There is only so much that self-study can accomplish. That is why people take lessons: way better results and progress, much more complete information, exposed to way more creative ideas than you can get from a blog or YouTube video. These free lessons are cool, but you will never experience the progress, joy, and results that my students experience in lessons when you’re learning by yourself from blogs and videos.

It’s combining a 5th interval (Bb and F) intertwined with an open string major 6th interval (G and E) It’s really cool that you can very clearly see how he plays these 4 notes and why this 4-note motif sounds so epic and magical.
