It’s Friday once again and time for another talented TakeLessons student to show off what they’ve been learning! This week we’re featuring Murli in Plainfield, IL, who has been taking guitar lessons with Adam G. for one year. Murli is 50 years old. Although he has played guitar for many years, this has been his first time actually taking lessons and it looks like he’s really learning a lot!
