| Joe Mott, as many of
you know has left CHODOSH GUITAR in order to go on to college. When
Joe first came here as a student he studied hard and quickly discovered a
deep love for jazz. He excelled in his studies and after becoming a
group teacher he soon proved to be very good at teaching private lessons
on a weekly basis. When Joe applied to Berklee they accepted him,

all. He then expressed his desire to win a scholarship and showed diligent
efforts at attempting to do so. |
| We read the requirements and I
sent in a letter of recommendation. He'd already studied everything
they asked for, as we had planned for his entrance exam, but now he needed
to make a good recording of a jazz and a classical song to apply for his
scholarship. After picking out "Night and Day" from a
selection of Joe Pass |

| transcriptions and
Bach's Bouree in E minor, I set up the computer in my office to record and
told him to get busy. |
| It was probably for about
three weeks and six days a week that Joe was here recording his
demos. Mind you, we're only open five days a week! In any
event, you can hear the recording by clicking on the two pictures with the
green frames around them. Pretty good, huh? It was shortly
after this that Joe won one of the weekly contests for Guitarmageddon at
the Guitar Center Store on Sheridan Blvd. in Arvada, Colorado. Quite
a year! |

Congratulations Joe!
We are very impressed with your achievements and I am particularly
delighted with the wonderful example that you have set for your
fellow students and as a teacher at Chodosh Guitar. - Michael Chodosh |

Achieve
that dream!
