  • thanks! It's a very nice looking guitar I bet it sounds sweet? Nice solid body and a fine looking neck, just drooling at it now on an online shop!

  • You are one amazing inspiring woman. And you make everything so much easier to learn. Thank you.

  • thanks pukeythief!

  • Great tuition as always. Not much use to me unfortunately as I can only play gallagher/weller/ashcroft stuff in first position or with a few basic barrs.

    Maybe one day though. =)

  • nowt wrong with a bit of that! Their great songs to play on guitar and sing too. By the way thanks :-)

  • Thanks I had taught myself the scales a few years back then hadn't done it for awhile then last night I thought to give it a try again & couldn't remember how to do it & luckily I came across your video. This gave my memory the needed boost to make sense of the confusion the scales were once again driving crazy.

  • Great video.
