Would YOU Like To Take Guitar Lessons From Robby LeBlanc???

If you have ever thought about taking some Guitar Lessons NOW would be a GREAT to call me!

I realize everyone that reads this post does not live in Las Vegas, thus taking guitar lessons from me could be more challenging...

With that being said...
Over the years I have taught thousands of student how to play the guitar. I taught privately in my home as well in two Universities, Southern
Connecticut State University and Wesleyan Universite in Middletown, Connecticut.

In 1995 I kind of retired from teaching guitar and explored other avenues, but throughtout that time I have always continued to perfrom gigs and concert.YES, I'd give a lesson here and there, but nothing on a regular basis.

BOTTOM LINE...It's time I start teaching a few students once again and I'm EXCITED!

I have a few time slots available.

FEE: $45 an Hour

GETTING STARTED SPECIAL - 4 Lessons For $100 (LIMITED First Come First Serve)

Let me know if you have any questions.

Keep Being Brilliant,
Robby

An Inspiring Act of SELFLESSNESS!

"Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.” Dalai Lama XIV

Let me introduce you to my friend Dan Belhassen. We met in Africa for my Mt. Kilimanjaro climb this past June.

We bonded early in the climb because he saved  me from falling off a 100 foot cliff in the very first hour of our climb.

We started our trek into the jungle toward Mt Kilimanajro on June 26, 2012. It was the tail end of rainy season. The roads we had to travel by truck in order to get to Kilimanjaro were still pretty muddy. So muddy in fact that our truck got stuck in the mud 3 miles short of our starting location.

Yes, we had to walk 3 miles in the slippery, sloshy, green and bushy mud jungle just to get to the starting point of our Kilimanjaro hike. It was a fairly hot and humid day. As I recall, it was about 90 degrees and wet dripping humid!

About 10 minutes after we started hiking from the offical start point, I got caught in a mud slide patch. It's hard enough to walk in the mud, but with the added backpack made it all more challenging.

Suddently, I slipped, fell and started sliding. I began to scramble, trying to grab onto to whatever I could to help me to stop sliding and more importantly, to stop moving. As I was sliding, I realized I had no idea where I was sliding into...

In an instant, I found myself going over a ledge that had a 100 foot drop into vegetation, that God only knows how far down that drop actually went. In a lightening moment, my fellow climber, Dan Belhassen from Canada, reached out and grabbed me by my shirt collar. As I recall he fell to the ground and someone held onto to him as he was holding onto me.

Here I am dangling 100 feet atop this ledge, backpack on, Dan holding onto to me by my just my shirt collar. It's not like I weighed just 85 pounds. At that time I weighed 280 pounds! That's a lot of weight to hold onto, one handed, on a ledge! Not an EASY feat. Dan's ability to hold onto me allowed me time to grab some tree roots that were sticking out of the ledge.

As I was dangling, still not sure if I was injured from the fall, I remember praying silently, "PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE GOD, don't let me break a bone!" Werner Berger yelled down to me, "Robby, Are you hurt? Can you move?" As I was holding onto the roots with Dan still holding onto me,I re-affirmned that I was ok and just needed help back to the path. So Dan and Michae,l our head guide pulled me back up to the path.

It was an intense first 10 minutes! What a way to start the Kilimanjaro journey!

But honestly, what was most AMAZING was the SPEED, and MANNER in which Dan Belhassen risked his own safety to help me. He didn't even know me. We just met the day before at the hotel.

Here Dan is, risking his safety and life to help someone he didn't even know.

That's what I call COURAGE, CHARACTER and a pure act of SEFLESSNESS. To be on the receiving end of such CARING is indestribcable gift.

I know Dan does not want, nor does he have a need for acknowledment here, but the FACT is, he put my life before his own, without hesitating. It was a NATURAL REACTION.

There are only two types of people I know of that react in such a way in similar circumstances:
1. TRAINED Special Opps Milatary type personell. They TRAIN for emergencies.
2. UNTRAINED Spiritual Warriors of life that think about others before themselves.

I started this article with a quote by his Holiness The Dalai Lama: "Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.”

Dan Belhassen you are an AWESOME example of the human spirit in ACTION. Thank you for being being part of my journey.

Keep Being Brilliant,
Robby LeBlanc

Where Has Robby LeBlanc Been?

This past year, (2012), was one of the most incredible years of my life!

The opportunity to finally climb Mount Kilimanjaro was truly a DREAM come true! So many LESSONS LEARNED from and on that journey...(A book is in process - I'll Keep you posted).

After coming back from Kilimanjaro, I had a few speaking engagements to talk about the trip and adventure. ( I'd Like TO DO More of These In The Future)

Then, a few short months later I started feeling a bit under the weather and a little depressed. I talked to a few high end athletes I knew about this and they ALL said, "after accomplishing such a HUGE GOAL, you are bound to be depressed for awhile.

In September I decided to make a list of ALL the things that make me happy. Great Exercise by the way!  It was an interesting list, but the thing the really suprised my Vickie from that list was, APPLE. Yes, being in an APPLE Store taking my One To One Training Lesson.

Then I had a car accident in November from which I am still recovering. More on that in the future...

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS...I've been working PART-TIME at the APPLE Store in Las Vegas, at the FAshion Show Mall since January 4, 2013! And it has been AWESOME! Great People and Great Company!

I am able to still play my gigs, and work on my documentaries, which is good.

If you are in town, (Las Vegas) and have some APPLE questions, stop in, I'd love to help.

As far as public music gigs go, I am hoping to have a regular gig in Las Vegas, one day a week starting in April. I will keep you posted on that too! As soon as I get the location and dates, I'll let you know...

You will notice in the immediate future that I will be posting on this blog quite a bit more frequently, on an assortment of topics.

WITH THAT IN MIND:
- How are you doing?
- Did you set your goals for the New Year?
- Are you making progress?

I'd love to know what you are up to...

Please feel free to leave your response here.

Keep Being Brilliant,
