Is he drunk or what?

Richard has been my teacher for several months now and has taken me from being another mere"guitar player" to becoming a musician.

You mock what you don't understand.

Welcum to da secund edition of da alchemical guitarast column, now wher da fucks my whiskey!!!!!???$%^&*

[COOLBIAN57]

I kind of get his overall theory here but he's very bad at explaining it. Basically what he trying to say if that there are certain patterns and that "once you get going" on a pattern it's easy to know which notes come next... but he does horrible at explaining this.

Never start a student on the nut.....got it.

[DangerJudy]

[Disburden]

cant find the column typed out anywhere, that sucks!!!! very intellectual pattern recongition but the column would help visual learners.

Man this is probably the most important thing I have ever learned on guitar playing. I have usually learned riffs and this transformed my playing in a very profound way.

thanks. love Television. Love your sound. How did you get that great tone on Call Mr. Lee? thanks again.

@ANIM0SI7Y - the text would help actually. he keeps referring to it. by the time u see it online or on demand it's off shelves and u have to order from the guitar world shop :(. Thing is you want/need the column to follow. I'm convinced that with a lot of these lessons, if you can just follow along w/o the column there's a great chance you don't actually need said lessons.

@punky246810 - the problem as I see it is that they print tabs which are useless if you can actually follow any of the videos. By the time you can follow the videos you can find so many songs by ear. It would make so much more sense for them to print lessons to get people up to the level of the videos...but I guess more people just want tabs than want any kind of theory lessons in print.
