Dear Mr. Burgos,
I've been enjoying your lessons and am learning so much through your
videos. I love Bach and notice that you have the music for a minuet
which I'm looking forward to playing someday. I'd like to know if you
have Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" available for your students to
learn?
Gratefully,
Steven Ringeling
Francisco, So far I have been working with your lessons on line for a couple of days. However, I can tell you that the lessons are excellent. They are very easy to read and interpret. I find them very easy to practice and I'm able to go at my own pace and can actually play along with you at the same time. This enables me to hear your strings coincide with mine. So far so good. I will keep you posted of my progress. Thanks, Javier Vila
Thank you Mr. Burgos. I have been exploring the lessons, and I am very impressed with the time and effort that must have been put into them. It shows. I am an experienced guitarist, but have mostly been strumming in rock bands for years. I recently delved into classical, and it is becoming an obsession of sorts, but I do not have a teacher, and knew that I was probably not using very proper technique. I am happy for the opportunity to use your online lessons to help guide/correct me. Thank you, Marshall J Higgins
Hello Francisco, I think your video lessons are superb. I did a lot of searching before deciding to go with your website, considering books, traditional videos or visiting a local teacher. The free samples of the videos you provide is what sold me. You show a good deal of what the subscriber is buying so that they know just what they will be getting. The videos are a good size, download times are good, the pdf printouts are of excellent quality. Sound is good and the pace is excellent so far. (I am at lesson 14 after a few days but I did have a few lessons as a child and learned to read music in high school). In short, an awesome site and a wonderful teaching style! Many thanks, Susan Strack, Canada
Mr. Burgos - I didn't realize that the Spanish soul had such a quiet side - your piece, Prelude 2, is a revelation! ..seriously - very well written and, of course, beautifully played - kudos to you sir! Alan Miller, Toronto Canada
Good stuff.. I have some John Williams classical collections, and frankly, you rank with the best of them! Talk to you soon.. Paul Leclair IndyReview.net
Maestro Burgos,
What a wonderful presentation on those videos. Heck, I probably consider
myself an intermediate (humbly wish) player, but I found most of the lessons
previews very helpful. Thanks, Mr Burgos. It sometimes pays to go back
over basic fundamental lessons, to convince oneself that " a student of the
guitar" is not regressing into bad habits. Reminding and Reviewing help
keep a student on track. A teacher is the best medicine, be it
electronically or the old fashioned way. OR both!
(that's me).
What a wonderful method to dispense the lessons to the student. I
unfortunately have a dialup service to the internet and will probably end up
purchasing the video. I look forward to your DVD video, your preview
lessons, have me wanting more. I love your teaching demeanor, it is very
personal.

To my ears this is wonderfully musical playing. The melodies are clear
and the guitar takes on multiple layers of texture and colour,
especially so in "The Return".
I like the tunes too.
Regards,
Peter Inglis, Australia
For what it's worth, I found your Prelude and your rendition of "The Return"
quite nice. Keep it up'
I also quite like playing your "Waltz" (Lesson 35)
it is a nice piece for
novices like myself.

Thank you Francisco, for the call and for making a point to follow up on the billing error. I have taken lessons 1-4 and look forward to the more. Your guitar playing is exquisite, I enjoy your style, and I aspire to gain as much as possible from your instruction. I wish you much success. Sincerely, Suzette
Dear Mr. Burgos, with great pleasure I have discovered your Teaching method, great compliment – this is really superb and well explained so that every beginner can follow. It´s great how you combine to read the notes and where to find them on the strings. I do take lessons since about a year and I still play after tabs, which is silly to me as I am still not able to read the notes. the Prelude for the Lute is magnificent, it is really terrific. Best regards Ms. Danièle Haupt-Kasel, Germany
Maestro. I was able to browse your lessons and the quality and clarity is outstanding. Those classes are excellent! Best regards, Bob Matas
I'm proud of you! You make us all (music teachers) look good! And your ideas are inspirational! Keep up the great work! Musically,
Olesia Borisenko, pianist
I reviewed the samples of the lessons on-line and you have done a terrific job. Your explanations are exceptionally clear. Also it is terrific that you have the various angle video images. I am interested in ordering your on-line classical instruction. Kindest regards,
Dear Francisco Burgos, I have just recently discovered your wonderful website while searching the Internet for classical guitar music & instruction. I am very impressed with your website and the video lessons you are offering. You are obviously an incredibly talented & gifted player, and I am very excited at the thoughts of learning from your video lessons. I also wanted to mention one particular piece of music that I have heard on your website and am now very fascinated with. When I click on the "Subscribe to Lessons" link, an audio/video clip begins to play, and it is the very first piece of audio in this clip that I am speaking of... I love the beautiful combination of the root note sustaining while the melody plays, yet at the same time the single high note is alternated repeatedly, very quickly. It sounds as if three things are happening at once (which amazes me), and I especially love the progression of the root notes, and the mood it creates. Can you tell me the name of this beautiful piece and if it is demonstrated in one of your lessons? (I am very hopeful that it is). Thank you for offering such a beautiful gift of music to the world through your lessons. You are educating and inspiring at the same time. Sincerely, Burke Wells East Bend, NC
Mr. Burgos, Thank you for such a warm letter. I have found the online lessons to be exactly “what the doctor ordered.” Congratulation! Thanks again, Mr LaGuerre

Francisco,
The videos are great – I have been on and off them
but right now I am on lesson 40 ( I may have skipped a few). I look at
them and try one or two here and there. I am going to start in
order again to see if I can keep it going more rigorously. I am glad the
videos are there.
