    I love the three string guitar in it's many forms. It makes music simple. Less is more. '6 strings, is three strings too many', so true.

    Loved the 12 bars blue lesson. I slowed the video so I could understand what you were teaching. I use to play electric guitar in a college stage band many years ago and your lesson helped me remember what I was taught. Del you rock !

    When you said to slur the third, it made a lot of sense to me. I play blues harp and that's exactly what a do on the harmonica. It's very difficult to the get the exact flat 3 when bending on the harp, but it's implied, slid in to, hit, but we get it and when you slur the third, and you get that classic blues sound. Great job on this video. I think you hit on some great points here!

    Your really great at explaining this and your able to keep people's attention you should put together an online course where people can watch individual 30 minute videos teaching them everything from beginners through the advanced stages you could charge $5 to $10 per video allowing them to review the video over and over for 6 months before they lose access to watch the video that they bought access to you can do it on a patreon link on TH-cam
