and as a bit of a goofy aside,
I just wanted to repeat, as I will occasionally, thank you so much for your free lessons.
They have been improving my life greatly, not just in the area of guitar.
After listening to the vids over the past three or four months or so,
I'm slowly starting to feel it feed into other areas of my life.
The people around me are not conducive to improving, getting better at things, developing and growing,
and it's great to have your words and demonstrations and inspiration and your outlook to keep me focused and attentive.
Given another few months, when I have done work that is worth uploading, after "enough" practice,
I will show you my improvements in guitar.
I hope you are still doing this by then, but it doesn't matter.
I'll always remember your words, sensai! (:
