great lesson ... wish you used a guitar with dots on the fretboard ...

It's a challenge for me as well to watch this stuff - and I'm the one who played it! I like to think of it as a positive challenge, where the goal is now to think/hear the notes in a different as we can see the way we want to. In the end, I think that's a great route. You don't need eyes to play music. Keep rocking!

It just makes it unnecessarily more difficult/challenging, but that's just my opinion ... Great series, I've really learnt a lot, thank you.
