My dumb ass thought this was in harmonic minor

@@rodrigogomes2064 Phrygian is simply the natural minor with a minor 2nd so that makes sense

[@huambo]

Nick, you're my favourite guitarist, because although you have great chops , you choose melody above all else. Skills are what you point at and go wow. Melody is what makes you listen to it in the car, on the bus, and with a glass of scotch. Dude. You're inspiring.

[@AliceKaneWolf]

Your music is quickly becoming some of my favorite and inspiring stuff, keep up the good work man!

Glad to hear this!

[@miabennett1363]

Have to say, I've been going through your back catalogue of tracks and I'm absolutely astounded by how enjoyable and fun your music is. Over the years, I've developed focal dystonia, and caused me a lot of problems playing guitar, to the point where I no longer want to practice. I do what I have to, and that's all. I recently found a way around it, thanks to a Bass player's channel on YT, he's called Scott. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the channel. He just wears a glove and it helps him, I tried it, and found it had a similar effect. I still have a lot of pain, but having recently watched your interview with good ol' Cap'n Lee from Andertons, I'm genuinely inspired to work through it, and continue with practicing like I used to. I know how much it's going to hurt, but I'd just like to say, you've inspired a guitarist who needed it. Keep up the fantastic work :)

[@LawlzToTheWawlz]

Matt Bennett channel is Scott's bass lessons

[@miabennett1363]

GIGOM yes! That's the one! Thank you for that :)

[@NinjaSushi2]

Don't forget to stretch your hands and wrist. I have overly tight wrist and hands myself and stretching is such a blessing.

[@NinjaSushi2]

Turns out Botox may help relieve the symptoms but still no cure since it's neurological. :(
