@BanjoBen How would you design a guitar kickoff for this song? I’m kind do a walkup from the low G with a modified G run. It seems kind of short for a kick off.

Hi @Stuart.Gamble It’s right there in the basic melody lesson.

@Stuart.Gamble, you can start from “You’ll never know, dear” until the end of the stanza and then do the lick to kick it off. It’s all in the first solo.

Ben, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart, I’m going back to studying after a few months, and there’s nothing better than studying with a world music genius that is you.

@samuelcoimbra01 What part of Brazil do you live? My family hosted a exchange student from Vila Velha near Vitoria. We have never made it down there to visit her family (she is now living you the USA), but maybe one day.
