    As a person who struggles with theory and playing you break it down where it’s super digestible and helpful for people just wanting to play a tune they love!

    'sup Davvy! Another really good lesson. One small issue...I hate to nitpick, but the chorus initially walks down to D (on "down") similarly to the end of the song. Then it resolve to Am. Love that final chord (couldn't figure it out myself). My life is now a little richer for it. -Cheers

You could absolutely be a worse guitarist than Lil Wayne and still have me subscribed to you simply because I kinda like the way you talk.... Proceed.
