Paul I don’t believe you could have chosen a better person for your blog. Steve is a class guy and a phenomenal guitarist. He has been a massive inspiration to me. Kudos!

[@BogStreet]

Really appreciate that and I totally agree.

[@jdgtrist5840]

Thia is really cool Paul. Congratulations on this new video series.

[@BogStreet]

Thank you so much brother!

[@AdamManley7]

Love this new series going to be fun to tune in to, also please add some more gauges to the string lineup would want some heavier and hybrid sets 🎸

Steve's point at 24:30 is so insightful. I'm one of those guys who doesn't have 10 hours per day to play, nor do I have 10 hours per day to study and analyze songs. I use a different site exactly for this purpose, to have lessons that are broken down into specific techniques and parts so that I can add one new thing to my playing, and then take that and make real world application with what I do. I've subscribed to the Guitar Zoom channels and will check out the course. Good interview. Cheers.

[@BogStreet]

Thanks for taking the time to listen and respond! Great feedback!

[@AdamManley7]

Also I notice you guys have the volume on the video about 2.4 dB lower than you can get it if you need some help send over the video and I’ll send it back at correct volume, you’re already running 1080p so it won’t affect it visual wise

[@BogStreet]

Yeah the audio is all over the map quality wise. Appreciate the offer to help.

[@AdamManley7]

@@BogStreet yeah not much I can do on compression if you need that I can just set the overall volume of the thing close to RUclips’s compression limit before they actually start cutting your volume, tell me if you guys need any assist 🤠
