This is a video that describes how to play Run on the acoustic guitar.
Run is defined in Wikipedia as:
"Run is a music genre that is categorized by its reggae, punk, breakbeat, and street influences.
Its most notable characteristic is the often, but not exclusive, use of reggae "chop" chords, and consecutive finger and hand hits on the guitar's body."

Its broken down into 5 or six parts explaining how to play a break beat, a chop, and "build ups"
I was banned from Ultimate Guitar for posting a thread about how to play Run on acoustic guitar, I was told that I was advertising, this video is not for profit, fame or anything like that. It is an instructional video to evolve acoustic guitar playing. thank you guitar noise moderators for letting this post be available. respect -
I was watching a couple of minutes and it is nice. If I get some free time I'll watch all the video.
