ESPN meets guitar playing! One of the most helpful and interesting music education concepts I've seen online. Often watching performances don't feel like enough -- to see the discussion and application take place is invaluable. Please make more!

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

Thanks Corey, that's pretty much exactly what we are going for. You can excpect more soon!

I guess you guys found your groove; it's highly educational and a lot of fun to watch. This is def one of the first instructional vids I sat out completely. Christiaan compliments on your mastering the guitar now! John, don't be shy man, you've got what it takes and so uch toshare; Brad you're doing great here man, not only taking over the solo in the style of your predecessor, but also coming up with new stuff I haven't seen you do before. ! Keep 'em comin'. . .

Just got around to this series. Wonderful interaction in the discussion of how to approach performing a classic. There's so much inspirational knowledge and amazing ability crammed into this video. Also, the discussion is so entertaining.

Stochelo's riff brings to (my) mind the Ragtime era.

Welke gitarist noem je nou op 21:00? Goeie video trouwens! Zou je het misschien een keer kunnen hebben over voorkomende blessures, of hoe die te voorkomen?

Bravo! Very nice concept! (for an instant I thought this was monty python :-) Did you make a decision on who will be your beer endorser? Maybe a little attention to the mics? For the rest: go on!

[@ChristiaanvanHemert]

+J. Walstra Thanks! Yeah, I didn't have a mic stand that was long enough to use a boom mic, so I used a shotgun mic for the conversation but that didn't work as well as I'd hoped. Guess, I'd better invest in a longer, higher mic stand!
