    Im going to attenpt to focus all my energy into learning this. This is so bad ass. Is this in standard tuning by chance? Also, you definitely have me questioning as to why all my guitars are 8 strings. This style is definitely more up my ally. Meanwhile. I find myself using the bass strings very rarely. Lol

    @@TheProgSchool Thank you. Literally just after learning a few measures. It opens up a huge window of other riffs for me. I appreciate you so much. You've been making the fretboard so much more clear for me. I also listened to about half your songs after I was done playing last night. For the first time. I must say, you're so under rated. It's been an amazing listen so far. Some bands it reminded me of were Between the buried and me, Plini, and The Faceless. (Their 4th album). Very jazzy stuff. I enjoyed every second of it. I really hope you blow up, you really deserve it. I admire the passion you put into your music and your videos. I have nothing but respect.

    I'll comment one more time then i'm done with the comments for now. Lol. I've literally never came across someone that goes into depth about this style of music. I've played guitar for about 9 years now. I literally can't do anything other then soloy sweeps and melodic, beautiful sounding cords. I feel it's just the best way to express emotion and your soul. This is an actual promise. I'm dedicating to your videos, specifically. I'm super super grateful I discovered you. Words can't express it.

    @@TheProgSchool I'll definitely have to check it out. Thank you! So far, I've been forcing myself to learn stuff from your videos on the daily since I've discovered you. Already, I can feel and hear a massive improvement. So, what I like to do is I'll learn maybe a couple measures at a time. Then, I can take that. Expand it into cords, sweeps and all sorts of other stuff. You're really helping me get my note coordination down and develop my own style, through what you teach. I really appreciate it a lot. What you do is complex enough to keep my mind interested. I've never been able to actually force myself to learn anything because when it comes down to it. It feels like a lot of stuff is too simple. Not saying I could play the 'simple' stuff by any means. Because there's still a form of complexity to it in other ways. But, I could never force myself to actually learn it. Your stuff is engaging in all the right aspects for me personally. I don't even think I'll ever be able to even sound like you, if I learned something through and through to its full extent. I think that's the beauty in each individual. You'll be playing the same exact notes. Yet, there's always that hint of uniqueness to it, based off who's playing it. Music is super cool.
