      You're so wrong... He absolutely misses notes... There's a lot of them. So you can't tell if you're not really, really on point... Just an example, the second time he Starts the part that's you know the third measure. The beginning is supposed to be the same as the first but it isn't... He misses the timing on the deep.
      Open string triplet... I'm pretty sure he misses it on the one in between, but since it's not.
      Supposed to be the same It's hard to tell if that's a musical choice.. That's not the only one you're just mesmerized and it's great so I understand... That's why we learned to play.. And there are Entire genres of never playing the same thing twice... Sorry I just had to call it out. You're acting like you know he meant to play. But you know you're just enjoying the tune. it's not the same thing

I have loved guitar all my life and ran extra curricular (free) robotics and guitar clubs after school pretty well 5 days a week. I would be honoured to meet you one day. I can’t imagine the time it takes to put out your videos. Respect from Toronto. ❤

Play rythym off an on but I knew I was better than I’m playing. 20 years later I’ve never played the violin but I have an electric one coming never played a day in my life. It will be here tomorrow actually 😬 I know with all my heart when I watch these videos and listen to the songs I like and know. And I have no doubt I’ll be playing that in a week. Yes a week. Never played. I’m. You got to believe in yourself. Once you visualize it it becomes real in your brain and you just know, you just know. That’s the true secret to success. People got talent but they can’t visualize. You need to help manifest that shit into your reality I promise that’s the missing ingredient

    I don't like the genre but these riffs are perfect. It's just well constructed. Super easy to play but translates to be really difficult. Palm mutes and harmonics give it that spice. It sounds pretty technical or difficult but this is a pretty easy riff to play. In my opinion as a guitarist for over 20 years. These are the best kind of riffs. Very easy for any guitar player with experience but sounds like it's hard to play.
