Hello, My name is Rick Washbrook. I have a very good success rate at teaching many blues classes over the years. I have 4 blues guitar players in a class including me, which makes it only 5 all together. I don't cram in a lot of students because I want every guitar player to get a good chance to play their lead solos when the others are playing the rhythm guitar parts. We all take turns playing lead solos. It is fun to be playing blues with others. The cost is very reasonable. It is only $25.00 for one hour and a half lesson twice month. The class will be held on the same evening and time but it will be taught by weekly. The cost is paid at the top of every month. $50.00 for two blues classes, one and a half hour class lessons per month. There are no refunds if you miss the class. At the top of the class I introduce the concept we will be learning and give everyone photo copies of the song we are working on, and the guitar licks and riffs and chord structures we are going to apply to the song blues songs selected for the class that week. At every class's you will be learning new information. Please call me. You can ask me questions and I can ask you questions and we can see if you get a good feeling about taking part in my blues guitar classes. If you would like me to send you my blues guitar playing sample, I can e mail them to you if you like. I have been playing the guitar for 38 years. Search my name Rick Washbrook in the Google bar search. You will find allot of info there. I am teaching now at my Aurora teaching studio. I also teach private lessons and global lessons recorded on video to develop correspondence guitar training.

To the people who stole most of my stuff out of my studio on June 5, including my main guitar of 43 years, let me tell you about it. It's a very altered, but very real 1953 Gibson Les Paul Model - Serial # 3 0621 (stamped on the back of the headstock) This is not a gold-top. In the 1950's, it was refitted with an ABR-1 bridge and stop tailpiece, and then refinished, all by Gibson. The green colour in the picture, (especially on the rear half of the body where the light reflection is less), is accurate. It's one of the lightest Gibson Les Pauls, and the only one of its' colour, that I've ever seen. I've made many other changes to this guitar in favour of playability: --changed the P-90's to humbuckers --had the neck thinned and it, the back and the sides were refinished --when it was refinished, the serial # was stamped in --replaced worn out machine heads with gold Gibson ones --added brass switch ring, jack plate, and rear cavity covers that were made for me by my now-deceased brother-in-law --added a truss rod cover with "Les Paul" on it --installed strap-locks (for obvious reasons) --there will be traces of violin bow resin in and under various parts. It is the best guitar ever for bowing. This is a one-of-a-kind instrument in so many ways. It is completely recognizable, down to every screw on it. I've been in the music business all my life, and have a large list of friends and contacts. With the help of countless amazing people, many who I don't even know, http://web.me.com/outgolfing/Equipment (which details what you took) has been sent across Canada and around the world to more people - musicians, music stores, pawn shops, studios, rehearsal rooms, and other musically related businesses - than I ever imagined possible. It's been passed around since you broke in, and is continually going out to more people. In fact, I'd bet people reading this will pass the link on to others if they already haven't. This will continue unendingly until I find my guitars and other equipment. My green Les Paul is already one of the most recognizable instruments in Canada, I can guarantee you that. Here's your scenario: --No collector will want this instrument because it's not even close to original. --No legitimate business will buy it from you. --Any creep who would knowingly buy a stolen guitar will give you a pittance for it. --If you keep it for yourself, you'll never be able to play anywhere with it, and it will tie you to the crime and to all of the other stolen equipment for as long as you have it. --You didn't even take the case. It's my most personal possession, and I have always planned for my son to have it one day. By the way, the other Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier head you took was his. It's not of much value to you, but to me, I can't buy another Les Paul like it because another one doesn't exist.. Here's a thought: Have some decency and redeem some karma. Bring my guitar back. You've fucked my studio up and stolen a life-time collection of my shit. You stole my guitar rig, which was MY sound that I've spent years achieving. You haven't ripped off a money making business. You've ripped off my life and my spirit immeasurably by taking away the tools of the pursuit of my passion. I've worked extremely hard for my whole life to earn my right to do so, and you took it all away in an hour or two. You've also ripped off my son, now, and in the future. I don't have the money to replace the gear, so it's just gone. Just give it back - NO QUESTIONS ASKED. PLEASE Maurice
