Thanks John, I really appreciate that comment.  The lessons are fairly popular, people have been asking me for them on youtube.  I don't know much theory, it's all just learned by ear so I don't pretend my way is always the right way but nobody has complained so far :D

Clarky, maybe you would have done well as a teacher.  That sounds good.  I checked out the Black Keys and that song.

Another Fine 4 String Lesson Clarky, I struggle a bit with the 4 Stringers and Finger Fretting, mainly through impatience and lack of effort at practicing, but this one seems to be a good one to fix the afford said problems, Well Done as Always!,  :-)

Thanks Andries!  I'm legless too haha.  Yeah this guitar has screws for fret markers so not the best.
