You’re in! Thx so much!

That's what I would get as well! Got ya down and really appreciate you watching and subscribing!

Hmmm...really? Democrats? Well my friend, bakers make bread so you need to blame them on high prices. Are you one of these people who blames politicians instead of the corporations? Make your own bread.

Thanks so much for watching!!

Really appreciate it!!

Thank you so much!

So true. My first lesson as a jazz student in college was an eye opener. My teacher was shocked I didn’t have all the fretboard memorized. He stopped the lesson, rescheduled for 2 days later and said before the next lesson, you have to have every note on the fretboard memorized. I didn’t have time for acronyms, so it’s weird that I never had to use them. Acronyms are a great tool but they need to be used, then “forgotten”.

Thanks! Well, you’ll be one of the first to know. I mean who else is going to mix and master it?!

Thanks my man!

Yes! I should have made that point, glad you mentioned it. I’ll make sure to say that when I make videos like this. Really appreciate you watching the videos!

Thank you so much for watching it! I keep forgetting to comment that this acronym came from a student. I thought he said “Alpo”, but he said “apples”. Thought it was funny enough and pretty hard to forget so I made a little video about it. Again, I really appreciate you watching the channel!

Thanks so much! You’re in!

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! It should be mandatory for all new students to learn on cheap guitars! It’s how we learn to develop a relationship with an instrument. With a good setup and good working pickups, really don’t need much else besides an amp of course. Got you down for the giveaways!

Thank you! I’ve never won anything myself so why not give someone else that great feeling! Really appreciate it!!

Thank you so much!

Thank you for watching and subscribing! Really appreciate it.

Got ya down! Appreciate you watching the video!

You're in! Really appreciate it!

Thanks Shawn! I appreciate the comment. I was just thinking I need to pick up the bass more. I will now!

Thanks so much! I appreciate you having a listen and leaving a comment!

Thanks so much for watching and especially for commenting! I will have a video on “Bursting”coming up! There are benefits of playing slow but, the main one for me is the slower I go the more my muscles get a workout. Like endurance training, then I can play faster sooner. When I was first beginning as a student, I never practiced slow. Had all the speed I needed but slow practice killed me. I didn’t have the endurance. Yeah, paying way ahead of your own abilities is the best way to challenge yourself to play faster- faster than we think we can. Thx!

Thanks Josh!

Please do!

Thanks for watching. My first guitar teacher had me train my 4th finger early on because it’s a pain to develop. I still work on strengthening it each day.

Thanks so Inch for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it!

Thanks for letting me know!

I don’t own any makeup and I just wear black t-shirts. I would make a terrible sex worker.

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching the video and commenting. I’d love to do a video on how to become friends with the metronome. We all remember how daunting it was when we first started. Again thank you so much!

I think that’s the greatest compliment I’ve ever received. I can’t tell you how much that means and inspires me as a musician/teacher. Thank you. I really appreciate you watching the video and subscribing as well, very grateful!

@@raygehring That's just you being modest. What you are doing here is what is inspiring.

@@niteshrdubey Thank you!!

Thanks again! It’s my favorite kind of video to make- what gets to the root of making progress. when I started setting a timer and working with the Metronome years ago, it really tighten things up and made everything I played better, and easier. So glad that professor in college showed me that to stay focused.

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing! I appreciate the comments, helps a lot and means a lot!

Thx! Well, I'm expecting more comments w/folks defending it because, they should. My snarky opinion is only silly commentary, as you know.

You're right, couldn't agree more. A great example of this is in "Lush Life" by Billy Strayhorn. But, I did say "snarky" at the very beginning so it's not serious. I do stand by it as being over-used and cheesy, but so are a million other things, like myself! Fun to poke the bear.

I don’t think he was being 100% serious Flonei :)

@@joshball8674 Thanks Josh! No, being snarky, andf yes, I've used those in the past too! Hope you're doing well!

Thanks again for watching!

You’re the best! Look forward to seeing you all soon!

@@raygehring Likewise!

Thanks so much for watching! Really appreciate it!
