That's a great story Rockstar.

I had a somewhat related (though not exact) experience when I showed up to take a master class with Michael Jackson's former guitarist who was for a long time Jeff Beck's music director, and who also wrote, played and toured with Beck, who I much admire. She has played some of the most iconic guitar riffs in pop music history.

I think she charged like 40-60 dollars for the 3 hour class, and with it she gave away some free transcription software and a flash drive with tons of educational material on it.

I was one of FOUR people who signed up. I was astonished.

One main difference between our experiences is I am not sure what I learned from that as a key take away.

It's not worth $40 or $60 to spend 3 hours with one of the best guitarists on the planet to learn a few things and get some free software that costs almost that much?

Well, at least we got to spend some quality time!!
