Tom-

Hi! Great lesson, just have a few questions on the tutorial, spent a few days on this one. I did this one on my acoustic since I just bought my first one in 27 years and trying to get the feel of it for about a half year before studying once again on my electric strat.

1. The rhythmic stops (muting) I don't see you doing this on the full performance video but see you muting the strings with your fretting hand, please clarify if this is an option.

2. The one measure intro at 138 bpm is challenging me for the very quick tempo eighth notes.

3. The F chord is giving me a little bit of a hard time for a clean sound while playing the F note on the high e string. No problem with the other open chords including the barre chords on the outro.

In any case, I feel challenged playing this one with the driving rhythm and some quick chord changes on the acoustic. Just feels like more work on the acoustic to get crisp and clean tones but that's the challenge.

Any feedback be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tony
