This is just what I have been looking for. A simple approaching to ghost noting. I have long way to go to just get this video down, let alone the next ones. Huge thanks and I'll see you on the other side.
:D

Nice job on the video. I like the different variations that can be created from the notes. Nice to see a new take on ghost notes and some grooves I hadn't thought of before. Thanks for the lesson!
