Just begnning holding a guitar and Steve starts at the beginning, holding, naming parts, placing fingers, and I am excited to get through the series. The pace seems perfect. Thanks Steve.

"Third finger, fourth finger. And what do you call this"
Me: "5th finger?"
"You're right. It's your thumb"
I choked laughing so hard at myself


Anyways this was super helpful thank you!

It's such a pleasure to find a beginner course like this - comprehensive, perfectly gradual, explaining everything from scratch. Thank you for your work, Steve, and also for your unique way of giving the information - with lots of love for music and for the teaching process itself. One of the most important things that every beginner needs is to keep being inspired, and your approach really gives fuel to this inspiration. Thanks again and greetings from Russia :)

I just got my first guitar. With COVID we all have a little more free time on our hands, so why not learn how to play guitar? I just wanted to say that I appreciate your teaching style. It's laid-back and easy. You go at just the right tempo and you keep it interesting. I've seen plenty of other videos where the teachers either go too fast or are too boring to listen to. You da man, Steve. Thanks for posting your beginner lessons on YouTube.
