    Awesome! Boogie Woogie always sounds great on guitar, no matter if acoustic or electric. Almost a must in every guitarists repertoire.

      Not sure which pause you were referring to, on-screen tab viewer, video, or audio. Either way, I can’t replicate this which means it’s browser related. Try closing all browser tabs and restarting and see if that doesn’t solve the issue.

        Yes it must be browser related .. I use Firefox .. I did check for plugin updates and what extensions/add-ons might be needed .. noticed this issue last few days I noticed no pause on the lower scrollbars on youtube .the video (clicking mouse to pause doesn’t appear at times and the play icon won’t pause/stop at times) ,, I will try as you mentioned .. seems to be an intermittent issue .. I’ll try finding out what it might be if it continues.

    Hi Brian
    with your lessons I feel like a kid in a candy store , I don’t know which to learn first , they are all great pieces of music, never boring and you explain everything so well
    I so wish you were around 20 years ago . keep up the good work , I am sure there is already a place for you reserved up top ,you have put a smile on a lot of faces.
    wish you a happy new year.
    Joe

    Happy new year! Looking forward to more of your great online lessons in 2016 . Please include if possible some basic guitar jazz sessions. There are so many cool chord combinations and styles,,much of which seem so obscure but fascinating.
