      Thank you :)
      I hope not to be annoying but I wanted share a thought with you. I watched your Marc Ribot lessons and tutorials. For me Ribot has been a recent discovery. I guess in my town in Italy nobody knows about him. I am so impressed by his playing style, because almost everyone in Italy tends to look only for the most precise and skillfully clean guitar players (van halen, steve vai, slash, satriani, santana, brian may and so on...). Maybe not all of my examples are fine but, I mean, nobody of them is quite as much raw and dirty and, at the same time, romantic and full of emotion like Ribot is. I know maybe it's not a fair comparison but to me Ribot is really something else.
      When I thought I had to be precise in order to be a good guitarist, Ribot's music told me that It's ok to be raw, and every nuance of every kind of sound that a guitar can produce, even unwillingly, can add value to the music. All this is just to say thank you for your videos, and for allowing me to learn more about Marc Ribot through your contents.

    A year has passed but there's something about this video that kept me intrigued and rewatching. While I am appreciative of the music theory series that started around the same time, there hasn't been a video uploaded in the past year that captures the essence of what I looked for in my guitar playing. Might've been the excellent intro that in my opinion, hasn't been topped thus far or it's just me, being in a guitar playing slump this past year.

    Great, I like it all: song, sound, tone, explanations, special mood, side walks (e.g. Em9 Pink Floyd). Had a lot of fun watching you having fun. One of the best places to go: Erics living room where he teaches new stuff arranged so well in his own style, because ...he can. So inspiring, thank you. And a record is coming, wow... keep us informed. Bluesy greetings from snowy Hannover, Germany.

      The new record is shaping up to be a vibey mix of Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Tom Petty, Neil Young, and Van Morrison. All layered over with Fleetwood Mac vocal stacks. I'm about halfway done now - we'll see how weird it gets a it develops!

      It's slow going, because I'm meticulous and have to fit in sessions between teaching and UA-cam creating. But it's shaping up to be an interesting mix of classic 70s songwriting (Neil Young, Tom Petty, Lou Reed) all layered up with Haugen jangly guitars and slidey bits. As each song develops I just let them get weirder and weirder :-)
