Nice resource, I didn’t know about this guy!
Its a great youtube channel, lots of bitesize vids full of tips and info. He’s a really great guitarist you should check out his solo album too.
Great find! Had no idea anyone (especially a guy playing with a big name) did anything like this. I’ll definitely be using this a lot.
Hi Mike thanks for stopping by, I’m glad you found it useful. I really don’t know where he finds the time to think of something new to video every week. He is very natural in front of the camera too, a great teacher.
