when you can't go to Boston Conservatory at Berklee so someone who went there helps you out

[@flashen]

That's really helpful! I've got the Sense of Lust solo, i like that aswell. Thank you!! Also i hope you'll continue to upload these type of videos.

[@nanthilrodriguez]

Excellent. Thank you!!!

[@RafaelSEstrela]

YOU ARE AN AMAZING GUITARIST!!!!!!!

[@christophernealey7395]

Thank you for these videos. I got the guitar tabs and tshirt. Iconic is awesome like all the songs. I like the solo in Sense of Lust. I'm not a very good player so just trying to do bits slowly at time is like a workout. Lol. Cheers from Alaska.

Rafael, My question (hopefully for a future video)
How do you decide what chords, extensions, and inversions? That part has always eluded me. Your music takes you on a long journey starting in one place and ending somewhere else, and yet so much guitar music repeats and repeats the chords.
So how do you sculpt or design or jam a longer chord progression that feels like it's moving somewhere sensible, without sounding random or forced?

Thanks for doing this! Iconic is amazing and it's on heavy rotation since it came out. Some day I'll attempt some of these licks haha
