yes, a lesson on Black Orpheus lesson would be great, perhaps in a drip feed form similar to your lesson on the Fisherman by Leo Kottke, who I happened to see live in Lexington, Kentucky two weeks ago. I did learn the Fisherman last Spring but have not uploaded a video for review as i've already bee...

Re: Playing in Dropped D

Very nicely done, as usual.

Two additional Drop D songs to add to your list are Fishermans Blues and Dear Prudence.

Re: On The Beat - Episode 638 - Weekly Guitar Video News Wrap Up January 7, 2022

I've been thinking about this "direction" question and have been struggling to answer it I just don't know enough about guitar playing and teaching in general to provide an intelligent suggestion.

Some are beyond my skill level, but I find myself watching them anyway just for the sheer enjoyment of it. I met him at one of your guitar c...

Anyway, thanks for putting it up. Can't wait to get to it after I've spent some time with The Fisherman. Both will be prolong...
