    I purely appreciate this alternative so well presented. And I like your guitar. It's a thing of beauty, a fitting piece for a guitar teacher instead of the dime a dozen strat blech I'm seeing always.

    Another fun lesson, going to be a real test of my picking accuracy but that’s a good thing.
    Also looking forward to trying the scale work. Just means a bunch of practice before my loops sound any good. Said it before, the looper really lets you hear how good your doing. It really allows you to hold a mirror up to your playing.
    Hey, hope your having a good summer and are able to find a cool shady place to enjoy it.
    Thanks again Shane.

    • @GuitarAtWork
      @GuitarAtWork  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you Wally - as usual, I agree with every point you make. The looper is a great practice tool indeed. All the best with it and enjoy a piping hot August, Shane

    I use to play it the original way, but by the time you get to the end of the song, well man-o-man, a bit of a workout for sure.... thx for sharing as I'm going to revisit this tune but play it this way as we are possibly adding to a live setlist and I need to save my hands for our other 39 songs lol.

    Very happy to be a new patreon member. I appreciate you mixing electric guitar with acoustic lessons. Would you mind taking a moment to let us know your settings on your electric amp and guitar. Would like to find that great tone!

    • @GuitarAtWork
      @GuitarAtWork  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Mike - very glad to have you with us. Glad you are enjoying. I’m running my electric guitar through an fx processor (AX8) with just a bit of reverb and compression. EQ is basically flat.

    Hey, I just found your channel (and subscribed), talk about right down my alley! I have played for years but still consider myself the "Friday (or Saturday) night get together with a friend or two and pretend we can play" level player. Many of the songs you have here are exactly what I love to play.
    Anyway, I may have missed it but, do you or can you make one on Blind Faiths "Can't Find My Way Home"? I kind of play it something of a drop D version and would really be interested in your intermediate level interpretation of the song if possible. Thanks man! I've already picked up one or two songs from your videos and really appreciate your work and your teaching/playing style.
