    16:51 that thumbnail bit spoke to me so hard lol! I've spent a lot more time over the last year trying to "perfect" my thumbnail and I despise the additional hours it adds to the production process.

    Congrats Sammy G. Love your stuff. I really liked how you recognize your privilege and what factors led to you having the opportunities you do. You still have made the most of them but they aren’t opportunities everyone has, and it’s refreshing to see someone who knows this and acknowledges it. Social programs to help those without these opportunities are so important.
    Love your content, and as an amateur guitar player I always learn a lot from you.
    PS I never got a plaque from RUclips when I hit 1M. What’s up with that?!?

    4:49 - I suppose I should have clarified that I was truly interested in working on a musical project with you...rather than "just for the tubez"...I write music for film and TV and am always on the lookout for interesting textures/players/collaborators etc. I've been doing it for a long time too. (almost as long as I've been on youtube!!! I've been youtubing since 2007 and professionally writing for film/tv since 2009) I've done music for NBC, CBS, ABC, MTV, AMC, HBO, Warner Bros, Paramount, Harley Davidson, Google and more. Anyway - thanks for answering my question even if the answer is a very polite "I'm not interested because you're too small". ;) All good. Peace and Love from Calgary, AB.

    Congratulations on 1 million. I've been following for years and wanted to say thank you for the content and your courses.
    There are tons of RUclips guitar courses out there and when you put yours on sale this past Christmas I pulled the trigger on the bundle. The amount of print out material was the best part of the course for me, having all this knowledge in an organized printed out format made it a lot easier to learn, over just watching RUclips or searching for good scale diagrams online.
    The rudiments and beyond the basics was super useful and singlehandely gave me a huge leap in my playing.
    I do wish the craft of soloing was more like the recent solo course you released but considering I got it as part of a bundle there was still tons of great information in there.
    Thanks again and congrats on 1 mil fellow Canadian!

    Fellow Canadian (Northern Ontario) here. I remember finding you on RUclips years ago. My first impression of you was that you clearly loved music. You were an honest 'real-deal.' I lost track of you over the years -- life, you know -- but recently happened across you again. I'd lost my spark over the years; going from 8 hour woodshed sessions to not touching my guitar for months on-end. You, Sir, don't appear to have ever lost yours, and that's become helpful to me in finding mine again. You keep kicking ass, ok? Thanks.
