So, if you would, have a look at rickmckeon.com and let me know what you think.

The site seems like a good start.
The tabs are clear and big, everything easy to understand.
Not much multimedia, no sound, or film.
Its looks like you are soliciting beginning players, or almost beginning.
I went to download some of those tabs, and the download times are real long (I have dsl), and one download said 55 mins.--very slow compared to most sites.
It would be cool to showcase your talent a bit, so people could see how good you are.--play a clip of yourself doing a real smoker of a tune...
The background color is boring.
When someone goes to your site, it should open up with a blinding AZ sun, with you coming out of the sun and floating down to earth just wailing on your guitar.--Then when you land, you say "want to learn how to do this?"

I was interested to hear and see the Death Creeping song on your website but it took forever to download the video. The video and sound quality were good but I wonder why it took so long to download. What is the size of the file? Have you considered posting the videos on YouTube? By the way, I like the way you play the song. I wish there was Internet when I was learning to fingerpick years ago (from Stefan Grossman's tabs).

I'm just starting to add content to the guitar side and hope to have more intermediate level songs up soon.

I'm wondering about the tabs. They are pretty small pdf files and should load quickly.

Click on the song "Death Come Creeping" and when it asks if you want to use realplayer go ahead and try it just to see how long it really takes. On my machine it opens and starts to play right away even though it isn't completely downloaded.

Thanks for your feedback.
Rick

But, I can go on many other sites like Gerald Ross, Slide Planet, Howard Emmerson, etc, and listen to stuff w/o any wait time, or problems.
