Past Artists- Paul Landsberg ( January, 2007)

What our members had to say !

"I thought Paul's clinic on seeing the fretboard was one of the most practical training sessions I've ever been to.  His daily exercise of choosing an arpeggio to drill along a single string and across all strings is perfect for seeing the notes in any position."
