hey sage, picked up acoustic 4 or 5 yrs ago. did the self taught route and all the bad technics, like not using a pick. i remember watghing you teach ain't talkin bout love by van halen, never saw anyone show how to use whammy like that before, and on an sg...so now I've got a Wolfgang wg standard guitar and evh 5150 40 watt amp, had to order some evh pedals and waiting...meanwhile i got your free lessons online and will be joining your pro series, i think that's what it was called soon...just wanted you to know i really enjoy your lessons...working on the alternate picking today,trying to purge these bad technics, by the way i'm 60 yrs young and loving it, thanks.
David, I love that my friend. I can hear your excitement through your comment. So glad you are on board. I am standing by when you need me. This is a journey, so have fun on every step of the way. Yes, Unstoppable Guitar System Pro is the course you’re speaking of. 💪
I kinda learned "adjacent trick" differently...call it the "2 down, 2 right trick" or a version of octave hopping...goes to 2 down 3 right trick with the silly string like 5th fret tuning lol Thanks to "my sharona" for me learning funny lol Sometimes struggling thru unconventional learning methods helps better grasp basics, such as fretboard memorization, harmonics vs pentatonic, and unconventional chord voicings
I've found adding a lower octave to a basic triad, or even basic chord shape adds a haunting dark sound, and adding a higher octave in same manner sounds much more bright and refreshing... Acoustic, no electric trial&error
I wish I had been taught this 40 years ago when I started. Tab wasn't even around yet. 😅 All beginners should learn the notes and then learn these hacks.

Great lesson, very informative
Thanks! 😃
Ah the Sage strikes again with more nuggets of wisdom appreciated sir 🙏
More to come!🙏😀
Thanks, great tips and information! FYI:This information is not a hack. A hack is using something in a way that it's not designed for. 😊
Thanks for sharing!👍🙏
Very cool, thanks
Glad you liked it!🙏
Great video. My favorite part though is you didn’t bury the lede.
🙏
Perhaps add , checking tuning by octaves and harmonics for fine tuning balance ?
Great suggestion!
