Hi, how are you doing?

0:00:06.400,0:00:08.409
Justin here with another[br]quick tip for you.

0:00:08.409,0:00:12.582
And this one is pretty random indeed[br]but very, very cool and effective.

0:00:12.582,0:00:14.478
It just seems really funny.

0:00:14.478,0:00:16.759
I'd better admit straight away[br]that I stole this

0:00:16.759,0:00:19.138
off my buddy Dario Cortese,[br]great guitar player,

0:00:19.138,0:00:20.557
we were just doing a workshop

0:00:20.557,0:00:23.017
over in Italy last weekend.

0:00:23.017,0:00:25.368
He mentioned this thing[br]and I just thought,

0:00:25.368,0:00:27.058
I thought it was a joke at first

0:00:27.058,0:00:28.598
and I didn't really believe it.

0:00:28.598,0:00:29.977
Then i tried it and it worked.

0:00:29.977,0:00:30.927
I'm going to share this with you

0:00:30.927,0:00:32.307
because it's just so weird.

0:00:32.307,0:00:34.288
So, many of you will have noticed before,

0:00:34.288,0:00:37.547
especially if you are doing[br]those kinds of licks like -

0:00:38.027,0:00:40.678
lots of slidey sort of stuff,

0:00:40.678,0:00:44.558
fingers can sometimes feel[br]a little bit abrasive on the strings.

0:00:44.558,0:00:46.678
There's things that you can buy,

0:00:46.678,0:00:47.928
like there's stuff called[br]

0:00:47.928,0:00:49.368
Fast Fret that I used to use

0:00:49.368,0:00:51.769
when I was a teenager[br]to lube up the strings a bit.

0:00:51.769,0:00:54.759
Actually, you don't need to bother[br]doing all that sort of stuff

0:00:54.759,0:00:58.618
because we've got a natural lubricant[br]hiding in our eyebrows and in our hair.

0:00:58.618,0:01:01.518
Just try this, you won't believe me,

0:01:01.518,0:01:03.617
I didn't believe it[br]until I tried it either.

0:01:03.617,0:01:04.978
If you just rub your fingers[br]

0:01:04.978,0:01:06.029
up one of the strings,

0:01:06.029,0:01:07.127
not the wound strings,

0:01:07.127,0:01:08.587
they are always going to feel

0:01:08.587,0:01:10.078
a bit gritty, but say the third string.

0:01:10.078,0:01:13.598
Run your fingers up and down the string[br]and feel how abrasive it is.

0:01:13.598,0:01:18.178
Then get your fingers together,[br]and give them a rub on your eyebrow

0:01:18.178,0:01:22.548
and then do it again, and you'll feel[br]it's so much easier.

0:01:22.548,0:01:24.529
It's really lubed up your fingers,

0:01:24.529,0:01:27.818
which means that you can[br]slide about on the guitar a lot easier.

0:01:28.438,0:01:30.479
It's just such a weird, random thing,

0:01:30.484,0:01:33.349
I almost can't believe[br]that I'm actually letting this out

0:01:33.349,0:01:35.840
into the wider world[br]because it sounds really weird.

0:01:35.840,0:01:38.009
But it works.[br]It's really effective.

0:01:38.009,0:01:40.359
If you fingers are kind of[br]grating on the strings

0:01:40.359,0:01:41.807
and you can feel them rubbing

0:01:41.807,0:01:44.457
then it's going to wear[br]the skin out on your fingers,

0:01:44.457,0:01:46.549
wear the calluses,[br]and you don't want that.

0:01:46.549,0:01:48.377
You want to keep them[br]nice and solid.

0:01:48.377,0:01:52.928
So, yeah. Very random[br]but very effective.

0:01:52.928,0:01:54.699
I'll pass on the credit now.

0:01:54.699,0:01:57.458
Again, I nicked this[br]off my buddy Dario Cortese,

0:01:57.458,0:02:01.017
I'll put a link up to his website[br]in the description here.

0:02:01.017,0:02:02.938
Fantastic country guitar player,

0:02:02.938,0:02:07.177
a master of many different styles[br]but an incrdible player.

0:02:07.187,0:02:08.658
A specialist in country stuff,

0:02:08.658,0:02:11.908
he's got a YouTube channel[br]with loads of guitar lessons on it,

0:02:11.908,0:02:13.470
the country ones are amazing.

0:02:13.470,0:02:15.728
You definitely want to[br]check that out as well.

0:02:15.728,0:02:17.558
I hope you'll have a little bit of fun

0:02:17.558,0:02:19.768
lubing up your fingers[br]with your eyebrows

0:02:19.768,0:02:23.559
or you know, I don't have[br]a whole lot of hair so...

0:02:23.559,0:02:26.200
I could probably scrape out[br]enough oil to use my hair

0:02:26.200,0:02:28.338
but the eyebrows,[br]especially when you've got

0:02:28.338,0:02:30.978
massive eyebrows like mine,[br]which seem to work a treat.

0:02:30.978,0:02:33.458
But if you've got lots of hair,[br]just a quick rub

0:02:33.458,0:02:35.348
will sort it out as well.

0:02:35.348,0:02:36.957
What a random quick tip this is.

0:02:36.957,0:02:40.938
Anyway, I hope it helps you[br]slide around on the guitar easier.

0:02:40.938,0:02:43.108
I'll see you for plenty more[br]lessons and songs

0:02:43.108,0:02:44.768
and all sorts of stuff very soon.

0:02:44.768,0:02:46.257
Take care of yourself, bye bye.
