    Thanks for putting these out Davvy…I’m been F ing around with franklins for a while but never tried to bite into Help and Slip before. I kind of saw them as out of my league as I’m still pretty much a noob. Your lessons made them really easy to wrap my head around and it’s been a lot of fun trying to master them. Thanks again for what you do and have a great holiday.

    You are correct, Davvy -- fun as that story is about Benjamin Franklin and the Liberty Bell, it's not true. Benjamin Franklin absolutely did a ridiculously high number of notable, interesting, and important things in his storied life, but alas, working on the Liberty Bell in any way was not one of them.
    PS -- meant to add: GREAT lesson, as always! You are such a skilled player and wonderful teacher. Rock on!

      He didn’t work on the liberty bell but he did come up with a dewing process which included “rolling away the dew”, that the makers of the liberty bell did not use they used an alternate way which may have been the reason the bell was not very structurally sound

    • @gristamshackleford2102
      @gristamshackleford2102 Před 10 měsíci +1

      a google search said he engineered bells but not the liberty bell. also the first verse is most likely about that

    Dude, these are all gold -- well not so much this one, lol, but all the other Play Dead. You da man. Could we request a short 2 minute video covering your course, to give more idea about what it covers and if appropriate for relative skill sets? That would be cool and probably help sell more courses. Thanks for all and merry xmas!

    He became estranged from his son due to their political differences during the American revolution.
