And the guitarist from The Arrow (the original band who did I love rock and roll) posted a comment.. it felt great.. made me think he's a real person too.. :)

Anyway, I'm waiting for Paul McCartney to comment on my Beatles video still...

Matonanjin, I don't work for Guitar Tricks, so if I get this wrong, hopefully an administrator will alter/delete my post... but I'm pretty sure riffriff is working within the parameters offered by GT's affiliate program. So essentially he's done a simple little lesson, and then if you click on the link for more lessons, you're redirected to the Guitar Tricks homepage. I think its a great marketing idea. Nothing wrong with it at all... think of it almost as an extension of the Guitar Tricks Channel... you get a free lesson, then if you click the link, you'll be offered to join Guitar Tricks, which of course you can also do for 14 days free trial.

Riffriff, the link works fine... I clicked it and ended up on the GT Homepage. Also, a suggestion for your lesson... play the whole thing first one or two times, just to show people "this is what you are going to play", then break down the explanation into different parts. I'd recommend after each part break down, you play through up to that point... as in "so this is what we have so far... da da, da da, bwoon, da da... ok, now lets add this next part..." and so forth. Other than that, nice job!

Hi Slippin', thanks for your suggestion.. that is a good idea but may require more time for me (which is a luxury i do not have), but will consider it.. editing it and putting all those images takes time as well.

.. and yeah, you are right, I am an affiliate of GT and referred a couple of folks here already. :)

GT is a great site and I am proud of promoting it.. i am using it myself.

Oh, don't worry about the one you did... just if you do one in the future. I did a bunch of tutorials on video editing, and that was a suggestion that was passed on to me... show what the end goal is first, then explain how to achieve it. After that suggestion, that's pretty much how I did all my future tutorials, but yeah, I hear ya, that editing takes time, so don't redo it, its fine the way it is.

Cheers!

It's like the good old briefing structure; "Tell 'em what you're gonna tell 'em, tell 'em what you've got to tell, then tell 'em what you told 'em."

:)

So riffriffdotcom it would sure appear I took your post wrong. My apologies.
