Your unique and organized way of making videos is great and has helped me learn & understand Dead tunes I've always loved, and I've even used some vids to re-learn songs that I thought I knew. That being said, seeing you post a pentatonic lesson is definitely something I really am enjoying.

Very calm, organised and balanced teaching.Thank you.

Nice branching out to general lessons awesome! This is probably give your channel more growth. I would love to see the success for all the work you give your vids. please don't give up the dead roots completely though. Much love from Portland Oregon

Awesome lesson man, definitely just subscribed. You should do a turn on your lovelight lesson by the dead, that would be killer!

You're like a robot but I like on how the way you explain things. Keep it up sir!

First, thank you for your videos! Second, Happy New Year. Third, couple ideas for videos in 2021: 1) a video similar to this one, but looking at shapes and theory of modes 2) basic approaches and techniques to get started with Jerry-style lead improv. I know he uses major and minor scales, modes, and targets chord tones, but I’m still struggling, brother.

I would love to see a quality lesson covering the tunes Big Railroad blues and Tennessee Jed

Thanks for actually giving the formula in the why behind the what can't stand these fake guitar teachers that say well it's fret number five and fret number a and then fret number five and then front number seven that's for amateur hour
