Hi,

First of all many thanks to Kirk for his awesome Planetalk (PT) book and DVD.

I'm pretty new to guitar. I first picked it up two years ago this month. I've played Sax for years and feel really comfortable with knowing my way around it. I have really been struggling with getting a similar comfort on my guitar.

I've tried a CAGED book and some Mel Bay stuff and a couple of other systems that promised the earth and failed to deliver. A lot of these seemed like rote learning and didn't "give me the keys" as it were.

My first read through PT really blew me away. There was a lot of stuff I already knew but had never put together. I could see from that first reading that with work Kirk's PT would eventually open up the fretboard and make it as comfortable and familar as the worn keys on my sax. It has inspired me to practice regulary and spend more time when I do.

The Planetalk forum is a brilliant added bonus where Kirk stops by to discuss the material and a heap of other guys and girls share their PT experience and some of the methods they have used bed PT in themselves.

I can highly recommend PlaneTalk. I doubt that I will ever buy another method book again, I wont need to.

Thanks Kirk for reinspiring me and showing me such a simple way of looking at the guitar and music in general.

Regards

Stewart

Thanks so much for taking the time to write that, Stewart. I'm so pleased you're enjoying the lesson.

I should write a testimonial. Just can't think of words strong enough. :\

Hi Felixdcat,

I find the best words are the ones that say it like it is. Ask yourself a few questions about how PT has affected your approach to learning the guitar and write down your answers.

I have read some people say they have 'read' through the course and it was great. I am the type of person that needs to do rather than read and I was wondering what the take on this might be on this board.

Anybody.....

PT is all about the doing. It is theory and practice distilled into a simple to understand and practice method. The practical applications pretty much jump out at you before you even get to the end of the reading material.

Hi, Rick.

PlaneTalk describes a mind set, a way of thinking about music and the fretboard more than anything else, but there are plenty of practical lessons at the private forum that show you how to apply the knowledge.

All the best, thanks for inquiring,
