Lately I have thought a lot about writing an instructional book or shooting an instructional video. One question, though, has been nagging me: am I doing something useful or not? See,  I have many ideas about the topic and format of the instructional, but I have no idea what YOU guys are interested in. I have seen people spending months in writing "The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Guitar Playing" just to discover that nobody was actually interested in it. I want to create something that can actually helps and interests you. So, here is you occasion to make a difference! I have prepared an online questionnaire that will take you less than 1 minute to fill. Your opinion is important to me! If you have just 1 minute to spare, please help me in helping you! Thanks!!

I just came back from Chicago, IL where I attended this year's HessFest, the annual meeting that my mentor Tom Hess organizes for all his students. To say that I was floored by the event is an understatement. Tom treated us with his masterclasses and seminars, and he also managed to have George Bellas to give us a lecture (that turned quickly in a 4.5h resume' of ALL music theory). (if you do not know who George Bellas is, have a search on YouTube. Sit down before you watch). I had the occasion of jamming with some of the best musicians on the planet and exchange ideas with a heap of brilliant minds. If you want to have a pale idea of what this event is, Tom has a page on his website dedicated to this, with some photos and videos. Have fun!
