If you feel uncertain about how to tune to Open D and Open G, if you'd like to learn basics of fingerpicking and slide playing, watch this video first (11 mins only)
Then join me LIVE! Welcome!

Attention! The "Lick Of The Week" is being played in Open D today, so prepare by watching the video:

Another great streaming session! Thanks! P.S. Hope you include Blind Willie Johnson (a gospel/blues guitarist) in your future sessions! His "Dark Was The Night - Cold Was The Ground" is a masterpiece!

Nice to see and listen to you Mac!  Also, thanks for backing us all up :D 
Music and playing for me is a lot about interaction, so cudos!
Thank you also for putting up this weekly event on YT, since mondays are the worst time-wise for me.
However, I've booked mon 7'th for the live experience :)
All the best from Lund, and my Style N sends it's regards
