I Like string buzz. That is intentional! I address dampening in a later chapter of the dvd, And i'll where my slide on what ever finger i please. You should make your own video.

its a little confusing, you never say that your in open d tuning, had to play a little with my guitar to find out, you should write it on top for those who dont have an ear.

@surrealisticlee Reminds me of Captain Beefheart!

@luckyhorsecinema just to set the record straight on this page:..... all of you should check out luckyhorsecinema he is actually fantastic. music is for sharing not comparing. enjoy!

@swampcandy yeah ok whatever, - maybe my comment was a little harsh. S'just this has got nothing to do with the way i aproach music making so i don't get it at all. For me a song is a spark, my ears are my teacher, and after that any technique comes about through necessity to express something i couldn't do before being the mother of invention - other than that i know sh*t about guitar playing / musical excellence in general, Sorry for any offence caused.

@luckyhorsecinema it's a lesson not a show. as the video progresses more advanced techniques are introduced. this is the first lesson out of many on the complete video. you'll have to let me check out your guitar lesson videos some time.... why i'll bet they are awesome just blazing right out of the gate i hope my tiny mind can comprehend you mind blowing chops!!!!

@SmilinTunes Definitely. He's in open D. That's why he says that one of the D chords is simply strumming the open strings. I just learned about open D tuning. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have had any idea of what he was talking about! Good point.
