I remember this channel being made whenI was 13. I remember the huge hiatus on this channel. But I'm glad it's back to semi-regular uploads. Eric is the reason I started playing guitar and looking back on his old videos gives me the nostalgia and motivation I often lack nowadays.

[@octaaka4757]

bro's the only real reason that i also play guitar and own an ibanez 2day

[@saltyzonconsole4487]

While I do love watching people try and play songs note-for-note, adding your own style to this song is SICK!!!🔥🔥🔥
