    Man, I’ve been playing guitar for decades and never heard of you. What a breath of fresh air! Love the insults as they are correct. I’m guilty of playing the boxes and then my tricks, and repeating them. The sustained bend is just a way to dramatize what I’m about to do again. (This time, much faster and more impressive.) Yawn. I suppose some of us naturally know how to build tension and expectation, and know how to let the listener know it’s not at the breaking point yet. And I expect I’m not fooling anyone. But most times I do. It’s a bar, everyone is drunk and yes, cigarettes everywhere. So they’re easily impressed. I learned from you in just a few minutes what I hadn’t learned at all since the 70’s. Now it’s time to apply it before I keel over for whatever mysterious reason. For younger folks than I, you’re an honest Godsend my friend. You’re a phenomenal teacher. Keep up the great work. Just subscribed.
