    I've done a bunch of your lessons. You are the greatest because: Minimum of chatter and "what finger goes where" BS. You get into challenging songs that are totally classic. You break it down in digestable pieces. Thanks, man. I can play it and I have little elf hands.

Instead of playing 246 and reaching back for 2 on the G string, fretting 2 with my middle finger 4 with my pinkie skipping the D string and fretting 1 on the G string reaching back with my middle finger to for the 2 to be much easier.

    In order to play along with the album version I used ReaPitch plugin (free) in Reaper DAW and found increasing the shift in Cents by 46.58 to be close to the record in pitch and saves you having to retune your guitar. Im sure other pitch software/plugins can achieve this so I figured you could try with that number and play around. The original is in 452hz as far as I can tell so this will allow you in 440hz to play along nicely.

    One thing I love about guitar, it's a lot of fun to play and rock out with. Not to mention it helps make bass pretty easy to play as well. The things i hate in a way, It's a bitch to learn stuff if you don't know what you're doing (me when i started out), and it takes serious dedication to get really good. As Jimi Hendrix put it "Sometimes you want to give up the guitar, you'll hate the guitar. But if you stick with it, you're gonna be rewarded."
