Final Thoughts

Considering the global nature of this outstanding community, I've tried to speak as slowly and clearly as possible.
I hope that doesnt put a lot of people to sleep laugh.gif
I have bluntly disclosed my bad playing habits along the way, so those starting out new can keep an eye out for them.

This was an excellent learning curve for me and I learned a lot along the way.
I respect the instructors more now since I have experienced what goes on behind the scenes in making a lesson.
I just wanted to show that you dont have to be at an advanced level to teach and share information with others.
The more you share, the more you learn. It's that simple. And the more you share unconditionally, the better person you become.

Please let me know if you find any of the info in this lesson incorrect, so I can correct it immediately.

Please also give me feedback on my teaching style and how to improve it further as this is my first attempt at this smile.gif

MANY Thanks to Pedja Simovic, Oystein Sollesnes, Daniel Realpe, Ramiro Delforte, Ben, Jafo, Chris Evans who have all been more than helpful and supported me in this little project of mine by answering all my queries and doubts. And a big shout out to the CHATROOM GANG !! biggrin.gif

Dont hesitate to message me either here or on youtube if you need any help.

AND PLEASE POST YOUR TAKES !! All this effort will goto waste if noone learns it .. So, SHOW ME THE METALHEAD IN YOU !! \m/
