    Default My video lesson has over 3 million youtube views

    And it's pretty crappy too... it was one of my first online video lessons I threw together, back in 2006. Now it just passed THREE MILLION views! Insane....

    Way to go Robert!

    It's nice to see a video such as this achieve greatness without it being something stupid like a kid going off a roof in a shopping cart.

    I should have watched this video a long time ago. I've been playing a part of this song wrong for years! :P

    There are vids of people like SRV and Clapton that don't have near a view count like that ~
    But what if it is because people are sending the link to friends and saying
    " Dude, look at the veins on THIS guy !!!" ???
    We love you, only teasing
    Good job Robert, thanks for trying to help make the world a better sounding place

    3 Million? Wow. Maybe this video is crappy according to your nowadays standard, but it is still very useful and perfectly explained! I bet there is a bunch of viewers that first discovered your new vids and then also checked the older ones. Robert, I like all of your videos and I clearly see a huge improvement over the time!

    The highest views on one of my vids is 204.091. Still lightyears away from your stuff ;-)
