      The drive to Hawaii is one of my favorites. Long, and a bit wet in places, but they've done great work on the tunnel project and it really makes it one of the most outstanding drives you can take in the US. There is a customs check point about half way through the tunnel but they just want to make sure your not transporting any Washington State apples or Idaho potatoes over to the islands. That's a big no-no.

I love the backdrops and backgrounds utilized; they not only help to create a mood, but everything taken all-together spark a desire in me to play better. I enjoy watching Justin's playing and fingerstyle. I always find so many new things just watching him play that I can incorporate into my own playing. I'm visual like that.

All those turnarounds are so interesting, same scales you play thousand times a day but all together is so juicy. You have to feel blues as every single type style of music. And Justin does it.
