Hey fellas, I was just listening to the latest Session and J mentioned that some new listeners consider The Session an advanced homebrew show. I see where they are coming from and I think that J explained his view point well. Here is a potential solution for new and more seasoned listeners alike. What about a Session Syllabus? I know that the site has a great search option, but this is something different. We could develop something like a course syllabus for the newbies according to topic and skill level. For example, we could have a sticky in the forum that would list out something like:
