Two trials booked, both at 2 rosette restaurants. Happy with that but they're in the lake district. Don't really know much about that area except for the fact its in the middle of nowhere, which isn't really what I want.

only thing I don't like is the "Other guitar teachers" section. Seems a bit petty.

WTF? Affiliates? This is not 1995. Pages of reciprocal links a) don't work and b) look unprofessional. They really don't help your business. Nor does the mobile only phone number, FWIW.

Not really, what you're doing is answering the reader's question of "Why should I pick you?", and doing it directly.

A good, modern example of that is the http://whymicrosoft.com website - they do something similar - comparing their product range to the popular competitors.

Yeah, but that's about specific companies and comparison.

This is kind of a vague list yelling at some amorphous guitar teacher blob. "BET HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW GUITAR PROPERLY DOES HE. I DO"

I don't know, maybe if it was phrased as testimonies from his students being like "My old guitar teacher was shite"

I see your point.

So rather than being "Here's why others are shit", it's more "Here's what to watch out for from others, I definitely don't do that shit".

Not really. It's educating people on why I'm better :lol: All that stuff is true and makes a huge difference.

And Tet, Google disagrees :P

Got my head shaved for the first time which feels amazing, then I attempted to headbang with the only wig I own and it stayed on my head :D
