H. Abraham, Student
As a young 16 year old teenager, I purchased a cheap electric guitar and took some lessons at the time. Shortly after, I played in a couple of small garage bands for the amusement of family and friends until I was 21. At that time, I had to stop my short musical aspirations to concentrate on my accounting career and start a family.
During the 2008 Christmas Season, I decided to pick up the electric guitar again and purchased one from a local music store. The store referred me to Terry Godwin and his Revolver Music Productions studio. Boy, was I glad they did.
Terry’s approach to guitar and music in general is very unique and different from what I had experienced in my childhood. He runs a well rounded music program that not only develops your guitar skills but also advances your musical understanding. You go through the mandatory chords, scales and songs on the guitar, but you also learn to play basic bass, drums, and keyboard. This exposure to the other instruments used in a band setting has given me a different perspective on how to be a better guitar player. For example, I am more aware of the harmonies and tempo being played on a song. I can now listen to a song on the radio, CD, or music player and identify the major key of the song, and most of the time I can figure out the chord pattern used in the song. You also get the opportunity to work on creative projects by producing your own songs. I have worked on three of these projects, played all the instruments, and was intimately involved in the recording process alongside Terry. His studio is also well equipped with the necessary amplifiers, sound effects, stomp boxes, cables, etc… so, all you need is your guitar and a desire to learn.
