    I grew up in the seventies and eighties listening to the Dead. Every time I watch your videos, I feel like I'm back hanging out, partying and Jamming with my old friends again. Great vibes, Peace!

    "Play in B mixo" doesn't make much sense, your solo sounds in key though...I usually just start in Bb penatonic and feel my way around but it's a tricky progression.

    I appreciate you and you are a gifted teacher, but I have to throw a penalty flag on your supposition that these "strange" chord changes are purely drug induced. From the perspective of someone who understands ther rudiments music theory (as I'm sure you will agree) these changes are inventive, but not "out of the sphere". They fit, and they obviously make sense. This progression has to be defined as new, and unique. It's definitely weird, but by definition the obviously found some new ground.
    That said, your brilliant interpretive breakdown is spot-on and super helpful. Thanks for the good work ! Keep on keepin on. You are obviously talented and doing great work. Much appreciated !
