John, Loving your videos and I am learning so much. Please do a tutorial for the finger picking song at the beginning. It sounded awesome and I would love to learn it.

A very nostaligic video, Lee. I remember those ads that inspired you. For me, It was watching John Williams on the cleo lane show one Sunday night. he sat there and played cavatina. I got a guitar for my 7th birthday. I had one lesson then never played guitar again until lockdown. 40+ years later. Love your inspiring vids.

You're such an analogue OG, love it.
Also, you told the story of how you got introduced to slide guitar. Let me tell mine: Once upon a time I clicked on this video and the rest is history.
So congrats, you went from being inspired to becoming the inspiration.

Watching your videos has inspired me to dust off my old acoustic and get playing again after 20 years. I'm loving it even though my fingers ain't what they used to be! It's coming back though!

I was lucky enough to see Labamba when I was 4 or 5!!! I played a tennis racket acting like it was a guitar for about a yr until I finally got my first squier!!!! Love me some Ritchie Valens!!!! Rock on!!💪

Very interesting video, i just picked up the guitar in my mid 20s now and started watching videos and reading tabs widely available. It's way easier now, charming story and thanks for the tutorials on fade to black & to live is to die.

[tripp]

Yes please do a video on that original of yours from the beginning. Even if it's just a video of you playing it, so I can see what your left hand is doing :)

Slide sounds sp good. Ive never tried it tho, you have inspired me to try it out!

[alipa]

I really liked it JLB, thanks for sharing! I would like to know what is your connection with Morocco? I know you’ve been there a few times, but it’s the curious George in me asking!

[irieandi]

Thanks a lot !Thats great timing. I just bought me a brass slide 3 days ago and now you come up with this video. I would also love to see a tutorial for this opening tune, reminds me of shakey graves. He plays a lot in open D

[DD-eight]

Hell yeah man!! Awesome video!! I love the blues!!I’ve also fell in love with Bluegrass lately!! Would love to see some of your renditions of Billy Strings or Doc Watson tunes!!! Not many people on YouTube cover these!! Cheers mate! And hope you hv a great Xmas!

[johnwall]

How long did it take for you to pick up slide it's one of those things I struggle with there's a song called cat fish blues and it's awesome on slide

[robbiehart]

Great story..tutorial, question, do you get paid if I were to let the ads play through instead of skipping them ?

[Harambre]
