Inspired by a friend's question from the book "The Art of Electronics", here is a back-to-basics video on the BJT (bipolar junction transistor) Emitter-Follower, or Common-Collector amplifier. Some useful video links for background on some of the topics presented are:
Bipolar C-E amplifier biasing:
