      You're so wrong... He absolutely misses notes... There's a lot of them. So you can't tell if you're not really, really on point... Just an example, the second time he Starts the part that's you know the third measure. The beginning is supposed to be the same as the first but it isn't... He misses the timing on the deep.
      Open string triplet... I'm pretty sure he misses it on the one in between, but since it's not.
      Supposed to be the same It's hard to tell if that's a musical choice.. That's not the only one you're just mesmerized and it's great so I understand... That's why we learned to play.. And there are Entire genres of never playing the same thing twice... Sorry I just had to call it out. You're acting like you know he meant to play. But you know you're just enjoying the tune. it's not the same thing

      He needs to work on his intonation.....perhaps that means dressing the frets, adjusting the bridge or nut....or even adjusting the length of his guitar strap, and posture......It was definitely good, and sounds cool, but it like sooo much other stuff out their was a bit sloppy.....

      I had no clue I had talent till I picked up an acoustic guitar. Play rythym off an on but I knew I was better than I’m playing. 20 years later I’ve never played the violin but I have an electric one coming never played a day in my life. It will be here tomorrow actually 😬 I know with all my heart when I watch these videos and listen to the songs I like and know. And I have no doubt I’ll be playing that in a week. Yes a week. Never played. I’m. You got to believe in yourself. Once you visualize it it becomes real in your brain and you just know, you just know. That’s the true secret to success. People got talent but they can’t visualize. You need to help manifest that shit into your reality I promise that’s the missing ingredient

ANYWAY I remember him playin FAMILY TRADITION and when he'd say "why do ya drank", TA GIT DRUNK,
    "Why do u roll smoke" TA GIT STONED.....me n my boys loved it man and I remember thinkin man I bet them guards don't like him saying that to get drunk n stoned shit, cause bro, THE ROOF CAME OFF THE PLACE when he started doin that shit n puttin the mic out to all us murderers, robbers, theives, and drug addicts, to say, TA GIT DRUNK N STONED back into the mic.... yo the Jail was TURNED THE FUCK UP THAT NIGHT! But that's how I found out about Ben GallaHER, yo I still have the slip of paper that was my call out pass, to go to the concert that night with my cell # inmate number, name, etc. Damn! Crazy man!
