walliman, one guitar player to another, i am astounded at your playing my friend, you know how to hold back and when to let go and you have your own unique style, maybe a touch of other influences of course i can hear them in your playing but my god man just awesome guitar voicings from you in just about every vid that i have seen my friend .

I love the way you express a motif, go an do your own thing, and then come back to that motif changing little things about it :D

What i like about your videos David is that you try to take the way of thinking of the instrument player in another level not just like most guys do by focusing all the time in technique and speed and such stuff.
Thank you for this my friend you're really inspiring!

Thanks so much. This lesson gave me a new way to hear a song I am writing, and what it is becoming is much cooler than waht I have been doing up to now. Thanks again for the cool gift.

David. Thank you. I was having a shitty day today, and this brought my spirits right back up. Keep up the amazing work.

[MateoBakija]

I'm watching this almost every day, it's a great piece of music you played there. I especially like that sad to happy part at 0:49, nice change of mood, really well played. God bless you bro.

One of the best lessons I've ever seen. I'm a newbie and this made a lot of sense. It's what I want to be able to do. It's my next step in my journey to learn to play. Thanks for the ideas presented here!!

[guitarkis]

Great lesson. I always try to tell a story with any lead I do, and this helped remind me of the basis of putting that story together. Thanks so much!

I still gotta long way to go....

i've actually been working developing ideas better lately and it was great to hear your advice on this concept! thanks david!

[joecrowsantibanez]

Thank you. I am excited that I found your channel. It reminds me of what I need to do and work on.

Thanks for this. I've really tried embracing the idea of playing with a theme and repeating it. It actually makes it more fun also because I get to be creative and think of the best theme that works Ian's not just jam scales aimlessly. Your musical view is awesome and your videos are great, thanks.

You put a lot of feeling when you play and this is awesome. Great lesson!

[granlector]

Thanks for this valuable lesson. It's gonna take me while to be able to actually do what you are teaching here, but at least I'm starting thinking about it. Great job!

[alegratis]

Beautiful phrasing, as usual! Thanks for sharing!

[SamsaraOfAtaraxia]

Miss your vids man! I haven't seen one in so long that this seemed so different. Ha ha. I was turned on to so much information by watching your vids it changed a lot of my music for the good. And I totally 100% agree with your use of the word "development." That's something that I include in my guitar lessons these days. Good stuff! :)

[prsfrank]

This is a great lesson, expression and feeling
