at them...

Right Click and 'Save as...' works best..

How to mess up a blog in one easy lesson.
I was trying to optimise the blog for Yahoo and managed to delete most of the code that makes the blog run and that's always gonna ruin your day.
Ah well it was probably due for a revamp.
The blog is now hosted from
http://www.mikeherberts.blogspot.com
so you might want to note that.

How to Read Guitar Tabs
This is a good basic introduction into the art of reading guitar tabs.
It doesn't cover every aspect but it will give you a good grounding
and will keep you busy for a while to come.
This is not my work and I have kept all references to the original
author.

I wanted to make sure that everyone got the latest links to the basic blues lessons as they seem to be going down rather well.

I'll be adding videos to this basic 12 bar format and it should build into a really good primer for anyone wanting to learn Blues.
The Video on Strumming Patterns seems to also be very popular
