Biography
I have loved music deeply for as long as I can remember. Once I saw Mike on YT, I realized I needed to do this because I wanted to hear a song and work out why it sounded good. Guitar seems like a great tool to gain some musical understanding.

One of the greatest bands of the last 25 years that puts out one brilliant concept album after the other. It’s rare to find bands with this level of mastery these days.

Been lucky enough to see them live a few times and their performances and live arrangements are second to none. Someone please enjoy.

Slides have definitely been in my practice, but less than bends (I'm sure I'll bend more when I get an electric). I'm demoing the techniques in these songs as I haven't been working much on my own lead lines or improv.

Just hit 150 days straight of my guitar practice so I wanted to post a video. I'm definitely waaaay better than when I started (even if yall can't tell!) but I get nervous every time I hit record and my fingers seize up!!!

Simple, haunting, sultry and nearly puts me in a trance. One of the best RX Y songs.

I mean.... not sure what needs to be said about this song. It's brilliant. Very interesting chords, but of course the star of the show is the vocals.

Trying to practice everything with a metronome now (I may switch to drum tracks) because staying on beat is such a struggle. I love this drill overall, as focusing on my weaker chord transitions is helping me with sticky patches for songs I'm trying to learn.

This lesson is so helpful Mike, realizing how the chords tell you which scale shape you're using. It's really helping me put things together and see my way around the fretboard. It's probably my favorite lesson so far. In my practice, I'm running through each note minor and major at both 2 and 4 pattern positions.

I've loved this band for most of my life now. They run the gamut from haunting and sparse, to metal, to peaceful cinema score, but this is probably my all-time favorite track.

I hope someone enjoys this!

I started at 80bpm a couple of months ago and I can go faster but I start losing technique so I plan to ease my way up in speed and try to get cleaner near the 12th fret (short pinky problems). Its awesome to see the progress.

It's one of the greatest funky trip-hop songs ever recorded.
