Going through some basics, huh? Like, how to set up and position your portable fan? :checkthisout:
 
Well crap. I caught the very end of it. Talking guitar licks and tootsie rolls.
 
Ah damn... Was working from home today and forgot about it. :(
 
I watched the whole thing... it was definitely a cool experience. I wouldn't have minded some more technical stuff... but that's a minor quibble. I set my rig up and just played guitar for a while after the lesson ended, and I couldn't put the thing down! Perhaps Steve's words struck a chord with me, who knows?
 
I saw the whole thing...it wasnt crazy informative or anything I didnt know...but it was definitely inspiring. I would love to take a course from him. He also did poke fun at himself. "The most important thing about bending is your mouth movements." :D :lol: :LOL:
 
I caught the tail end of it where he was answering some really dumb and uninteresting questions, one of which queued Steve to lick his guitar. I like listening to that man talk, even though he's a friggin' psycho hippie sometimes.

Totally. I find that his voice has this nice calming effect on me... it's like being softly draped with quilts... :thumbsup:
 
Eh. It benefited someone. Just about every question could have been answered with either "Google it" or "I already explained that".

He did pretty well, but it infuriates me whenever he recommends not working on your weaknesses. I know he thinks it sounds deep, but it's literally the worst advice I've ever heard.

Regardless of all that, Steve was a huge influence on me during my formative years.
