| Hey there Pete! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to you (quite a bit belated... but no less of a special wish for you)! We hope your recent time in Colorado was super! Bummed we had to miss the performance! We look forward to sharing some music with you again soon! We wish you well! -The Dakota Blonde bunch :) |

| Pete,
Will you be at the JD tribute in Aspen in October? I bought tickets with the hope of seeing you perform there. I really enjoy your work and appreciate all you've accomplished. I listen to Darcy's Guitar almost every day and one day I'll be able to play it. You are an inspiration. Dave |

| My wife and I saw you last night at the Collins guitar clinic in San Diego - and we really enjoyed the evening. Your love of music and the guitar is quite motivating. I was the one who asked the question about the possibilities of starting guitar later in life. I'm 44 and started playing when I was 41 - and your DVD's and CD's have been no small inspiration. Perhaps one day I too can join the "super secret picking society." Be well. |

| I'm listening to "Naked Pop" on Rhapsody as I get ready for the first day of a new school year. Nice arrangements, beautiful playing. Your articulation is so clean, and your tone so great. I've played guitar for 35+ years and once made a living at it (1980-1992), but always as a pick user. I'm trying to swith over to a thumbpick, ala Tommy Emmanuel. I bought a 1968 Yahama 12-string that I put only 6 regular guitar strings on to get a wider string spacing and attempt to lose the pick for "my" kids this year. I will return to you and your plying for inspiration. Thank you for the music. |

| Greetings from Eddie Mattingly country. I just saw part of a documentary on PBS (I had taped it) called "John Denver Remembered -- A Song's Best Friend". It brought back many memories of my college days in Colorado in the early '70s, not to mention a little heartache about a voice and a spirit now gone. Your brief tutorial on the opening licks of "Rocky Mountain High" caused me to grab my guitar and work on it (still haven't finished watching the show). What an inspiring tune! I have two John Denver questions: 1. At what point in his career did you join his band (eg. after "Calypso")? 2. How bad was his eyesight? His glasses appeared to get thicker with time then he later must have switched to contacts. Keep up the great music and blogging. |

This is Tom Link.
I have seen some pictures of your Sheet Music (Fire & Rain) that you gave to Mary Huckins &(the Landrums).
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
Someday I would like to see YOU play & Dakota Blonde play.
I grew up in Missouri but now I live in Oklahoma. If you ever play or have a Workshop in or around here, that would be COOL.
Thanks Again,
Tom |

I'm proud to say that I just learned to Travis pick on your arrangement of "I've Got Rhythm". This was a very humbling experience added with additional frustration of a broken finger. I wanted to thank you for your talents and for your gifts of continued musical inspiration. Hope to see you soon. David |

My wife and I really love that album, and will be keeping up with your newer releases from now on. Keep up the good work!

Anywho, I'm thinking of purchasing your new World of Cords program and/or your essential guide to practicing; can a biginner guitarist with years of piano training use it or should I be patient and wait? |

I got all your instructional DVD's, music CD's and even a Collings Guitar, and they are all unbelievable. Have you ever thought of doing an instructional DVD on the late great Dan Fogelberg? I think you are the only one who could ever do him justice. I would be glad to recommend some songs if you ever take on that project. When you comming to Pittsburgh, we got a lot of great clubs here.
Thanks,

Again, thank you for all the work and wonderful playing that you put in to creating the instructional DVDs. Have you considered doing another Jim Croce and/or Gordon Lightfoot? If so, I would like to request that when a composition has an interlude between verses, that you include one also, that has the melody (ala classical style). Thanks again.

| Hey Pete: I just want to use this forum to thank you for all your work making these instructional DVD's. I can't even begin to say how helpful they are. For us folks in the "sticks" where we don't have access to advanced, personal, one on one instruction, these DVD's fill a much needed void. I know my playing and understanding of the guitar has skyrocketed in the last couple of years as a direct result of your instruction. So, just a big THANK YOU for all your hardwork, patience and willingness to share your gifts with us. Steve Paxton, Ludington, MI |

Yes, there is always more to learn and more to teach. But since this one just came out within the last month, maybe we could wait a while before doing another... ;-)

I really do enjoy your music. I am also very happy that you have done a gospel song book and cd. The arrangements are wonderful and though they are technically advanced, they thrill my heart.I hope to purchase this soon to advance my skills in fingerstyle guitar.
I play a classical guitar exclusively and I hope your arrangements will be kind to my axe choice.
Good Luck and God BLess You

Thanks for a wonderful clinic and excellent performance yesterday in Baltimore. I am fortunate to have just recently discovered your music. Your skills as a guitarist are eclipsed only by your musicality, which I would describe as brilliant and inspirational. I now have a different perspective on my music and itll be interesting to see how the impact of your performance affected my son Brian who is becoming an accomplished player himself. Thanks again!

| Hi Pete,
You are so talented, but talent does not get you all that far without constantly working to hone that talent. You are very inspirational. Perhaps you and your management might want to look into booking dates at Stone Mountain (Music Hall) just over the NH border in Maine. This is a barn built by Carol Noonan and has great sound. Also, the Great Waters Folk Festival in Wolfeboro, NH. Everyone that plays there comments, while on stage, about how great the sound is and what a wonderful setting. It is a huge semi-permanent outdoor tent on Lake Winnepesauke. It really is nice.
What CD of yours would you reccommend I purchase, as I simply can not decide? I have your practice, fingerstyle exercise, and John Denver series DVD's and have enjoyed them. What are the possibilities of doing a James Taylor DVD series? I can only imagine that it would be VERY successful.
Best to ya!

| I was just watching the John Denver Remembered DVD (I've lost track of the amount of times I've watched it) and continue to marvel at the way you play. having played guitar for the past 30 years I sold it last year to help fund my Photography, but this weekend I'm going out to get another, the house just feels so damn bear without one, then your instructional DVD's will be next.
I had the absolute pleasure of seeing John perform in Sheffield, England on so many occasions and at the time i was not properly aware of you or your talent, so didnt really get to grips with you. having seen you play on the wildlife concert and others i am certainly "aware" now & rest assured i will get to see you perform again and when i do i'll be taking notes - Kind Regards, Pete. |

I have always enjoyed your pickin'. I'd like to know what your opinion is about artificial nails and fingerpicks. I have used zcrylics for several years and I have switched to liquid jell nails. They seem to sound more natural. Have you ever tried the thumb picks called Fred Kelly Slick Picks or Fred Kelly Bumble Bee picks. They are easier to up stroke with. Thanks for the wonderful music and the advice.
