Mate,
Any chance of a pdf notation, or is this the subject of your next series?

Brilliant Steve, make’s the simple sound endlessly complex. Loved the sound of those thirds. Will definitely be using heeding this advice.

Way to go, Steve. Great use and tribute to Paul Jackson, Jr.’s trick! As always excellent job teaching to us.

Thanks Steve! I really look forward to these mini lessons. I have 4 of your guitar courses and really appreciate the fact that I have you as my instructor, when I want, where I want and I don’t have to pay a monthly fee for personal lessons. I have learned more already then I did with 2 years of expensive lessons. I’m 64 and learning guitar all over again and doing my art (see website) makes my retirement very enjoyable. Way to go!

Great trick I can’t wait to try it out! I love watching and listening to you play Steve! I just received your Learn and Master the Guitar course as a Christmas gift, and am progressing-you are a wonderful teacher! My dad, age 85 has been playing guitar since he was a kid, self taught, great musician, and when i go see him on weekends we play together-great joy!
