Yes! 🙌 A project for the day/week/month/year. Thanks Alex. Can’t wait until I get out of work! 🍻

Awesome lesson!! Thank you!!

Alan

Wonderful. Thanks so much! The Latin flavour points to Piazzolla. Any tango in prospect?

Hey Alex, I'm just catching up now with Pt 2 of "Troublant Bolero." I've been looking forward to it since hearing your rundown on this planned 2-parter session last week. I hardly know what to do say about the amazing quality of the job you've done with this latest. Simply put, I'm in with all opinions expressed above - only perhaps underlined, repeated, and offered up to The Fretboard Journal or some such place as a paid advertisement / testimonial to the astonishing work you do for all of us who are lucky enough (and smart enough :-O) to be subscribers on your page. Clearly, Patreon is a goldmine of great stuff for those of us who are members of the "Six String Tribe," if you will. But within that already fabulous gang of gifted players and teachers alike, you're a true standout for the amount of energy you so obviously dedicate to your efforts here. In however much time it has been since you've had your "studio" operational here, I've learned a whole world of material - highly diverse and eclectic, ranging across an incredibly rich landscape of styles and genres - that I'm quite sure I wouldn't. have been to learn elsewhere. Part of that is probably sheer luck! How often does one find a teacher with whom one has so many influences and stylistic interests in common? But that's just a small part of it I think. The rest is down to the work you put into these hefty lesson packages. From the super-precise transcriptions and tabs to the video play throughs, the focus on all the special bits that usually aren't laid out anywhere in such meticulous fashion, on to the gear talk and your commentary in general, you make it possible to really dive deep into the work at hand and with the requisite amount of "sweat," actually begin to approach things I always thought were unapproachable - at least in one lifetime. Enough gushing. I really just wanted to say "thanks man. Please, please, keep it up!!" I'm sure there is a whole cadre of players here who would echo that sentiment! Cheers from Boston!!

Wow Michael, your comment means so much to me.. you've made my week buddy! I'm so glad you feel inspired by the lessons and the variety of styles I cover here. I'm looking forward to bringing even more styles to the channel.. bluegrass and folk also and maybe even a bit of "world" music at some point. Thank you for the kind words regarding the effort I put into the lessons, I'm so glad it comes across that way. I do really take pride in teaching and enjoy it very much. It's certainly a passion of mine along with the playing itself. Really touched by your comment my friend, thanks again 🙏🏻
