Hi Duke,

  My name is Steve, Im looking to start up some on line lessons with you.. My question is,  is there a certain level of play/knowledge of music/blues 

 that I should have before starting?  are there different levels of lessons and how do I know where to begin?

   A little backround on myself, I began playing at 16 years old in 1986. as a product of the 80s rock scene, like everone at the time I was an eddie van halen wanna be.. after about 15 years of playing rock covers and such, I was introduced to two good friends and very influential guitarists that 

  changed my way of thinking, playing, practicing and listening to music..  Bruce Bartlett and the late Joe Vellucci..   Joe spoke very highly of you and introduced me to many artists that I hadnt even known exhisted, Including yourself in the roomful days..  freddie king, albert collins, albert king and of course Tbone 

    Bruce I had taken some lessons from, as well as become good friends had taken me to better levels of play as well. this was all back around 2000.

  these days Im interested in blues quite a bit, though I feel Ive gotten a bit better in time, feel and a little phrasing, I feel that taking leesons from a blues master as yourself would get me moving forward much better.

    Im pretty comfortable with 12 bar blues but far from where I want to be..(arent we all I guess), I feel like I want to strat doing some open mic nights but, really dont feel confident enough in the blues language to take the plunge.. 

    I know key signatures and major/minor pentatinic scales, some basic blues chords enough to get around but, would like to do more with what I have.. 

        looking forward to speaking with you, 

    Steve
