    Every time I see one of Cory's vids it makes me reach for my guitar. This diminished lick adds that dimension to me, is a head turner. i am one who needs to add some spice to my licks. i have some of Cory's lessons from Truefire and I reckon their the best bang for yr buck.

    I have a tendency to get too crazy with trying to go outside so this was a great lesson in reigning that stuff in. I really like how you explained adding in rhythmic interest at the same time as bringing in diminished sounds. I hadn't thought of that before. Thanks.

    Really have to give you kudos for the production quality of your videos. The lighting, guitar tones, mix and the spoken parts are excellent. Could be a lesson in it self for folks doing this. I don't think I am alone when I say that I have become rather fickle....with all the content available I can be... lol. Its like the tale of A&R men who judge an artist or song in the first 2-3 seconds...the thought being if the production sucks so will the content/song/demo. Keep it up bro!
