only been playing for a month and ill give this video a 10/10...most others move way too fast where you spend most of your time rewinding or pausing the video to practice what was just taught...hes just repetitive enough to give me time to try things 3 or so times before he moves on...excellent work

6 minutes and 37 seconds of something that takes 4 seconds to learn. Literally almost blew my brains out watching this, hoping another riff was coming.

Great damn you tube teacher. One of the best I've came across

[brandongreene]

Showing me a hammer on for 2 minutes is definitely a blues riff.
