Stagnation

by Frank Charles
(Atlanta, Georgia)

Dear Sir!

I've been playing reggae music for over 30 years. I never studied the guitar. I pretty much learnt a few chords, a few words, formed a band and started making a few dollars.

Now I am 55, and realize I can't play the guitar the way I would like. George Benson has been my mentor for years, but after hearing Robert Conti, I realized I should reach out for help now, because that's the sound I wish to have for my personal satisfaction.

I can't read music,how can I be HELPED?
