Such a headache of a day, work hassles, kids arguing whilst I’m out shopping for food, just headache man. Finding this video has really cheered me up. Great teaching man. Just subbed too. Respect. 😊

Soul classic, blonde Tele with a warn in maple fretboard, wonderful teaching, a clear appreciation and understanding of music and a stylish cap. Instant subscription.

Great content! I like your teaching style. I picked up the core of this song very quickly from your very clear explanation.
It would be good to hear you put all of these ideas together in a longer rendition of the song. I do hope you bring out more videos like this soon. Thanks!

Really well done. With so many guitar videos on YouTube, there are many that don’t work for me. This worked for me. I would like to have a copy of the tab though too if possible in the future. Thanks!
