    "you're probably not that stupid".
    Brandon just gave us a backhanded compliment.
    But I know the REAL brandon would never do that.
    This is a video by big cigarettes made in order to get you comfortable.

    I was always mildly interested in your shorts when they happened to appear in my recommended, but since I despise short-form content I mostly stayed away.

    Really appreciate you taking the time to tab out all your examples in these long form videos. It is incredibly helpful to hear the line, see you fingers, and be able to read along in tab. It helps solidify the shapes and I can learn even if I'm not holding my guitar.

  • @Woodstock271
    @Woodstock271 Před 14 dny

    Man, I’ve been playing guitar for decades and never heard of you. What a breath of fresh air! Love the insults as they are correct.
    I’m guilty of playing the boxes and then my tricks, and repeating them. The sustained bend is just a way to dramatize what I’m about to do again. (This time, much faster and more impressive.) Yawn.
    I suppose some of us naturally know how to build tension and expectation, and know how to let the listener know it’s not at the breaking point yet. And I expect I’m not fooling anyone. But most times I do. It’s a bar, everyone is drunk and yes, cigarettes everywhere. So they’re easily impressed.
    I learned from you in just a few minutes what I hadn’t learned at all since the 70’s. Now it’s time to apply it before I keel over for whatever mysterious reason. For younger folks than I, you’re an honest Godsend my friend. You’re a phenomenal teacher. Keep up the great work.
