Notes
Uncle Larry explains why you are basically fucked if you don’t instinctively and instantaneously know the notes on the neck …and talks about the “miracle at northwest stadium”

it has been well proven in the past on this channel that you guys simply do not give a FUCK about any type of old school country swing guitar, no matter how difficult, involved, or challenging it may be, but i am still doing it anyway... cuz i like it.

if i was going for likes and views i would just play tenths using only 6min, 4, 1, and 5 chords and sing "uh...uh...uh...." over it, because i know thats what you guys REALLY want

If you haven’t seen this yet, please do yourself a favor and watch this video friends

• I interviewed legendary guitar player...

Please understand, my interest in this video has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that he mentions a couple things about uncle Larry here and there…what I TRULY LOVE about this video is how it so clearly showcases what a beautiful person Dann is and always has been

so sweet , so genuinely humble..so supremely talented….such a special guy
