      😂 yup, Bob Ross indeed!
      Ever make mistakes in live? Let’s make them riffs . Yeah, they’re riffs now.
      We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.

Hendrix and psychedelic style riffs and solos without using chords is just what i need, please keep making these type of lessons. Subscribed.
