Hi all Like others on here I have seen Ben's short video's and really liked his teaching style which prompted me to check his youtube channel and join his community. I am 60 years old and from Buckinghamshire Mine is the classic guitar story i'm not the first and will not be the last playing cowboy chords a few riffs and getting no where. I took some lessons that opened up the fretboard and now I can honestly say I enjoy playing every day. I attended my first video chat today with some other members, fantastic ,looking forward to attending more. Great channel Ben

A noodle. Knocking on Heavens Door.
Inspired by Paul’s progress towards pentatonic noodling here’s a noodle over diatonic chords. I think this is easier than playing over a dominant blues progression because harmonies come easier? They seem to for me at least. Easier to sound melodic. Anyway keeping it fairly simple I hope, using the Em scale….E natural minor I guess…..but resolving to the G notes where needed? It’s a good YouTube backing : Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door- Epic Backing Track in G ( Solo Friendly).

Sorry sorry sorry I lied not intentionally but I have found a earlier video back in October 2025 playing with a backing track, roughly the same as the first video.
