Hi Mike! You are a phenomenal guitarist and I love the work you have done on Guitar Tricks. I received an email on the 25th of July announcing the new John Frusciante Artist Study. I looked for it under the Artist Study Lessons heading and couldn't find it. I located it only after doing a search on John Frusciante. Could you kindly ask your website administrators to show it under the Artist Study Lessons? Thanks, Ron Fangio
