BASS CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"...I was struggling to get the scale down,  but until I heard the first cd lesson it explained it so perfectly as if a teacher was sitting in front of me.  Now I'm continuing the rest of the lessons with ease.  I now know the chord,  roots,  and everything else about getting started.  I feel I've made so much progress thanks to the lessons..." Christopher V.,  U.K.  2/23/05

had many years of musical training, i.e. piano, organ, trumpet, drums, and guitar. 

I have started listening to the cd and find it very useful.  Thanks again for a great product..."

"...Been playing bass for 16yrs & still learned from this program! Excellent!!..." Ed T., U.K. 04/26/04

 

"...I was asked how long I had been playing at the conclusion of the first probationary session with my church's "band". All members have to tryout in order to perform. When I told him "2 weeks" he questioned me a little more. He learned that I had only owned the bass for two weeks and I had been working from a jamalong CD that a teacher in Dallas had created. Incidentally, your "Jamalong 1" happened to give practice in the exact keys (and progressions) that the church music is written.  Thank you and I will be checking back for more...",

"...I must admit,  I have learned more in that 30 minute disc than I have from two

gentlemen that were "teaching" me at a local music store.  You broke it down to

the basics,  which is what I was looking for,  and the other two teachers were more

in it to make me into the next bass player for Metallica,  or heavy metal band out there...Thank you

so much for making this fun and exciting,  something that I wasn't having previously!!!!..."

Rick D.,  St. Claire Shores,  MI  3/1/03

I immediately put the cd on and began jamming.  The only word I have is WOW!!!!!!!!!!! 

I felt exactly like I was playing with a blues band....I will order some more bass jam

alongs tonight.  I have a bass lesson I am already late for because I was having a

blast playing along and the time snuck up on me.  But I wanted to take a minute to

let you know how excited I am about the music.  It's fantastic!.  Also, thanks so much

for the quick service..." George E., Evansville, IN   12/9/02

"...OUTSTANDING!!!..."  Al P.,  Maywood, CA  8/26/02

 

"...I liked the Jam Along for Guitar so much that when I saw the one for bass

(which I play also)...The guitar one really helps one get his chops up...I used to

record the rhythm guitar patterns on a tape recorder and them play along with them,

but effect of the full band is much more fun!..."  John H., Hummelstown, PA 8/25/02

 

"...I just finished watching Lessons 1 & 2 again and I have to tell you, 

I really enjoy listening to you speak about the guitar.  I like your approach, 

down to earth,  the way a beginner like me can relate.  I like the way you teach

the learning skills.  You address all the issues that new guitar players

encounter and your words will go a long way in helping me fight the frustration

associated with learning guitar..."  Dean W.,  Wentzville, MO  8/23/02

and can't say enough about your methods of training..."

 Jimmy G., Massapequa, NY  3/30/02

 

"...My order arrived in fine shape. Thanks for the prompt shipment. I started this project as a sanity fix 

from high pressure business and find that I made the right choice. Your CDs make it so easy to make 

progress fast with practice...with the help of your CDs I find that I can play without running my dog out 

of the room already. I get to Ft Worth on business often and will try to arrange a few lessons when I do.

Thanks for the help..."  Win W.,  Willows, CA   1/14/02

 

"...I just purchased your jam along tape number 1 and it's fabulous.  I have also loved 

your ten secrets to being a successful guitarist, and lessons 3 and 4!! you taught me how 

to do barre chords! major and minor! loved your note by the way! being blind, music has always 

been an important aspect of my life....  I wanted to say thanks for teaching me how to play 

and enriching my life.  ... thanks so much for your help!,,,"  

Marissa M., Bronxville, N.Y. 1/22/02

 

"...There is just not enough room to praise the jam tape.  I've gone through it twice now and

it is a BLAST!  If you need any references from satisfied customers pass on my e-mail address

to anyone you want to.  Thanks Again!..."  Tom A., Greenwood Lake, N.Y.   1/19/02

 

"...I got the CD already!  Thanks for the fast service and great CD.  I bought a cassette from

you a long time ago and that was great too.  Rock on!..." Aug F., Toms River, N.J.  1/9/02

 

"...I got your cds a few days ago and I must say they are the best ever.  I am now playing 

songs that I had trouble with before.  I just needed a little push.  I will not hesitate to order 

the rest of the lessons soon.  This is ideal way for someone who cannot commit to regular 

lessons.  For those who are trying to learn off the internet as I was,  must order your lessons 

to help everything else make sense.  Your I IV V thing opened my eyes to all kinds of music.

We are now in our COLD season,  today's temp was about 15 below F so I had no trouble spending 

a few hours with my guitar and your CDs.  Thanks again for making playing guitar fun....."

and the guitar.  It is an uncommon gift that you possess;  the geographic distribution 

and number of students shows how many lives that you have touched.  Keep up 

the great work bro;  we need more people like you in the world..." 

Nigel B,  Socorro, NM  8/21/01

all guitar players..."  Ed S., El Cajon, CA  8/8/01

 

"...I have really enjoyed listening to your first lessons.  As a beginning guitar 

player,  I find your sage advice on how to approach this instrument a comfort...

You have a way of explaining things about music and the guitar that is easy 

for me to understand.  You have obviously put a lot of thought into your

approach to this subject..."   Daniel C., Salinas CA 7/25/01

 

"... I searched for comments about you on dejanews and only glowing, 

exciting recommendations came up.  You have quite a following!...

"...I gave him (my son) the CD's I ordered from you.  He has devoured 

them!!!  He is out of his mind with excitement! He thinks they are 

wonderful and has learned more than he ever dreamed he could.  

Concentration has been a problem for him in the past, but claims with 

your mentoring, he feels so much more confident....His Dad has played 

in a small band for 30 years and has tried to help to no avail! 

 YOU ARE THE MASTER TEACHER!!!..." Judy K., Metropolis IL, 5/27/01

 

"...got the CD today and I have listened to 3 times and counting and I 

have to say you are incredible on the guitar!  If I could play one third 

as good as you I would be thrilled.  Makes me want to move to Texas 

just so I could take lessons from one of the BEST players I have ever 

heard..."  Ken R., Bakersfield CA 5/25/01

 

 "...the hospitality Texans are known for has shined thru once again.  

I have been playing your CD and, as many others discover, you play 

real smooth and flowing. The opening song has the ability to lift folks 

from their chair and start groovin' along..." 

Roy M., Union City, CA 4/4/01

“…Thanks for getting me started on the right foot!!! I think I have 

blown out the motor on the CD player with the first two discs!  At 36       

I  never ever thought I would be playing anything!  Now I can’t put 

it down!  I love the 50s & 60s tunes! I have 8 songs in my 

“memory muscle”!  I WANT MORE!     Keep the lessons coming…”   

Mark W.,   Fort Atkinson, WI   4/1/00

 

 “…Your product has helped me make tremendous improvements in 

my playing…”  Phil F.,  Babylon, N.Y.   3/11/00

 

 “…I don't receive any compensation from the sales of Joe's CD's 

& Tapes. I'm only offering them here because I've tried them out 

myself. And I can say without reservation, these are  some of the 

Coolest backing tracks I've ever heard. Not your run of the mill 

session players going through uninspired versions of blues tunes like 

most of the recordings you currently find on the market.  What you get 

is Joe's Professional Texas Blues band, (Bass, Drums, and Joe 

playing Rhythm Guitar), playing tons of blues standards. All you 

have to do is hit play on your stereo and step up to play lead with what 

amounts to your own private Texas Blues band.  No matter if you're a 

seasoned player, or if you'd just like to work on your chops enough to 

show up at the local blues jam. These CD's & Tapes will inspire you to 

play better and practice more often…” 

Larry H., Bethesda, MD   http://www.deltabluesman.com/

 “…Thank you, Thank you, Thank you…My wife spent 5 hours on 

her bass after your CD arrived.  (and I didn’t have to be her human 

metronome on the drums)  There’s so much room in the music for 

her to do a straight line or “dude it up” as she says, I’m sure she’ll 

spend many productive hours on it.  Mike, Hiawatha, KS 2/20/00

 

“…Got the CD yesterday.  I really like it a lot.  Thanks.  I will definitely 

be buying some more later.”  Mike D., Mentone CA 2/11/00

them before I made my comments.  I am very pleased with them…

you did a good job Joe…”  Denny L., Deer Park WA   1/15/00

 

“…Recently I ordered lessons 1-6.  I liked them very much.

 word to say  WOW!!  What great fun to play along with this stuff!  I am 

very impressed and pleased with your products.  I have purchased 

numerous books w/CDs and have learned a lot from them, but this stuff 

is just too cool!!  I will look forward to purchasing Blues Jam Along #5

when available. Thanks again for a great product!…”   

Randy S., Parsons KS 11/8/99

 

“ …I am particularly enjoying the 10 Secrets tape.  Of course I was a 

little skeptical at the idea of there being ten secrets and of you having 

all ten, but I have listened to the tape twice already and I’m really 

enjoying it.  You have to admit that it’s quite an accomplishment 

to have made a tape that is so informative, easy to understand 

and entertaining!  I started playing 35 years ago, I’m taking it back 

up again and you are inspiring   me. That’s your reward!…”   

Mike J., Chico CA  10/26/99

thrill of making music has not changed…it is still a heck of a kick…”  

Clay J., Dallas TX

 

"...I have taken lessons from two other guys before Joe at different 

guitar stores and neither one of them were as organized,  easy to 

get along with, fun to play with,  cool and could play as well as Joe...

I feel that Joe genuinely cares about his students otherwise he 

wouldn't spend so much time preparing his lessons.   I think I 

have found the BEST Teacher in the Lone Star State.  After a 

lesson I go home feeling great about my playing ability and I 

know that I am only going to get better thanks to Mr. Joe Pacciano..."
