      @@doktermobiel I'm pretty sure that the actor playing as Johnny actually does know karate, but as far as I'm concerned, it could be wrong... However, I was told so and had no reason to doubt it since as you can see in Cobra Kai, the guy gets a whole lot more fighting scenes in general...

      We need a netflix show about present day Steve Vai who never got over his humiliating loss and becomes a washed up drunk. He sees a kid being bullied by his gf's bf and decides to step up and become his guitar sensei. He teaches the kid to shred and finally developes a fatherly bond until Ralph Macchio comes up and opens his own guitar dojo. Eventually they are forced to team up when the devil returns and steals all of Steve's students.
      The show should be called Cobra Vai. Write that shit down.

    • @zvonimirtosic6171
      @zvonimirtosic6171 2 місяці тому

      The OP did not explain that two guitars were differently TUNED. Clue 1: playing with slide requires a different tuning altogether. Clue 2: Butler's inability to play last parts means his guitar was wrongly tuned for the piece, but he played by the ear and fumbled over his own ignorance. THAT was the catch; Butler was capable ear player, but uneducated, which the boy recognised & took advantage of. None of this is addressed.
