    G/day Brian,
    This is a great tune to grasp the finger picking way.
    Making good progress already.

    That really is fabulous and straight forward. After some time on Active Melody I’d just like to say how much I appreciate your teaching style, both visuals and words. Calm, complete, and informative, with just the right amount of constructive repetition both within individual lessons and across lessons. Great job Brian.

    Brian: Why do you choose to use the G# instead of the G for the walk-up/down? It seems that it can be player’s choice, so I am just curious as to your thoughts. Thanks.

    Great stuff, Brian. I know you have a few lessons on this style. But it would be really cool to see one developed that added more of some of those things you do beginning at about 5:30 into video two. Cool stuff. I’m really appreciating your lessons. Thanks for the great lessons!
