    I'm kinda blown away that you're giving this away and not asking for anything in return. I just learned more in about 5 mins. than I have in a long time. Thank you for your time and generosity. It's also cool to see how much depth is behind your playing; that's good to know for anyone who plays guitar because we're all still learning. Peace.

    As a kid, I took guitar lessons from an accordion player. Those early music books had a lot of bass runs included in the “Old Suzanna” kind of songs. I didn’t really take to it at the time. Looking back, I did myself a great disservice. Once you hear them, you hear the snare. Then you hear the chords and melody line. Finally, the licks. By salivating over the flashy licks, I stunted my progress by years. At this old age, I’m obsessed by the connective tissues. So much so that I now listen to accordion players and watch their left (bass) hand. Life has a way of coming around full circle. Those bass hooks are magical. Thanks for a wonderful lesson Kirk.

    This video just highlights the need to know theory. It makes riff writing and song writing so much easier when you know what will fit in any given situation. When I started playing 30 years ago, I had no idea what keys were or what chords fit where. It was pretty embarrassing when other guitarists would call out a key and I'd have to have them tell me what chords to play. I took lessons and theory really opened up the fret board for me.
