					<title>The Times, They Are &apos;A Changing</title>

					<description>&lt;!--StartFragment--&gt;
Looking back to just a couple of years ago, I don&amp;rsquo;t think I would&amp;rsquo;ve ever imagined I&amp;rsquo;d be teaching where I am now or playing in the groups that I am now without really allowing myself to adapt to change.&amp;nbsp; I now realize that I&amp;rsquo;ve picked up so many new skills by allowing myself to transcend the genres I felt comfortable playing on the guitar and/or thought I enjoyed playing the most.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Accepting new challenges is vital for growth.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;rsquo;m challenging you to keep things fresh and seek out the information that you need.
&amp;nbsp;
The music world is changing at an ever-increasing rate.&amp;nbsp; The industry&amp;rsquo;s major labels are disappearing and the online movement has connected so many to the relatively unknown.&amp;nbsp; In the past month, I have dedicated myself to focusing more time reaching out online. &amp;nbsp;I&apos;ve specifically attempted to connect with more musicians of all styles in my area.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;To my surprise, I immediately met many new people who&amp;rsquo;ve already opened new doors for me. &amp;nbsp;Sometimes it can take a whole lot of effort for very little reward.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes it can take very little effort to receive a large reward. &amp;nbsp;Excel in your craft, whatever it may be.&amp;nbsp; If the guitar is something you want to learn, then go for it.&amp;nbsp; The &lt;a href=&quot;./lessons.cfm&quot;&gt;Lennon School of Guitar&amp;nbsp;is a place designed to help you achieve your goals. &amp;nbsp;You never know what tomorrow will bring.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes a simple reminder can spur the change needed to open a new door.


Thanks and Take Care,

-Blake Lennon
