    I took Emily's course on Guitar, and I can say as someone who never even touched a guitar before hand, I now am a master at: Tuning... what was the other one? Oh yeah Playing, and Impressing. I am practically swimming in potential romantic partners because of Emily's very epic, super poggers guitar course!

    "Where do you put the booba?" I feel this. Unironically one of the reasons I love offsets like the Jazzmaster is they give enough room for them. Funnily enough Fender had a video with an artist who used a red Jazzmaster and she discussed how it's uniquely boob-comfortable too 😆 I mean it is a real struggle 100%.

    I love watching you with that guitar. I saw this in another video. I am guessing that this was before you did the "secret live stream" a week or so before this. I know all the parts of the guitar now. The bloopersphere is the best part of guitar playing. It makes me feel entranced as if I'm going to outerspace in a giant bubble of sound. I feel like I am powerful and in a pink cloud of beautiful love! Those pedals sound great! I'm not much of a fan of pedals but these do what synthesizers have done for decades. Now anyone with a way to plug their instrument of choice in can blast off into sonic spectrums never before imagined!

    I would take your course. I’m not kidding. I had a guitar instructor back in the day. He was a great guitarist but I wish he would have literally not been aware of his skill; he got too cocky about it. He showed me how he thought the main riff to Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Cold Shot” was. But it just didn’t sound right. His knowledge of musical theory and technical ability came up with a logical riff. But I could instinctively tell that Stevie Ray was playing something different. So I looked at the DVD to an Austin City Limits concert. Sure enough, I was right.
    If you’re learning what you mentioned, I am so there. I’m not kidding; I’d like more information. I’m interested in those skills you mentioned.
    That’s a way cool guitar. And of course you chose some awesome effects pedals.
    I do notice that some ladies rest their boob in the waistline of the hourglass shape of the guitar. I notice of course because I’m a man and a great female guitarist makes her looks matter even more with the sounds she makes. You do look cool with that guitar and that shirt. You have a style all your own, harp or guitar - I’m here for it. You’re a down to earth lady and you and Russ have a great wholesome channel here. This channel is lighthearted, hilarious and the music is always beautiful.

    Honestly giving someone a guitar with a long feedback delay and letting them noodle is one of the nicest things you can do with the instrument. People just get in the zone experimenting and making cool and interesting sounds, without needing to know what they're doing at all. It's great
