  • That's a baby Taylor guitar is it not?

    Those autographs. I recognize the Paul Simon signature. Let me know sensei if I'm right.

  • Close, but you have much to learn weed hopper. This is the yang of the yinyang of small guitars, also written about in the ancient texts as the 'Little Martin'. The scrawls of the ancients are in an unknown dialect and remain a mystery.

  • What can I say - I failed my homework. Could you give some pointer on the beginning/ending riff by your boy, Sketch? Sounds great!

  • You can now see how sketch plays it himself. Please search for peacejoytown blackbird.

  • Hi Goldhat. Thanks for your hi-res comments. >

  • Best right hand lesson x3

  • Is that a ukulele?

  • @twilightstardust5 Second and fifth strings, at the same time :)

  • Sir, I do not mean to alarm you but the top of your head is missing. This is causing me great distress...

  • ok he sounds exactly like the assistant greenskeeper from caddyshack!!!!!!!

  • kids, come on, we dont "squeeze", we pluck.

    he's talking about intervals when he's saying 2nd, 4th, etc, and if you dont know any music theory, these terms are over your head.

    if you cant figure this out by ear, you need to do a lot more playing before you attempt this. cheers

  • I dont know what you mean by second and fifth, etc. I'm trying to figure it out. Is it with just one note, or is squeezing two strings at a time? does second mean second string, or fret? Thanks.

  • nice, great job! I just did a beatles cover, tell me what you think of this?
