    Rudy, as small as my comment seems, i would like you to know that I am a great fan, your videos, sketches, everything you do, your unique creativity and randomness from time to time is honestly - can't find the right word, yes lack of vocabulary - amazing. I hope that you will keep it going, never give up, find motivation in what you do, there are a lot of people who love what you bring us. I love re-watching your arab dad sketches, horse, desert, cowboy songs (sad they don't get more views), and i also hope you are where you want (your youtube, your life in LA, your friends), i hope you will have the time and the resources to visit your home country Lebanon as often as you wish. Just much love brother.

    Hell yeah! Thank you so much for the guitar video this time!🖤 I really like how you explain things, and your practice tips - not too mathematical, relatable, I guess it's deliberate👍🖤 I'm guilty of repetitive guitar neglect periods, picked it up again several months ago (just for the soul). As you said somewhere before: "it's either you or the guitar". I think it's us both. So the most relatable things said here so far were "giving up" and "starting over"😔 Btw, such a proggy piece for your taste, I didn't expect it😄 Playing with closed eyes - NEAT😎 I saw some Herman Li's interview where he sad he turns off the lights in his bedroom, and practices standing in the dark. But to me personally, no amount of shredding will ever beat slow, emotive, melodic solos that unapologetically pierce your soul.

If I set my goal to 140 bpm I'll probably not get to that because I'll become mentally exhausted but if I go with the goal of 160bpm I'll hit 140... You're a level above me.

    Snagged your Fretboard Exploration course as well. Why not expand my understanding? I've been playing purely by ear for years and years - which I dig, and is important - but it'll be nice to really gain some level of understanding of what's going on that's not purely what I hear.

    The melody sounds simple and I maybe can sing it but I don't know the shapes, the notes on the fretboard and I don't have this level of technique so this is hard for me tio play on guitar or other instruments. Also the skill to remember and play complex and long melodies such as this is important but skill to compose melodies on the fly such as solos is equally important.
