Why I Suck... Series 5! The Plan for 2024....

 The votes have been cast, the polls have have been tabulated and the results are in! After what has been a quite startling year for the YouTube channel with the Style Guide videos now regularly racking up view counts in the thousands as opposed to around 70, allow me to reveal the plan for 2024!

January – Satchel (Steel Panther)

February – Brian May 

March – Nuno Bettencourt

April – Gary Moore

May – Albert Lee

June – SRV (Soul to Soul)

July – Hendrix (Electric Ladyland)

August – Allan Holdsworth (sharp intake of breath...)

September – Jeff Healey

October – Justin & Dan Hawkins (The Darkness)

November – Steve Lukather (Toto)

December – Randy Rhoads


So there we go, quite the classic rock slant this year but seasoned with a little country & blues and continuing with my attempt to transcribe every note Jimi & SRV ever committed to tape!

Meanwhile I am now in possession of a new PC with far more powerful video editing capability which should mean I'll be able to actually edit videos.. hopefully some clever stuff like multiple cameras, colour balancing etc., all courtesy of my long-suffering good friend (and ferociously takented keyboard player) Leigh of Dave The Rock Band & Guilty Pleasures fame!

So as well as the One Minute Licks (which haven't really been One Minute for quite some time but no one seems to be complaining...) and the Style Guides, there will be actual lessons and performances going up and I'm planning a few "Five Minute Lessons" to be a slightly more in depth but still easily digestible guide to various techniques and solos.. but I want this channel to be reactive and a genuine resource for all you  guys out there in internet-land, so I'm very open to suggestions!

So roll on 2024, let's do this! Happy New Year to everyone out there :-)
