I listened to your tracks and enjoyed them very much... Your playing sounds smooth and brimming with emotion.

Mike and Zack,

I just wanted to let you know that last Thursday the 9th, I ordered your e-book "The Ultimate Sweep Picker's Guide" and it is a great addition to my music study portfolio. In clear, concise language it explains the esoteric realm of advanced playing in bites that are easily chewed and digested. It was a great birthday present to receive, courtesy of my wonderful wife.

It is in-depth for sure but it doesn't bog or cloud your thinking. It paints a real picture on a technique that has been shrouded in mystery and is to be believed something held only for pros. Sure, it isn't easy and you must apply yourself and be dedicated and patient. But, it does prove if you are given the tools and the great instruction, you can achieve as well.

Everyone wants their french fries hot and now. For me, it's refreshing to plant the seed and nurture the potato. The e-book proves this and I am enjoying and digging this new breath of air.

Thank you both for sharing your knowledge, wisdom and words! I most appreciate it!

Thank you and have a great day!

I have invested in the Ultimate Sweep Pickers Guide and that has brought me great results because it is set out in such a user friendly format which is easy to understand for any person looking to improve or to master their Sweep Picking
