I just received my first practice set. I’ve been practicing whole notes..D..E..f# etc. Should I get a teacher, or video or a book? I live in Rhode Island , one hour from Boston, 3 hours from New York, not far from Connecticut. I have the Spillane tutor, but that’s mostly a nice collection of tunes with a fingering chart.

Patrick is an intense instructor, you’ll like him if you want to ‘get it right’. Excellent instructor.

You can’t beat personal 1 2 1 tuition to continue to monitor, check and improve your progress. Books,CD’s and DVD’s are great in their own right but at best can only complement the personal touch(IMHO :smiley: ).
Go get 'em :party:
