    The fact that you have no overtly ambitious attitude and are willing to explain your creative nature makes you one of the greatest musicians alive. I mean that. Your willingness to explain your methods, to break things down so that someone even like me can play this riff. After just a few days of practice i have half of this riff down already and NEVER in a million years did i expect to be able to learn this. I would not have been able to otherwise. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Teaching is the greatest tool we have to offer.

    Just a heads up, the fluttering frame rate on your video is due to the shutter frame rate not matching the frequency of the lights. Can take a little time to sync them (basically look at screen while changing frame rate slowly until the issue disappears) but it will get rid of those random dark bars in the video. Cheers!

      I think most cameras have an option called "anti-banding" for that, where they try to auto-sync up with your light's frequency, but who knows. I was surprised to see the slowly shifting black/white bars at first, but it's not that troublesome.

    At 6:25 Tim says to hammer on the 9th fret of the A string, but it's actually the 7th fret of the A string.
    And at 6:17 it sounds like he says to hybrid pick the open E but you actually have to hybrid pick the open B string.
    Still the best tutorial for G.O.A.T out there. I'm on and off learning this Song for 2 years now and this video helps alot.
