Awesome timing on this subject for me…I’ve been teaching myself guitar over the past few years (retired in 2019 and took up guitar during the pandemic to keep my hands and mind busy). I’ve been feeling very limited lately with the barre chords and I’m stuck in pentatonic purgatory. I live in rural Canada so not really any guitar teachers within a reasonable driving distance. I love the ability to add some colour/flavour to the chords with the hammer on/off. I have a looper pedal but REALLY struggle to make my loops sound good….I hope this will help..I’ll be digging into your other videos now..thanks Joe
