    It is really interesting that this guy is one of the most rated ones. I am guessing that there is no competition or what. Random youtube musicians teach way better than this guy. I respect the effort. However, from a professional person, I would expect something professional. The guy looks like he doesn't know things. It was the worst tutorial I have ever seen. Period.
