Jimmy Bruno's first guitar lesson
CraigHensley
Maine New Barault, Mordeglia
I've been enjoying this video and can't imagine being a young person going into my first guitar lesson and expecting to learn this stuff. Seems doable at this stage. We like to focus on arpeggios, but this exercise using rest stroke seems helpful for developing technique, especially with all the double-downs, and for learning all 12 keys. I still favor certain keys and have blindspots in others. I like the way he refers to each position based on the scale degree starting point.

That video is hilarous, apart from the guitar-playing wisdom (and Jimmy's health issues)!
