This guy has the biggest hair (outside of Johnny Bravo) that I have ever seen.

But, if you want an enlightening, informative and surprisingly technical explaination of one of America’s classic iconic guitars, watch this VDO that I happend to find on YouTube. (Love that YouTube). You can learn practically anything there.

There it is – two of my favorites: Gibson and YouTube. (Not really crazy about the hair).

Dean calls them warm-ups, but they’re really great technique and speed-builder exercises too.

Have you ever complained because your picking hand just didn’t work right? Or you just couldn’t find the right pick? The .60 was too thick but the .50 was too flimsy and what you really needed was a .57 – but who makes that? And it’s just too hard to do string-skipping or alternate picking or flutter picking, or the sun was in your eyes, dog ate your homework… or… or… or…

Well, we’ve all run out of excuses. Watch this video. Then… get to work. Get the right tools, the right knowledge and practice, practice, PRATICE. The rest is JUST EXCUSES.

Nice job Marc!!!

DON’T LET LACK OF KNOWLEDGE BE YOUR FLIMSY EXCUSE…
