I'm in New Zealand again.

My partner Joy is not having a good time so we knew we had to get here for some rest and recuperation.

It's sunny and warm and I'm on the deck as I type this.

As you know there has been a slowdown in the number of giveaway videos I've made lately but I'm sure I am forgiven by those of you who know what my circumstances are at the moment.

Joy is really not well. I have had to give a lot of time and attention to her as I'm sure you'll understand. Cancer seems to be touching the lives of everyone at the moment and I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has emailed and called.

The website will continue to grow, albeit at a slower rate for the time being.

I am working on some 'more advanced ' pieces for those of you who have waited patiently while Jerry and I have built a foundation of beginners material.

We had to concentrate on this area as it is the bread and butter that provides an income and allows us to put out more of the niche material. We haven't forgotton the more advanced players......just please be patient a little longer.

It's a bit of an open secret that Jerry and I have been working on a Solo Guitar Instruction Set and that will be ready for you to take a look at as soon as I get back home to UK.

You may remember Karl who is mentioned in another post on the blog here?

I called at his home in KatiKati yesterday to touch base with him. Unfortunately he was away until later this week when hopefully we'll meet up again so that I can let you know what he's been up to.

Not much more to tell you until I get home in a couple of weeks. If you've emailed recently and think I/we are ignoring you then please accept my apologies. Our trip out here was a real last minute decision. I had to call Nick (my son) and say...it's all yours for a few weeks.

I am back on the case now but if I've missed you then please either email again or go to the support site:
