Hey Everybody,

Happy Holidays to everyone reading this. Hard to believe that Christmas and New Years are just around the corner. Where does the time go? I want to thank everyone who has signed up, and especially the Premium Members. You are the ones who keep this site going. To date, over 1,500 people have signed up with GLOL, learning from the free and Premium Level lessons. If you are not currently a Premium Member, Sign Up Now!! The Premium area is growing every month with new lessons, and the free area is also growing, with the Lick of the Week, articles from Jamey Andreas of GuitarPrinciples, and more. December will see some new and improved format lessons, with better graphics and interactivity, and more unique features that you will only see here at GLOL.

Well, on to the updates:For all users, the current Lick of the Week is posted. It is a classic Lick posted a while back, using the Major pentatonic Scale. The Premium Members Area will see the 3rd in the Basics of Jazz series, focusing on extended chords. Also posting soon for Premium Members will be the first in a series of lessons on Acoustic Fingerpicking. As always, please email me with ideas or requests, or if you have any other questions. If you are not already a Premium Subscriber, consider the benefits:For about the cost of a months worth of private lessons, you get 1 years access to literally hours and hours of real time video and multimedia lessons, with hundreds of exercises, riffs, licks, and more in a wide variety of popular guitar styles- acoustic, blues, rock lead and rhythm, country, and jazz. For more info, click here.

Many of the newest lessons are created for the FlashPlayer6. It offers by far the best presentation for the lessons- video and graphics are all in same window, no real player. If you need free flash player upgrade, go to Macromedia.com .

And now, signing up is even easier: $9.95/mo, $29.95/3 mo, or $59.95/yr.! These are great rates just for what is currently available as of today! But with more lessons added monthly, the value of your subscription will increase over time! All 1 year subscriptions are renewable for $29.95/yr. Also, the complete six-part beginners series is available for only $14.95 for unlimited term.

If you would prefer the lessons on CD-ROM, the Beginners disc is available for $17.95 and Intermediate level is $19.95. This includes S&H. Intermediate Vol. 2 will be available soon! Order directly from the site here, or email me to request the CD's by mail.

November was another busy month for the band, including several really great shows! We have a bit lighter schedule over the holidays, however, which will allow me to focus on teaching and finishing the new CD's, and even relax a little! What a concept!

Wrestling News: The WWE Peoria show was a lot of fun. Good to see Scott Steiner back on TV! I have also been enjoying NWA-TNA lately. Check out all the latest wrestling news at 1Wrestling.com . The UFC show w/ Shamrock-Ortiz was amazing! Would have liked to have seen Shamrock win, but oh well... The rest of the card was great too! I will be looking forward to their next show in February!

That's about all for now! Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday Season! Please email me with thoughts or suggestions on the site, and remember, "Keep Practicing".
