  Learn & Master Guitar LIVE! TONIGHT! Tuesday June 5, 7pm CST US
 Jazz Guitarist Rory Hoffman
 Win a guitar, & more!
 
 
 "Holy moly... Astounded at his creativity in spite of his disability... Rory seems so unencumbered by any obstacle." - Brad Paisley
 "Within five seconds of listening to and watching Rory Hoffman for the first time, I was transfixed," - Keith Urban
 Rory Hoffman was born blind so he never saw anyone play the right way. He is entrenched in what guitar instructors would deem bad habits and improper techniques. But, he's also as exciting and inspiring a musician as Nashville has seen in years, a dynamic player who is dropping some of the most famous jaws in Guitar Town.
 
 Rory will be with us for a very special edition of Live Lessons to show us a little bit about Jazz guitar as well as kick us all in the pants about ever complaining about how difficult it is to play guitar.
 
 Giveaway! During the Live Lesson we're giving away a guitar, amp, cables and more!
 
 See you there!

 2010 Fender American Standard Strat 3—Tone Sunburst — Maple Fretboard

 I have a borrowed George Dennis — "The Blue" amp. And, I bought a Soundseat before they went off the radar screen.
