    Makes total sense. Great to hear you discuss your thought process in achieving the Flow State you're in while playing guitar. Your dynamic, melodic, articulate, and nuanced music is incredible. You're an exceptional singer and songwriter. You have the complete package of artistry and skill.
    I can hear your connection to the beauty of nature, and inspiration from places & personal experience in your songs. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world. You make it a better place. ❤I love what you do, so much!

    Not boring. Fascinating. I dont want to learn licks. I want to sound like me and to do that I need to learn how to think on the instrument. These insightful vids show a way to do that. This is music before ego. There is simply the music within, and the battle to get it out. Thanks Jedd.

    Mr Jedd, What you get out of those seemingly simple chords is really rich. And if someone is bored, well, maybe so, , but there are a bazillion other channels to choose from. We are here because you are a top-flight musician just honestly sharing your craft and a bit of that life. That seems pretty interesting to me.

    Boring? Jedd, as you gain more and more subscribers, you will (unfortunately) gain a few "sewers of doubt" or "dream crushers". They are deeply unhappy people (for whatever reason), and they choose to spread their misery to make themselves feel better about their own failed existence. Don't take their negativity to heart, and don't let it mess with your head. You're doing just fine.
    I don't consider your videos "low quality" or "low budget". Are your videos fancy? Nope! But I don't need fancy. You're an authentic dude, sharing stories about your experiences as a working musician and playing some sweet tunes for us to enjoy... All for free! Who could complain about that?! Just keep doing what you're doing.

    The acoustic guitar is such a humbling instrument for the guitar player. It's all you and what comes out of your hands is personal when you let yourself just explore and create stuff off the cuff. You my friend are a master of this ... peace out Jedd and my two cents on the acoustic search is you all ready have it, it's a worthy instrument of a player of your talent.

    Bored? Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc (after, therefore because of.) Sounds good, but is hardly ever the case.

    Your songs are so well thought out, and interesting, yet you don't rest on that, and that is awesome!

    I think everyone who watches these videos does so for the amazing playing and the ramblings. Definitely not boring and I do agree with some of the guys below, you should do a purely minimal instrumental album.
