    Thank you so much, Mr Isaac. Have been following you for two years now and I have learnt so much from you. You are the best teacher I have ever met on CZcams when it comes to African lead and rythymic guitar. Just some few lessons have missed due to the language you use sometimes. God bless you!

    I traveled through Central Africa some 30 years ago. From Douala to Kisangani I remember the beat of this music. It was a very powerful and exciting sound. I do a Travis type picking with a plect. This seem somewhat similar but a more exciting sound. Good luck with the project.

      I finally start to hear what I (as a plain vanilla white European 🤣) like so much in seben. This will be my basis to find more efficient voicings and then finally start improvising...something which eluded me for so long!!
      Thank you so much! Just seeing you do it on an acoustic guitar was what clicked with me!
