I love your point of view: there's so much good new music out there from people who never would've had the chance to be heard had they been born a few decades earlier! Every era has a ton of crap that gets popular, but with enough time, all you'll remember are the gems.

Bro, not just the talent, but for those of us mere mortals, the ability to review, have songs like this be analyzed and shared, so we may be instructed, and spread the joy. I remember playing in bar bands years ago, and recording a song to be learned about 5 times back-to-back on cassettes, then playing it over and over till I'd gotten it down. Lyrics? Well, you did your best. Now it's ALL out there. Incredible!!

If one has been around long enough and have played songs like Landslide etc it can be played. As I am listening, you understand secondary doms ETC. This is a great example of why the guitar is such a great instrument.

Thanks so much for being so encouraging and taking the time to break down Billie’s flat picking techniques. I recently came across your excellent description of what I wish I could do, I only wish I had worked harder when I started at 9. Had I done that, I know I wouldn’t be having to invest so much more time practicing. It was my good fortune to come across Billie this weekend also. I was astonished by his musical background, not so much learning from his step-dad, but playing Bluegrass, Folk and Country. So proud of his Grammy Award just last month at 28. Thanks Michael for your efforts and building a KZfaq channel worth watching.

I really appreciate focus on the harmony. I feel like Dylan's musicianship is often unappreciated because of his lyric writing, but he knew exactly how to put chords together to tell a huge part of the story that lyrics themselves can't convey. Thanks so much for covering both fingerstyle and Dylan.
