      Hi Paul. Again: thanks for all your videos. In case you didn't know Carlos Vamos, here is a video. It's old and the competition is long gone. His playing is very melodic even though tapping, to me, usually comes off as a gimmick.

      No....no it is not. Feels sloppy and frustrating. It's not pleasant to play or listen to when you keep hitting unintended strings with the slap, or hitting the bass notes instead of muting when slapping. I don't want to give up though. John mastered this technique after hundreds of hours, so...

    Key: Just at the finish of the 2nd bar, you really have to get the Em7 shape there and ready. The tab doesn't show it (but Paul does), having that index finger placed on the D-string second fret, and already there for the 3rd beat of the third bar makes all of this doable. Took me several days to finger this out.

For now I'll stick to reading old sheet music and trying to understand music theory from your tutorials and some research of my own. Also, Comgrats on your milestone! I hope you read this and if not, It's alright with me. Keep playing whoever reads this!

He's now at 2.6 Million and has made me and many other people improve a lot our guitar playing, both through YT and his courses. Got my first acoustic yesterday, I'm going to take a stab at learning this today. Thanks for everything Paul.
    EDIT: after about a week I think I got it pretty much down, I only need to work on consistency and getting the tempo exactly right, but for now it's been an incredible journey. Not a bad song to have in my repertoire, especially as my first acoustic guitar song! Now on to truly master it and then learn how to sing along, which I think will take some years :)
