I'm so happy that my latest James Brown 10 song Guitar Lesson and discussion about playing in his band is getting so many views! Do you guys have more questions for me? It was a wild ride and truly changed everything in my life. He really helped me only have to do music. I will always appreciate him and the band. He was the most interesting person I ever met.

I put out videos not only every day but sometimes 2 in a day, so not many people can keep up with that pace. That's why when I put out a compilation video, those lessons get another chance to be seen and can make for good fun if you are into a certain guitarist or band. I make sure to include any tabs that might have been missing, I try to edit out my goofy ramblings, and get right to the point of each song. Tomorrow will be my 6 Song Tribute to the Allman Brothers' Dickey Betts. The next day will be my newest James Brown Guitar Lesson Compilation. Probably 12 songs in there, haven't counted yet. Thanks for your support!

Damon Wood Guitar Lessons
Jesus Just Left Chicago lesson will come out tomorrow morning! Had a great time learning this one. It has a dropped A string tuning. Drop to G. It helps you get some real swampy vibes. Billy Gibbons is a master at that voodoo stuff. :) He was friends with the Voodoo Chile, after all. Friday is gonna be 7 songs from Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album. Saturday is gonna be 3 songs by The Eagles (featuring Hotel California - all the sweet acoustic fingerpicking parts) Sunday is looking like either a new one (I'll do a poll!) or AC/DC 5 songs or Jethro Tull 5 songs. Thanks for watching!!!
