Student review:

"It''s the first major investment I have made in Homespun and it was worth every penny. I have been playing nylon-string and acoustic guitar for almost twenty years and recently felt I was in a rut, mostly because I wasn''t making music with anyone who really inspired me. This is not to say I am any great guitar wizard but you must admit it''s nice to play with folks who really inspire you. Now I am jamming along with Liv and I feel great. The quality is ''spot on'' as the British say. Also, there''s so much joy and enthusiasm in those lessons. I was sad when the series came to a close but felt I''d expanded my playing into jazzy, country, R & B, pop and blues. I find myself strumming along over and over again, incorporating Liv''s suggestions into my own playing. Thanks for the musical inspiration and direction." -- David Shea, Spain
