Wrong place to put this but i didnt know how else to do it. Rick, for a Rochester native, im puzzled why you havent paid any tribute to the late Chuck Mangione. I figured youd be the first to post something, but i see nothing. Is there a reason? If i simply missed it forgive me. I love your channel. Gm❤

I love how Rick explains music. At the same time his courses which I now also have the Scale Matrix is not how he shares music on YouTube. The scales are mostly patterns so I did not learn the difference between the shape in major and minor and still confused. I thought he start from major scale the intervals and minus or adjust from there. I figured it out on Chat GPT but hoped this course would have because that’s how he speaks I am landing on the third etc….

Rick, I'm not entirely sure why I did not know about you until recently. However I want you to know that I'm subscribed to both and then I'm not in that 57%. We are about the same age and love the same music... big Beatles fan Tommy Emmanuel CGP, much of your guests. Except for Sting, Ive never been a big fan though I loved Roxanne. I saw an interview with him a long time ago that put me off but I do respect him and respect what he's done in music. My grandfather started me playing at the age of 8, I didn't really get going until teens. I had a pretty good run for a while. Playing in different bands, opening for people, meeting some great players. Alcohol took it all away. I've been sober for 15 years now, it was an experience . Tommy Emmanuel's song, "Those who wait" was the beginning of my long road to sobriety. It was the first song I heard him play and introduction to the greatest acoustic guitar player that ever lived. On YouTube specifically the video where he's on some radio show. In a blue shirt. That song used to make me cry and I would go to sleep listening to it over and over and over again. I couldn't believe anybody could play that well and play from their heart if you've ever seen this video you will know what I mean Rick he plays from his heart and you can feel his ecstasy as he's playing it because it doesn't even look like he thinks about what he's playing. My question is this if you made it this far, can you see why he does not play that song anymore. I've been to three of his shows and said it out loud...though I know he heard me, he won't play it. I met him in Burlington Vermont, and I told him I came to hear that song he just looked at some guy next to him and they just smiled and he never told me why. Can you ask him the next time you have the opportunity? Big favor I know and you probably didn't even read this far. But if you did read this far Rick could you ask him why he doesn't play the most beautiful song in concert he ever wrote. I played it at my sister's wedding. Well, I chopped up like chord wood, it but I got through. I'm doing it no justice but having a great time. I love the show Rick I think you're doing a great job. Keep it up and I'll keep watching

Hello Rick, you are probably aware of the playng issue the website is having when pausing and playing repeatedly and so having to refresh the page. A cool addition would be to add the hand positions with the finger numbers to the pdfs, please! Thank you
