#AGP" - Go the Aussies"
Not sure if anyone here is interested in learning from Song Lesson/Instructional Videos etc.,(I know I am!), and if so! there’s an Australian guy on Utube by the name of David, who’s site is called “DSS Guitars”, he covers different styles, Trad Blues & Rock etc., it is all done on 3 & 4 String “Fretless Builds”, and teaches them in a way that is easy for a lot of us who are "Musically Challenged", to understand and learn from, and without a lot of the Mystical Music Jargon and Waffling Comments that some other CBG Teachers use!, I’m sure he would appreciate some Viewing and Subscribers from anywhere in the world, if it sounds like I’m unashamedly promoting some Fair Dinkum Aussie’s, then it’s true, because I am!.
There’s also a fairly new Song Lesson Utuber, who definitely sounds like an Aussie, and goes under the site name of “The Cigar Box Guy”, he too has all the same attributes as David of “DSS Guitars”, and also another very well known Aussie “Nigel McTrustry.

Dave its a Pleasure for me to try and spread any relative info on the CBG world we live in, I use these "FREE" online lessons as the base to almost all the music I attempt o play, after adapting them to my "Slidey Type Style" of course!, currently working on one of Dave at DSS Guitars Lessons at the moment. :-)
