Thank you for your contribution, I , just turned 70 and didn't think I would make it this far, I started playing when I was 16, and I've never stopped learning, I suffer from chronic pain, (the pain you can't see), not asking for pity, just saying if it wasn't for this community of guitarists. i.e, you, Tim Pierce, Mark Zebel, Paul David's, Brett Papa, and especially Brett Kingman, I probably would have done the wrong thing? Thank you one and all. Love Lachlan.

Geez, Rusty! That's profound. I'm only up to 2:02 but already what you've said has got me thinking about my own practice. When I started playing triads & double-stops instead of chords, it sounded better. And it freed up my other fingers to do other things, like mute, pull-ons/pull-offs, etc. Not to mention, the notes I do play just sound better, more defined. It also allows me to do a technique, I don't know how to describe it, but I can string the notes together more closely so that it's almost like following each note as it goes up or down, and each voice is moving differently, so it sounds more complicated and melodious. (I hope that last part makes sense. It would be easier to demonstrate, but obviously I can't do that in text, lol.) Now I'll go finish the video.

Gee whiz, I thought all you had to do was buy a better guitar! 🤣 Seriously I'm happy playing my father's old Harmony Meteor he bought used in about 1960. Been playing since about that time myself. Your lessons are so good and not complex like many others do. Makes it seem attainable. Being a technical sort of person I tend to get wrapped up more in theory and the mechanics. This type of stuff is much more enjoyable. Just wish something like this would have been available decades ago.

Thanks a lot my Guitar buddy! Keep rockin this weekend✌️

It's such a challenge to limit yourself to just a few notes, but it is such a good tip. I have been zeroing in on playing to the song and on understanding following the chord changes vs noodling on the pentatonic. Also trying to hear where I end a phrase rather than just playing randomly and landing on a root note somewhere with each resolution. Anyway, forcing focus on fewer notes and targeting playing to the song is a great strategy to help in this area. Would love content on finger placement, specifically things like when switching to index + ring finger vs index + pinky moving first position minor pentatonic down the fretboard. I always find myself still using my pinky when playing the e minor pentatonic in the first position at the 12th fret. I've seen other players use their index and ring finger exclusively when they're playing in that position. But I've also heard it's considered cheating. Would be awesome to see content around things like this. Good stuff!

Hah, this reminds me of the discussion we had on our last live stream together. I still need to cut both E strings and the A string on my rehearsal guitar. xD But I started to limit myself quite a bit ever since I've started to play with two other guitar players, there is just no other way around that. I think with solos, it's also way more powerful once you break out of the self imposed limitation after some time. Reminds me, how about another stream/hang sometime soon Rusty? Cheers, Martin
