I personally think that Perf's low-tech "old-school" method of pen-and-paper presentation is BRILLIANT! 1-He makes the lesson "personalized", you see an actual human being writing down the lesson manually with pen and paper in real-time as the lesson unfolds, rather than some talking head giving a sterile presentation of subject matter using fancy generated graphics. 2-He encourages the student to follow along and take notes of the lesson using pen and paper, instead of just relying on the student to remember by pure memory power alone. He is actively engaging the student by making the lesson an interactive process involving physical ACTIVITY. This forces your brain to internalize the lesson quickly, because you have to focus and pay attention, writing stuff down in real-time, just like how students would do in a live classroom in school. 3-At the end of the lesson, you now have your own personal lesson instruction manual. You will actually be able to understand it easily, since your hands, guided by your brain, made it. Ngayon... Saan ba ako makabili ng Cattleya na notebook at Reynolds na bolpen? Gusto ko kase authentic na Pilipino guitar lesson hehehe

Hi perf, I taught myself how to play the guitar 10 years ago from reading tabs and youtube videos. I would call myself an intermediate player, and I got stuck there for a while until I found your videos. I have recently started getting back to music, watching your videos motivated me to go the next step. Learning about Key signatures and how to correlate them to the guitar when jamming with my friends, makes the experience much more fun. Thanks a lot, keep it up. You are helping a lot of new musicians each and every day. I like the merchandise also.
