John has really made progress since he started taking lessons with me, he is left handed so there were some obstacles to overcome but things are moving along nicely and I composed this instrumental arrangement I left out a lead work to help him with his timing;
I removed this video
YouTube will not allow me to pass comment Russ.
Go John, bet you got real buzz out of it.

oops! I hit the report button instead of quote lol He did and his wife is thrilled John has worked hard and deserves a lot of credit he can also play a solid B chord too and other 2nd positions I showed him two ways to bar the B one with his 3rd and the other with his pinky the pinky is the easiest for him (and me) it requires less stretching and strength
Comment left on YT. Great job, John! Keep it up.
Russell is that Strat a pale blue? I can't tell, but if it is, she's a beauty.
All the best

Hi Russell ...
It must be very satisfying for you as a teacher, to have a student make such progress. He's obviously being taught the right things, and is also motivated to put in the effort and time to learn what you're showing him. That's great work by both of you, all the way around.

I must admit it was like pulling teeth the first few weeks John had a problem with timing and he has large fingers + he is left handed after thinking about it I came up with basic theory to teach him the value of notes and gave him an old unused yamaha portable keyboard with a cheesy built in drum effects to use as a metronome this turned the corner for him. The next thing was to work on his hand and wrist positions and finger placement it helped that he was determined to succeed my message to him "timing is the most critical part of music without it your playing noise" sunk in yes I am pleased.
That's awesome, Russell ...
For most people, learning anything typically hinges on a key piece of info or a viewpoint, that connects us to the "big picture". As a good teacher, you quickly found that "key" for John, and the door of understanding unlocked. I coached soccer for 9 years (16-18 yr old boys) and fine-tuning a player's skills was as much about reading his individual preferred learning style, as it was about soccer itself.
Nicely done, man ... the world's a better place with more music!
