I'm a 16 year old guitarist, and I have been playing on and off for about eight years, and I began to take my playing seriously at around the age of twelve. At the moment I mainly play funk, acoustic, rock, soul, ska (and world music in general!) both solo and in a three piece band which is hopefully just starting to take itself seriously...
Having just discovered the likes of Andy Mckee, Thomas Leeb, and Newton Faulkner, I recently got into experimenting on the acoutsic guitar, incorporating percussion into my playing i.e. 'fingerstyle', in which your left hand taps out chords and a melody using hammer-ons and pull-offs, whilst your right hand bangs out a rhythm- I really enjoy doing this and have composed three songs in this style, two of which are on this profile, the oher will be up soon!

My main influences at the moment are Jimi Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nuno Bettencourt, Jane's Addiction, John Butler Trio, Andy Mckee and Newton Faulkner
but the influences for my videos that most show are Newton Faulkner, Andy Mckee, Dave Navarro of Jane's addiction and John Fruciante of R.H.C.Ps-
Please watch my guitar vids and tell me what you think, I really like to know people's oppinions, good or bad....

more will videos will come!!

Nice work man,

glad you found the tutorials useful. I will be doing some more soon, just recording an album at the moment. If you haven't already heard of him check out thomas leeb.
Hawthorn made me think of "Sled Dog Racing" off his 'riddle' album think you would enjoy it. (really catchy track as well btw!)

hahahaha people won't waste their time watching or subscribing to videos of my rambling about a bunch of nothing. :-D Maybe if I can come up with a topic or something then I might consider it, but I really can't think of something that would be interesting enough for a YouTube vid
SomGirlDotCom (1 week ago)
Yes, that's because you have talent that can be broadcast on YouTube -- thus allowing you opportunity to receive more channel views. I have no videos of my own because I'm not really talented enough to post anything of substance. :-D

I've been receiving the same error when I've tried to leave comments for him as well. Maybe we made YouTube jealous. haha I've not been able to post anything after that "test" comment I left, and before that I wasn't able to leave him a comment for a few days prior. I'm sure he'll see these comments when he checks in though. In the meantime, you could send him an email through YouTube -- those still seem to be working.

I can't be an agent of change -- to teach tolerance and other similar ideals, if I don't practice them myself. Otherwise, I'd be no less of a hypocrite than some of the politicians and others who say one thing yet act differently. And I don't need to get into a verbal sparring match with someone who is obviously not at a similar skill level in order to feel as though I've made my point. You don't "win" by putting others down or making fun of them... instead, I just try to voice my opinion and say what I think in a more calm, cool, and collected manner -- and with respect -- and hope that I might make a difference... instead of an enemy.

He'll get bored with me soon, if he hasn't already, because he hasn't been able to get a rise out of me - if that's what he's going for. And he most likely won't get one either because he'd get blocked before my having to go to that extreme. I think the back-and-forth banter of cursing, etc. demonstrates an immaturity that I'm too old for - and not interested in. I'd rather just let him be - or block him - and go on about my life. Seems less of a hassle (and in similar cases less of an instigation) that way... :oD But, please do not misunderstand what I am saying; I am not defending him or his actions... just defending mine.

You misunderstood me; I wasn't defending him. I simply said I have no reason to judge/block him yet. You seem to have reason to because of things he said to you; most likely had he said those things to me, I would be ignoring him. I don't make a practice of defending hatred or racism or any other similar intolerance, and I thought it was good that you made the decision to not do so either. I'm simply saying that until he shows such disrespect to me or around me, then I don't feel as though that extreme of an action is warranted.
