I just signed up for 4 1hr lessons with you. I had you before in the group sessions and I was impressed. I'm hoping you can help motivate me to get back into guitar like I was 30 years ago. My goal is to be able to play the thread title song. I know Boston is usually listed as 5 guitars difficulty because Tom Sholz is just that awesome, but hey...its an obtainable goal, right? I also know that Boston uses several tracks of overlapping guitars, so I'm not expecting miracles here...just what he might play if he was live and didn't have the other guitar tracks. I have not yet found a decent 12 string acoustic, but I do have a 6 string acoustic and a kick-a$$ Jackson. Also, I use a Scarlett Solo and Amplitube 5 with a headset when practicing, and I'm hoping you know how to make the sound come through to you on Zoom, or I have to buy a monitor; I do not have an external amp anymore (thank my clumsy son for that one). Lemme know if you have any tips, tricks or ideas for this possible issue.
