"“As I am sitting here listening to my son Jordan playing guitar and to hear how good he is and the things he can do on it just amazes me!!! I can remember he picked up one of my guitars a few years ago. There is one person that I need to thank and that is Mitchell Truen for taking Jordan under his wing and keeping him going and teaching him and explaining what the guitar is all about. So Mitch, for that, I thank you and because of you, Jordan’s guitar has become part of him and he is never without it, Just like you told him, he is going to be something special to music some day and right now to me he already is. If you are interested in studying guitar, I highly recommend anybody’s kids, as well as adults, to look Mitch up, you won’t be disappointed.” Rick &Jordan Ogden
