      Mr. Man you have no idea what you're talking about. A couple months ago I saw an Ibanez sitting on a rack at guitar center without a tag, picked it up, one of the best guitars I ever played.
      It was used for $299
      I bought it

Remember back in the day when camos meant something, like when you got that gold camo and people saw it in their killcams we JIZZED over how impressive it was to have them. That's what drove my love of games. Id rather have 1000 camos and no dlc weapons, here's hoping COD WW2 pulls through for us.

    It genuinely makes me happy to see Erik do what he does. He's become so successful in so much through his music, gaming, etc. He lives a life he wants to live and does what makes him happy, and it makes me happy to see him do that. I know it's weird but it actually just makes me smile when I look at his room/setup and see all the shit thrown about and realize that he's just livin' life doing what he wants. You can see the profound happiness on his face when he makes these kinds of music videos and it's just awesome that he can do so much with his life.
    Keep making videos Erik and NEVER stop playing guitar. A lot of us know it's a huge passion of yours and you're extremely talented. Thank you for all the smiles and good times :)

Thought you would think that is pretty cool M3rk knowing the value and all, nothing to dis you man.

    @m3rkmus1c a banjo is quite simple you probably won’t see this comment but use your index for the 4th string and your middle for the 5th and your thumb on the 1st (highest) string in that patter and that’s the simplest type of roll and just repeat 4,5,1 over and over again for a clean sound then with your guitar knowledge of how sound works you could probably pick out your own sound so gg
