It is this kind of thing that made me ask the question. I've seen the people with multiple pages of credentials, and thats when I got to thinking about "did they REALLY study indepth with them, or did they pay for a lesson and a name for their web page?"
This could be way out there, but it seems to me I would only list people I've studied with that had a pretty noticable impact on my playing. I may not have spent a lot of time with Marvin, but there were 2 things I was having trouble with in my playing, and he cleared them up immediatly, not to mention the other useful knowledge he bestowed on me. Id much rather list him after being with him for 3 days, than another professional who i may have gone a few more times to, but didn't really help me improve.
