It was awesome afternoon figuring out sultans of swing. My boys have a decent understanding of the core chord work of the song. We made it as far as studying the lead where he starts with harmonics in with the A major arpeggio but we hung it up for a bit the boys and their uncle my son in law and I played some hoops in drive way. I absolutely love sitting on back deck and the three of us jam. It excites me and brings me joy to see the happiness they feel when they get it wright on fretboard. I always tell them just have fun this is just a piece of wood with six strings that we run electric thru. . we always go off on tangents like today bridge of sighs or showing them pinch harmonics think billy gibbons ZZ Top on pinched harmonics.
