i am playing this a lot now, really good to get the fingers moving and build up the sore fingers when coming back to the love of guitar after a break - love your work brother

[dkjaiswal]

I'm an elderly person.. trying to learn guitar 🎸 thru Utube...mainly from your videos. You creat magic when you play guitar. I don't know I would ever be able to play even 10% of what you play. I love your finger picking style. You are amazing..! God bless you Cirilo..👍

I want to do this so bad . It's the only thing I think about. 🤔 writing a song for my daughter that passed away. I think this might be the way to go . Love your way of teaching.
So amazing you play awesome. I need to focus 😫

[keki]

I have changed lots of guitar teachers as I was not satisfied with none of them bur ultimately following your lesson on you tube once again I develop interest and I am proud of playing finger style guitar thank you very much. You are doing great work God will definitely give you a big reward for all this. Thank you & wish you all the best

I love this exercise and play it everyday. It is my meditation. I am also honing "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor from the 1970's, covered by many including Cake. Tonight I realised it is the same chord progression. It suddenly makes sense why I like both tunes so much.

[guybrushskywalker]

That is a great video, Marco. I love the way you teach practice patterns that are also beautiful and nice to play.
Thank you for the great work.

[singh]

Wonderful and most effective as always. You help us not only learn but also grow musically…thank you 🙏

[tomplaner]

WOW! For a beginner. (me) what a way to train those reluctant fingers. I'm hooked!!

[nevermind-wpbf]

Thank you! This is a very nice lesson and chord progression.
I've learned a lot about how to use the scale for licks, from this lesson.
It all make sense and I'll keep practice until I play this piece flawless...
I will also apply this knowledge for other scales and chord progressions, as well.
You are a great teacher!

[sanankhamsao]

Hey! Marco have learned so much from you, thank you for being a good instructor . I am a song writer and love to teach others.

[StuartwasDrinkell]

Grazie Marco. As usual a very useful exercise. Now 15 minutes of my daily regime on this one... you are dominating my exercises these days 😁

[justyoutube]

I love this thanks.

I would just find it easier to follow you if the chords your playing could pop up on the top corner as you play as its not always easy to see what your left hand fingers are doing. I cant wait to learn this.

[abhaykarekar]

Hi Marco - Greetings from India. First time I found such a fantastic video on you tube for beginners comprising everything from right hand exercise, left hand exercise, chord progression and melody as well. I liked it Boss. Looking forward to watching similar comprehensive less talk more action type videos from you which make beginners interested in learning more and more. Thanks a lot.

[danielscroggins]

Last question from Dan is the Furch Grand a Cedar or Spruce top. keep up the great teaching for us less fortunate.

[petercarvello]

Wonderful help, simple, straightforward, yet powerful and effective exercise, thank you Marco.

[jonathondoherty]

I love this one so much! It builds on Carcassi very nicely. I consider you a master of modern classical!! Very grateful for your teaching and spirit 👏⭐️

[ted]

Wonderful exercise and beautiful music. Definitely will learn this. Many thanks
