'A jazz organ a day, keeps the doctor away'

Keep swinging,

@MrSzymkra

Every video he's ever made IS a tutorial, because you can see very clearly 100% of what he plays.

[MrSzymkra]

@rounder2u Ok, thanks.

Hi Mr Szymkra

Thanks!

I will not make a tutorial, but if you have any questions about what notes I'm playing at a certain moment, or the thinking behind a certain riff/phrase, just write a comment or a message, and I will try to answer.

In that case also, please, write the exact timestamp, e.g. 3:09-3:10. That example is a fast one note tremolo by alternating the middle finger and the thumb, starting with the middle finger. I call them machine gun tremolo :-)

Keep swinging,

Rounder
