Esotropiart

I did some research into the Yamaha Guitar QuickStart DVD to see if I could figure out who the guy in the video is. I wanted to give him a quick credit on Esotropiart. It's strange that there are really no credits on the printed sleeve, and no names are referenced in the video or on the DVD menus. A Google search on the subject of course resulted in nothing (not even Google can't know the names if they aren't published anywhere - though Google brainiacs are likely working on a mind reading application). Somehow I happened upon the email address of someone who worked at the company, MIDItainment, where the DVD was published.

Taking a shot in the dark, I sent a short email telling of the missing credits and expressing my wonder who the "Yamaha Guitar Guy" is. To my surprise, I promptly received a very cordial and down-to-earth email from the president of the company. He informed me he was unaware that the names were not referenced and would see to it that subsequently printed media would include some sort of credits. It's cool that my random email would result in such action! So if anyone wants to know who the "Yamaha Guitar Guy" is, you have me to thank if it's printed on your DVD sleeve when you buy a Yamaha Gigmaker :)

The name of my first guitar instructor is George Castelles. I have been informed that he is a very talented guitarist and an all around nice guy. I would have assumed both by watching the video. Just goes to show you: "Ask, and you shall receive" and "You have not because you ask not". It's kind of funny: I have had at least one other recent real world experience that brought these verses to mind (James 4:2 & Luke 11:10). Now if only I can apply them where they are most relevant: in my relationship with God. If I get such favorable responses from the world of men, imagine how my Father will respond!
