    I'm from the US, and a huge country fan since I was a little boy and I LOVE how you play country. With that guy's logic, only Germans should play Beethoven and only Russians can play Tchaikovsky. Thank you for your lessons!

    We all have preferences but if you truly love art and the creative spirit, be open to everything. There is so much to learn and enjoy from all genres. I have had long-held prejudices regarding music but the more I learn, the more I appreciate. I am still a “beginner” but I am lucky to have been exposed to so much music that I was “too good for” (thanks in part to your channel Adrian). Country, punk, hip-hop, bluegrass, be-bop, shoe gaze, etc. etc. There is more to appreciate than one can ever fathom. Thanks for the variety and diversity Adrian. Long love art!

    Very tasty stuff, great video, thank you! I would argue that one of the greatest country players is a Brit, or at least one of the greatest country guitar Brit players is Mark Knopfler, with Albert Lee right there in the conversation. Lee played in Emmy Lou’s band, and Knopfler had a wonderful duet album and tour with her in 2007/2008.

So far this year I used your lessons to learn "Pretty Persuasion" on my 12-string electric and "Wichita Lineman" on my baritone (it takes me time to learn this stuff, what with work and all). Anyway, this tune will be for the New Year. I'm a Canadian though...maybe I shouldn't be playing stock country licks.

I would definitely buy the course from you as I am certain you are one of the most respected teachers on here, at least that's what I think!!!!

    • @chrismason4224
      @chrismason4224 6 місяців тому

      There's no confusion. Learn CAGED. Learn the minor pentatonic and know that the same pattern applies three frets towards the nut for the relative major. Memorize every note on the fretboard. Done. It's simple, not easy.

    Whoever the narrow-minded dweeb was who "unsubscribed" because you had the audacity to play country as a Brit is, unfortunately, just clueless about who plays what and that country of origin is pretty much irrelevant to the quality of the music played. Your fellow Brits Ray Flacke & Albert Lee are some of the hottest country guitarists around. Not too many people probably think of Estonia as a hotbed of country guitar, but former Sturgill Simpson guitarist Laur Jomets plays some pretty blazing country riffs! I'm glad you disregard the criticism and just do your thing.
