Q. Why does my playing sound so messy when I plug into the amp?

A. Dampening. You can use a variety of ways to dampen unwanted string noise to gain a clean sound.

Q. Why are my chord changes not getting any faster?

A. Keep your finger movements to a minimum. The less distance traveled, the faster your changes will be.

Q. Now that I am having lessons from Des Sherwood, does this mean my playing will suddenly improve without much practice?

A. No, I am Des Sherwood, not Paul Daniels.

Obviously this page was created for fun but at the same time makes a very valid point.
No matter how good a teacher is, students need to put a lot of hard work to get to a decent standard.
Rock on!
