That's the way uh huh uh huh i like it uh huh uh huh

There's one good way to become a great player. Just keep it up every day for the next 10 years and then get yourself a well deserved beer or 50. I was the same the other day playing from 9:30am till 6:30 pm, it was a big day but i had a great time. More power to the guitar nerds YAY

Ps One day we'll take over the world!!!!!!

Don't worry, it's completely normal. I sometimes even play guitar while I'm sitting on the loo. When a housemate caught me doing this she thought it was pretty strange but I assured her that this, too is completely normal. I think.

You can never play too much!! :)

Just dont play when your fingers/hands get too sore.
That could be bad.

Keep it up, Henrik! Just be careful, if your fingers start getting sore, you might mess up a finger like I did. My m is in a splint right now!

Hi man, keep at it whenever you are inspired. I think you are playing great. I met your friend Eric Stein in Sanlucar 2 weeks ago. He plays GREAT man! I told him you are playing really well and posting excellent vids, and he was very glad to hear it. Keep it up.

What I need is a plastic body, silent guitar (the yamaha type) with a thermos built into the body, and a straw sticking out the side. And maybe an alarm clock, digital, built into the side of the body. That way, I could always have coffee within reach *and* know when it's 2 hours away to work. And it should have little cloth pocket attached to the soundboard where I can put my mobile phone.

Yeah, I practise a bit too...
