As you are coming up on 10k subscribers, it’s evident that we value your channel and teaching style. If you can add more value to a patreon member, by all means do so. One KZbinr you may want to check out for how he does this is John Robson Guitar Tuition. I have followed him for years and never felt like he’s dunning me for money. However, as you know, there are some out there that it is very apparent. Also, as the husband of a Filipina, I have a few barongs. I live in a hot climate and if I can get away with wearing them to a formal affair, then it’s so much better than wearing a suit and tie 😂. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Hi fretworkband. I think I said before we have some things in common. Now there's one more thing. My wife is also Filipina. She loves the shirts so I do too...lol. I also live in a hot climate...Arizona. Can't say I've heard of John Robson. I'll have to check him out. The patreon thing just isn't for me. As I mentioned...if someone wants me to demo stuff for pay...I'm ok with it, but I'm not soliciting for it. I am not wealthy or anything resembling it...lol, but if it happens, it happens. Merry Christmas my friend!

Help lol
