Dear Joe, My names Kory Caines. I currently live in Vallejo, California and i have been playing guitar for 5 years without lessons. I love to play my guitar it allows me to take my imagination to places i never could before. I dropped out of school just to be able to practice more. Unlike other parents my dad has encouraged me to play because he says i have alot of talent and potential. My dream is to have a carer in doing something i love best and thats playing my guitar.

My question to you is ive been playing so long and at the rate im going i know ill never be famous and i was wondering if you could explain to my dad why a teacher is important. I ask him if i can get lessons but he tells me all the time how is a teacher gonna teach you something that you probably already know. I know if i had a proper teacher that one day ill be as good as you. But as i was saying could you please write back explaining to my dad(Kevin Caines)why a teacher is necessary to become a great guitarist. If you do not respond I understand I mean your a guitar legend but if you do happen to read this and write back then thank you =)
