    Hi all, thanks for the tips about mounting the guitar mount in a stud, BUT:
    In Holland we usually do not have studs & dry wall, but concrete or brick. This particular wall is at least 20cm thick! Cheers!

      Paul Davids Don’t put your guitar on the wall , put it on a typical well made guitar stand , or in the case with proper humidity. 47% . I do this and have a digital humidity gauge in my 2 cases . I have a Eric Clapton Stratocaster. And a new Ovation with Tiger Eye Maple 🍁 I sold my Marshall stack and bought a new Fender Deluxe Reverb 1975 Retro amp

      I take a 1 by 6 piece of wood which is thin but strong I screw that to the wall on to the studs then I am able to mount my guitar anyway I need to with the wall hanger I wish I could send a picture to you and I would show you I have 14 guitars on one piece of wood

      @@kermitsbench7057 ...if you get it deep enough to get into the wall itself, that is. I think that's the mistake Mr. Davids made: the anchor he used is only long enough to get through the plaster coating, but doesn't reach very far (at all?) into the wall itself.
      Here in the 'States, we have long "blue screws" that are specially coated and hardened for drilling directly into concrete walls, and they always look unnecessarily-long to me. This is why.

    It’s fantastic how accessible you make seemingly complicated licks. You’re not painstakingly slow in how you break it down, nor are you breathtakingly fast. You teach at just the right speed, granting the masses access to the collective treasure trove of tasty licks. Sir, you’re doing the Guitar Lord’s work.

    I've taken a lesson in person with Josh Smith and he is an encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to music and guitar. I feel like I couldn't write all my notes fast enough. He opened me up to a whole new world of looking at guitar and music in general.

    Love the elements in this piece. In the third lick(phrase), it finishes with the 8 to 6 on the B, then reflects the pattern in chord form by going from an Eb to the slide-in Bb is a wonderfully creative example of the technique, call and response. There are so many of those little nuanced devices hiding in this piece that it is a listening treasure hunt for the ears.

    From one Paul to another: thank you! It's CZcamsrs like you that enabled me to finally mail down guitar as a hobby of mine that I've been wanting for so long. A few years ago I started and only wanted to be able to lazily strum some things as a way of soothing myself when I'm lacking other creative outlets, but was so delighted as I continued to progress into what we might call intermediate? Anyway, these videos give me something to work on without pressure, connecting me back to my soul and feelings and sense of accomplishment in some of the darkest times of my life. Thanks ❤❤❤

Enough for me to know what to pick out if I want to improvise in that style across a similar progression. More please!
