The last pattern is basically how Dust in the Wind is played. Loving your lessons. I don’t get why you don’t get more views.

Excellent video and instruction. You went over each pattern nice and slow, then showed us what it is supposed to sound like. Thank you so much! I'm another subscriber!

Great lesson, it's really helpful to get all of those patterns down. Once learned there are so many beautiful songs you can play with them :)

0:27 sounds like sprach zaruthrastra (aka Ric flair's theme song).

[JordyDeLang]

Is it weird when I say rolling up with my ring finger first feels more natural than rolling down with my index first, even though my ring finger isn't as strong as the other two. Maybe because of many failed attempts at learning tremolo that it feels that way.
