You remind me of a dude I work with! I am digging that guitar what kind is it? awesome skills bro im with you all the way!

@jason18241 Thanks, man. That guitar is made by Orpheum. It's a resonator. It has a very "tinny" sound but even more so since the camera I used has poor sound quality. It is a nice, little guitar to play blues on though. It has that down-home Mississippi crossroads feel to it. ;)

@dainbramage777 Thanks a lot! Funk is some of the most fun I've had on guitar. But boy does a good bass player really help!

@brimcg322 Thanks a lot. I was trying to balance being silly with a bit of instructional ideas as well. Glad you enjoyed it!

@HomeMadeWhiskey Thanks, dude. I play A7 a couple of different ways. The easiest is at the 2nd fret. It's basically just an A chord with the G note added on the high E string. The trickier way to play A7 is up at the 9th fret. Like this:

8 = middle finger

9 = pinky

7 = index finger

x = mute

9 = ring finger

Written out it looks like "C#/A7," which just means A7 with C# (the 3rd) in the bass. Hope this helps!

Hey dude, fun video. I want to smack the a7 in the face through, because it won't do what I want it. Wanna slide some tabs my way? :)

Thanks a lot! Appreciate the feedback. Hahhaahh. I'll have to take what you say into consideration next time. ;)
