As I'm getting to the end of this series, I find that the 1st two lessons are starting to sink in better. Even though I learned the details, it takes a while for me to just play some grips without having to think about it previously. Strangely enough, I find that my single note soloing has improved with these lessons, more than anything else. This is because I'm starting to see these grips from the lead note perspective, which is really useful.

This is so great to hear! Keep rockin' it!

Really helpful mini-series and simply explained. If only I had sufficient practice time to get it deeply embedded. Look forward to more in the series. David (England)
