🎸FAQs:
Are you a full-time YouTuber?

How long have you been playing guitar for?
I started playing guitar when I was 10 years old, so it has been more than 20 years. I have always loved fingerpicking guitar, so this is why all my tutorials focus on this topic.

Why are you on Patreon?
Patreon is great! It allows creators to make money doing what they love. On Patreon I can share my guitar lessons with my Patrons and get paid for it. As a creator, I feel like Patreon really made a huge difference in the way I share my content :)

Do you do concerts?
I used to do a lot of gigs in the past. London is a great place to play music almost every day. When my YouTube channel started to grow, I decided to go all in and try to help as many people as possible learning guitar. This goal takes all the time I have available, so I am not doing any gig or concert atm.

Finally, it's all clicking with me. I'm excited to try this out today. I'm assuming when you change the C major chord to C11, that's when you use your creativity and just explore different chords to see which sounds best to you. As long as the chord is major since minor would change the key.

That might be the most beautiful guitar playing I’ve ever heard
