As a Lefty Upside Down player, this has some advantages but even for "rightys" it is not always clear what notes are being hit. I much prefer a 45% angle out from the base of the neck, looking up the neck towards the tuning keys. Oh, and as a a LUD, I find 'neck to left" videos and instructional books to be a nightmare.
Why are you the only (as far as I know) guitar teacher (Certified) who tilts the neck to camera in such a way, as to make it EASIER to follow. I have always wondered about this. It just makes perfect sense to do it this way & not the 'face on' scenario. So logical. Thanks!
@OutbackAL I'll be honest, I don't know either. Baffles me as to how anyone can think a straight on shot is better. Maybe this angle gives people vertigo :-)
@OutbackAL although left handed players like myself get used to having to do twice as much effort, this different angle does give problems comprehension wise. Good thing his teaching is so good.
@esdenaze Keep in mind that as with any video lessons, not just mine, if you can download them (using Keepvid or through the podcast), if you open them in the VLC player, you can actually flip the video sideways to make it look lefthanded.
i'm a beginner player looking to make any sense of the fret board as possible...
i find it far more difficult than i ever imagined, that and strumming, like there's anything else ;-))) lol finger picking, so on an so forth...
"Box 1"?? i've never heard of this, it sounds like it could be a help, can you explain or tell me any specific video lesson of yours i should look at?
love the pov, seems so obvious ONLY when you've seen it (been shown it)...
Every time I land on one of these videos, the first thing I say to myself is: ah, I already know that lick. But when I break it down step by step, as I turns out I DON'T!!! Thanks for all your time and efforts Anthony. You're videos always have good info in them!!
Hey Anthony, don't worry about mass-producing videos. Quality matters, not quantity, right? Besides, you were working on other stuff as you said and that's all good. I personally would like to see and hear your views on B.B. King's style. I love his stuff and would like to see more of how he does things.
Only one possible critique for this killer lesson: it starts in box 2 and moves to box 1.

@strasale That is the Avid Eleven Rack believe it or not, Super Reverb setting through 1x15 speaker cabinet model, and a bit of compression and EQ.
