really good, and when I can’t find HRH in the
searches then AP is right there in the top ten.
You do a great job, Tina, and you are
appreciated more than you know. Thank you."

Comments After Winning |
Oh my goodness!! Have you
ever seen anyone dancing around
the house, turning on lights and
waking the dead up from their
sleep and NOT caring about the
scornful looks received in
return? Welp, my family's awake
now and even with the blankets
stuffed back over their heads, I
could still hear their muffled,
"Really!?!?"
Thank you Dan for this amazing
gift!
I will treasure it, send
pictures, and play you all a
song! This is unbelievable! The
last time I won anything was a
pair of Buster Brown shoes in
Sierra Vista, Arizona when I was
about seven and got to be on the
radio.
Thanks to all my friends and
boss out on the internet for
voting! Dad, thanks for having
lots of friends! I love you! The
man in Iraq - God Bless you and
your friends in Iraq who you
asked to vote too - come home
safe! Buena Bozos you did great!
Buena Rules! Sierra Vista raised
a lot of giving people to have
taken their time to do a couple
of click throughs for me and to
tell their friends.
Thank you to all the other
contestants for taking time to
vote for one of us four
finalists.
I can't wait to tell my
daughter's boyfriend!! Step one
in blowing him away!! Ha Ha!!
(gotta read my entry to
understand that one).
Thank you again for voting!

Tina,
I'm sooooooo glad you *finally*
got it! Hope you like it as much
as I do. I picked it out myself.
Amazing tone, great pickups and
locking tuning keys to boot!
Take care, practice hard and
send us some pics so we can post
them here on the blog!
Cheers,
Dan Denley

Hello Dan,
I emailed you a picture of my
new guitar that you sent to me,
but I haven't heard back. So I
thought I'd post the website URL
to the picture for everybody to
see who the person was that won
the Amazing Guitar Secrets
contest. ME!!
I'm really enjoying my new
Strat!

Hey Tina,
Was so impressed by your blog.
You sure deserve this guitar.
Hopefully you enter some more of
your songs online. I really
enjoyed your Fields of Gold and
many thanks for your tip on the
website GuitarNoise.com. Im
learning strawberry fields at
the moment!

you sign my Old Takamine
Acoustic!

Winning Entry |
| I won the guitar by posting
this blog entry below. Then all
I had to do was ask my friends
vote for me. Since I run an
alumni forum on the internet for
my high school, it wasn't hard
to get a lot of votes. I can't
believe people from all over the
world took time to vote.
Usually people don't bother to
help others but they sure did in
this case. I hope someone I
knew bought Dan Denley's course
from his website when they
voted. |
Hello,
My name is Tina Mellen-Whittimore. I learned three songs on the guitar when I was sixteen. For the next 26 years I wholeheartedly requested a guitar from anyone who'd ask, "What do you want for your birthday?" Do you think anyone listened? Not-a-one. "Do you play?" "Yeah...three songs...but still!" Dear hubby gets me flowers! Argh! So, one day, I bought myself a present - - this was brought on by insomnia and catching a glimpse of Escoban's
late night infomercial about an
acoustic for ONLY $99!! Wow! I
could afford that one!
For the next two years, I
struggled. (He forgot to send
the video tape). I couldn't find
anything on the internet to
learn by, except tabs and chords
that made no sense to me, had no
real instructions, and no songs
to go with them. Even though I
play Clarinet and Tenor Sax and
can read music, I was at a loss
in trying to train myself. I'd
only remembered two songs from
my youth and still don't
remember some song I think was
named, "Stewball was a
racehorse". Playing those two
songs for those two whole years
almost caused a divorce! Ha
Ha...not really!
Then I discovered David at
guitarnoise.com and was I
thrilled! There's not a day that
goes by now that I don't drive
my husband and kids crazy with
new songs and lots of practice -
especially while they're trying
to watch TV. My sixteen year old
daughter now thinks I'm cool
enough to go to a friend's house
to watch them play in their band
downstairs at this kid's house.
(He's really good and I got to
play their electric!) I didn't
do well, of course, but I did
run out and buy a Sam's Club
electric! (You folks are
laughing at me, aren't you?)
Well, you'll really get a good
tickle from this one. I grabbed
the mic from an old 286 computer
and hooked it up to mine and
recorded my best song, Fields of
Gold, that David at
guitarnoise.com taught me.
http://webpages.charter.net/buena/Tina%20Playing%20Fields%20of%20Gold.wma
Copy that URL into your browser
to hear the song I recorded
about two years ago.
And that is why I need "Amazing
Guitar Secrets" - and would just
die smiling if I got a Fender
Strat.
When looking through David's
music files, I avoid barre
chords like the plague. I read
that this course teaches how to
do those! Listening to my song
up there, you can tell that I
don't have finger training,
speed and accuracy and I think I
could really gain all of that
through this course. You would
think after playing this song
for two years that I would sound
better than this! And it ain't
arthritis folks! I just need
someone to help me see what I'm
doing wrong, and believe me
there's nothing on the internet
that has helped me in that area.
This course lets you see it in
action, learn it and practice it
and even ask questions!
Being a total Rock and Blues
nut, I am thrilled about this
course teaching me all the major
and minor scales and to clean up
my rhythm and to actually play
Rock and Blues!! I'm playing my
slower learned songs all the way
through and I've even been able
to play two songs along with the
original song versions off CDs
without great mistake. Most I've
learned are not original
renditions, so I can't play
along. I'm not satisfied and
wish to get out of my rut of
having to play someone else's
way. I want "original me". This
course sounds like it combines
all the training I need.
Sometimes, it drives me crazy to
have the teens come to the house
and play bits of songs that
"sound" familiar and never
finish their songs up. "I love
that song! Play the rest!"
"That's all I know." If I could
improve my skills with bends,
hammer ons, pull offs and
tapping, and could identify the
notes "they" were playing, then
"I" could repeat those young
mens' songs and show them how
it's really supposed to sound!
Of course, I'd keep everything
secret until I was pretty sure
I'd blow them away, and out
would come the Fender and
"their" song in "my" rendition!
Wouldn't that be awesome?? No
longer would my daughter's
boyfriend remember the best time
with "the mom" as singing "Hotel
California" together while
listening to CDs! I could go
down in history (in that young
man's mind). ~~but the thought
of blowing him away captures my
heart!~~ (Hey, she's sweet
sixteen! And I'm
over-protective!)
Enjoy your music everyone! If
you win, send us a "before" and
"after" sound file or video so
we can all smile really big
along with you!!
Tina
