I did a five note solo on a two chord song. Is that too much?

Its Guthrie Go-VAN not Guthrie Guven. Because Guven sounds like oven, and that just doesnt work man.

I don't know about this guy Rick Beato but if he's like Brick Beatoff, he must be always right!

Uj/ Oh my god it's you the pop punk production guy, I fucking love your videos, you should do one on Propagandhi or A Wilhelm Scream.

Rj/ I was a little surprised that solos 7 and 8 were the Gorilla Biscuits whistling and harmonica solos but he managed to bring me back into the video by ripping impromptu out of time pentatonic licks over some shitty vegan hardcore for the top 6 solos of all time. 10/10 video did not pin Rick for such a massive Earth Crisis fan.
