I have been taking distance education lessons in guitar with Kevin Downing since late August 2002. I am grateful to him that I have been able to benefit from his experience and input as a first rate guitar teacher and mentor. This has been achieved by telephone and over the Internet. Having the option to learn in this way has been a radical concept for me and very convenient. Lessons by telephone, using the speaker function, have been successful and rewarding and I have always come away feeling inspired and encouraged.
Kevin is skilled at what he does and is able to assist with clear directives, evaluating pieces played with his helpful critiques, and is always ready to share from his wealth of experience.
The Internet has also been very useful. In between lessons queries can be sent via email and Kevin is always prompt in replying with answers and advice.
These methods, in my opinion, are very viable options for continued learning and advancement.

What To Do When Playing With Other Guitarists<< Back to FREE Lessons
One thing that not many guitarists realise is that it is very important to be good at enhancing the rhythm section and creating a good groove, which is one of the main roles of a guitarist. Guitar players most probably spend about 95% of their time playing a backup role, so it would pay to be good at it. But there are some special problems that do arise which seem to cause heartaches for many.
Have you ever been playing in a band or jam session situation with another guitar player and when the song begins the other guitarist starts to play the rhythm part you were going to do? And now you really don’t know what to do. Well it happened to me many a time when I first began jamming with other players many years ago. So this lesson is all about what to do when you don’t know what to do..........You can view the full lesson (pdf file - for your own personal use) from here.
You can also hear the music examples here.
I hope you enjoy the lesson.
Kevin.
