MY SIGNATURE GUITAR! (Also, the Dog and Theme Song Are BAAAACK!)

This is all thanks to you, my beloved LickNRiffers. I never dreamed I would someday have my very own signature guitar. This beautiful guitar by Faith is everything I could ever ask for in a guitar.
Also, you asked for the dog and the theme song to return - you got it.
Let's continue making amazing guitar music together.

Where are you, man?

[@FionaMisty]

He's okay ❤ He sent out an email in May saying that's it's been a very challenging 7 months.

[@andreddd89]

Was , was just checking internet again to see of he was still alove

[@lawtonmurrey8601]

Praying that you are well and safe. Hoping to see and hear more vids from you. God bless.

[@davidp5287]

I hope you're well. Longest I've gone without a video from you , has me worried. Thanks for all you did and do

[@raymorgan4657]

If I remember correctly, he lives in Israel, if so, I hope he's safe.

[@lordbaron9539]

I believe Tel Aviv @@raymorgan4657 Going by how consistent he was with uploading new content for a decade, or longer. I fear the worst. Shalom and Toda Assaf.

[@Ronbugy9]

Yes he is Israeli ❤

[@mityakiselev]

If you ever read this, I just wanted to say thank you. I've been trying to learn how to play the guitar for like a decade at this point, and I struggle a lot with self-confidence and stuff like that. I watch your channel since before the couch, and I might not watch everything all the time, but every now and then I learn something from you. I can't really put it into practice because my motor skills aren't the best, but I just wanted to say thank you for making me believe in myself a bit more

[@LickNRiff]

You made my day, my friend! Thank you so much!

[@lesleygorgasm]

hey man you've helped me so much in my fingerstyle guitar playing for well over 10 years. I love you dude and I feel like you've become a friend and teacher through all these years. Thanks for everything you do. You've done so much for me.

[@imgijoe119]

You deserve it Brother. One of my longtime gotos on KZbin. I have learned the likes of Let it Go (that I played for my Grandaugther's birthday some years back), Dust in the Wind (with that still painful descending C violin run), and Bridge Over Trouble Water (which inspired me to do an obsessively deep dive into this song). Thanks for all.

[@back2frontguitar113]

Life goes on but it's going to be difficult without a great person with passion for growth i really learnt a lot from you i started watching your content when you were in your garage using a whiteboard. I hope you and your family are safe and well. Kind regards Alan

[@scottsnet]

[@MD-ot3nl]

[@SuchNoodle]

Hey Assaf hope you're ok and doing well! Thank you for all the lessons

[@andrewjaramillo]

Thanks brother... you make guitar lessons fun. I feel.freedom.to.explore and I'm not afraid to.make mistakes. All the best!!👍🙂

[@LickNRiff]

My pleasure!

[@nandooo_]

Hi Assaf, I've been practice and learn from you since 2014, almost a decade ago. I literally forget about ur channel and suddenly it's come up from the recommendation (idk why it's unsubbing btw). Anyway, i just want to thank you for your lessons, watching this channel really bring me some nostalgia. Keep it up💪🏻

[@Enoughcrypto]

So is your signature guitar going to be mass produced? Where to buy

[@yashpathak8520]

Didn't know mango wood can be used for guitar.. Blue moon is awesome..Absolute beauty.. ❤❤ excited for upcoming videos

[@Devorous81]

I really hope you're okay... i've learned to play fingerstyle thanks to you and i've improved as a musician and as a person in this years. I've followed you for 10 years, since "You've got a friend in me" and i really hope to see you again soon.

[@brandoni_music]

You are one of my earliest inspirations. Love to see this! Keep it up 😎

[@THeMin1000]

Beautiful guitar!! Congratulations brother, wish you all the best

[@LickNRiff]

Thanks a lot!

[@georgebilbruck1821]

Been playing 20 years and spending 5 of them learning from you, man. Never quit doing what you're doing. I would do some shady stuff to take lessons from you lol.

[@Geordie-Gman]

Any update about him? the guy pretty much taught me how to fingerpick so I hope he's alright.

[@Chambalam]

Hey man, I found your channel just recently, and i was wondering if you could do a tutorial on Violet's Tale by Ren? Your content is awesome!

[@GetChristieLove1]

Hello, I was looking for your most recent video and could only find this 8 month old one, so like others here, I hope you are okay and doing well. I wanted to ask you if you could help me with learning and Old 1961 song by the Machucambos called "Pepito". On youtube it's under the title "Los Machucambos "Pepito" (1961) HQ Audio!" (posted 12 yrs ago) which is in color and a B/W one titled "Los Machucambos - Pepito (1961)" (posted 1 year ago) both show a little of what both the Guitarists are doing while she's singing. Video is slowed down slightly in the as the song is supposed to be slightly faster paced. First heard it when I was around 9 or 10 years old, and it's still one of the most Beautiful arrangements I've ever heard. It was a big international hit back in 1961, but since it's a foreign song, it's kind of been forgotten. Anyway, I've tried to figure out what they are doing but I can't get the Rythm/pattern down. I see where the fingers are, but except for some general chords from one of the guitarists, I can't exactly play what they are playing. I'm hoping that with your playing ability, you might be able to figure it out as I was very impressed with your old "Tequilla" lesson video. If you can figure that one out with finger style you played it in, then I thought to myself, if anyone can figure this "Pepito" song out, it's you.

[@hopfrogg9599]

Hoping you update us soon. Can't find any information on LickNRiff. Anyone know if he is ok?

[@gitaaa7740]

Somebody posted that he lives in Israel. Hope he is ok.

[@migueldumalag4839]

​@@gitaaa7740 oh no

[@pabloservin1679]

Hey man, congratulations, I have followed you since I was 21 or 22, now Im 35, with more weight and less hair haha, keep up the awesome!

[@jpb1958]

Assaf hope you are well buddy. Long long long time since we've heard from you.

[@z3rod696]

YAAAAY the doggy is back !!!! :) I'm so proud of you man, you finally have YOUR personnal guitar !! Honestly i'd like to see phylosophical videos again, like i told you in email a few month back; it's been toooo long ! And also experimentation lessons on chords, alternate tuning and etc could be awesome ! Like in the good old days !! PS : I just ordered Andrew Foy Baton Rouge guitar a few days back; can't wait to try it out ! Always wanted to have a solid cedar top guitar !!! ^^

[@LickNRiff]

Thank you so much!!

[@JJolaine]

I hope you are alright. If you are okay, have you any knowledge of a tutorial on John Legend’s “Nervous”? I can’t find anything on it, yet I LOVE this song. I genuinely hope that you are okay. Regards, Jamie.

[@hopfrogg9599]

Also checked his facebook page. Last updated October 17th 2023. Geesh, I never knew he had a wife. He just got a signature guitar, can't imagine he'd abandon the channel like this. Hoping he pops in with an update but I'm starting to fear that's not gonna happen.

[@hopfrogg9599]

Since it was a music festival that was attacked I checked the list of casualties from a government website. His name was not on the list for there or any other locations. I think something tragic must have happened here for him to just disappear. I also checked the hostage list. Nothing. It's odd that no one from his real life has come by to give us an update. Was he really this isolated? No family and friends were aware of his channel?

[@ludvanbeethoven1]

It’s very odd, i checked too. And at least his wife knew of his channel. Its possible he’s been recruited back to the military however I feel that if that was the case he would still post a video with sign of life or something

[@hopfrogg9599]

@@ludvanbeethoven1 Agreed. No way he would abandon the "Lick n Riffers" like this. At this point I am just hoping for closure. I was just a casual student. Popping in for a song here and there... but it still makes me feel a bit emotionally connected to the channel.

[@marcusekorn]

I am on his email list. He sent an email May 5th saying he’s burnt out and need a break from KZbin. He’s doing 1on1 lessons and planning a live master class.

[@z3rod696]

Yeah im also a student ! And this is the last email that i've got from him too !! Hopes he's safe and ok; and that he'll be back soon !

[@benjaminkleiber]

Wow very fun and amazing honor! Any chance you’d do a supertramp lesson on that beauty for us all? The logical song or give a little bit?

[@LickNRiff]

Thank you! I'll add it to my list :)

[@TristanKovacich]

love it man! well deserved 🎉

[@TristanKovacich]

wooo hoo! i love your channel! keep it up

[@ex9176]

I was thinking the same thing where are my brother from another mother are you ok is everything alright missing you man

[@kacijames6714]

Amazing guitar!!! Thanks for all the videos over the years. I've been playing for over a decade now, and I'm pretty sure you've been right there alongside me the whole way. I can't tell you how many times I've had to put your lessons down, and come back to them later, when I was more experienced. 😂 My favorite so far, out of all the things you've done, has been If I Only Had a Brain, it sounds so beautiful if you play it slowly, like you said! Anyway, thanks a million! If I had the opportunity to request a song, it would probably be Surfer Girl, by the Beach Boys. I know it's not a super popular song now-a-days, but it is an awesome song, and I KNOW you'd make an amazing arrangement. Regardless of what you choose to go with, I know it'll be awesome! Best regards!

[@LickNRiff]

Thank you my friend! My wife is a huge Beach Boys fan so I'd be happy to add this song to my list :)

Hi @LickNRiff, I'm trying to log into your Kartra portal for the guitar course I bought, but it says the account is not active anymore. Did you move it to a different platform?
