    Your English is spot on, sir! Plus, you needn't apologise - it's much better than my other languages!
    Great lesson, I enjoyed the vibe. What I love most about African style guitar is that it's never always about the bass lines or chords as a whole. The melody on the higher strings accompanies the bass line so you've two singing lines so to speak - to have a lesson in detail makes a point of this. Enjoyed it a lot, thank you for your time! All the best to you.

    Thank you, Isaac. I teach music theory and songwriting and I loved this. The Congolese style you are playing makes tremendous use of diatonic (one key) melodic embellishments. It's beautiful and very open and free and relaxing. I dug it (and this is coming from a jazz sax player).
