What are the first things that I should do if someone claims that I owe a non-existing, previously paid-off, or otherwise bogus debt?

"Chicken truthers" maintain that there are no such things as chickens. How would you respond?

It seems to me that it takes a strong desire to play to get past the beginning stage of playing guitar. For a long while, it hurts, you can't play anything cool, and you sound terrible. Do you find that the people who come for lessons usually have the motivation to push through this, or do you have to struggle with students who just don't have it? If so, are you ever able to ignite it in them?

The difference between play and practice is a thing I wish I had learned young! If I had done the kind of stuff I do now (recording myself and listening critically, finding things I can't play and working on them slowly, etc.) in high school, I could have been a contender.
