What a great video! Thank you for the clear explanation of odd time signatures. I'm definitely going to practice this.

How many Kiesel guitars do you have? What is your favorite guitar you own?

[jnbovee]

I should be getting my first Kiesel tomorrow! Waited about 14 weeks for it

Do you have a few lessons about those fancy Sus chords and funky shapes and what keys they fit in?

I have a hard time with not counting that playing in a usual 4/4, any tips? Am I totally off? I’ll admit I’m not the best at keeping time so it could just be my brain kinda forcing that count

Fantastic video, thanks! Now here’s my (probably stupid) question. For argument (and understanding) sake, why don’t we count 6/8 as 6/6. Never understood fully as to where the 8 is. Alternatively could you explain how we count 8 beats under the 6. Thanks again.

What a coincidence i wrote a 6/8 over 4/4 yesterday :D
