Cheeky ba**ard, isn't he? Teaching out of the front passenger seat of his car.

They drive on the left over there, that's the driver's seat. Clearly an original idea. ;^)

For some reason I don't think his lessons will take-off in the same way yours did Adam. For one thing, he needs to place subtitles in his videos-lol!

You're quite right about it being the driver's seat. Good point! And nice innovation.....

Piece-a-cake. I like his enthusiasm. I had to watch some of his other videos to see what he's about. Pretty encouraging fellow. Ya never know what he's going to talk about next.

He certainly matches you for entertainment value, Guss! If a little lacking in class... Though I kinda like that, lessons for the layman =)

Like the man said in his own words... He sucks AND he blows. He's always looking around like he's ducking the cops.

He looks like he might be able to sell you a very cheap telly too. Maybe that's why he's keeping his eye out.

He's not teaching harp as such.

He's a London cabbie and he's called his vids 'The Knowledge'.

In London, in order to get your cabbies licence, you need to know how to drive to every street in London without the aid of Sat Nav or a map. It's called 'The Knowledge'.

http://www.tfl.gov.uk/businessandpartners/taxisandprivatehire/1412.aspx

London cabbies are also famed for incessant talking when they pick up a fare and having an opinion, or 'knowledge' about everything. He's showing people how easy it is to play basic harp.

Looking at his other posts (Being a bouncer. Wearing a beany hat like Beckham) and the fact he's put ads on them, he's playing up the London cabbie part to make money.

It's quite obvious he's playing up the part. Yes, people do speak the way he does, but he's completely overplaying it with all his 'intcha' 'I love Lundun Taa'n' thing.

I shouldn't worry Adam, he's more interested in YouTube views.

Good observation Stevelegh. Makes sense now. He's still a better harp teacher than some who aspire to teach on YouTube.
