bro I lost 14 picks in my whole life and found them all in this quarantine

[sktrdudenoob]

You're so smooth and skilled at fingerpicking it's almost like you're playing in cursive. Good work dude! I liked this a lot.

[lukusthesaint]

me a fingerstyle guitarist: Ha you fools. I don't use picks. So I have nothing to lo- what the.... where is my capo?

[gelodavidko.]

Everytime I watch your videos, I think guitar playing is easy, then I grab mine...
After 30 minutes I put it down and I cry.

I've been playing guitar for 6 years and left it when I started moving city and my teacher died.

Eventually you video made me want to start playing again and made me feel like I can still achieve beautiful things and remember his memory.

Thanks to you.

Guitarists: “oh no I lost my picks I’m screwed what am I gonna do?!!”

Me who lost my guitar: well shit

[gibemass]

I used to be a legendary guitar player in my youth, I could play Wonderwall on repeat. One day my favourite pick went missing, guitar was never the same again for me.

Years later, and thoroughly over my troubles, I'm walking down the city streets, I look up and hear a crack and a thud. Breathless, and bleeding on the pavement, I get a glimpse of my killer.

My old pick, with a rifle zeroed in on me.

This is my last post.

I've played Hallelujah on guitar for years--just a simple version I picked up by ear--but seeing a couple of the things he did here clued me in to how to spice it up a little like Buckley does. Thanks man.

[valtteriniemela]

You're the reason I started to play guitar again. I have learned so much these last 6 months. Thank you Paul :)

This guy looks like a musical connor mcgregor

[PedroATLopes]

Wow, Hallelujah sounded amazing! The telecaster tone sounds fantastic, i loved it!!

[DaFfYdOOk]

Hallelujah was literally the one that had inspired me to get my Taylor down from the attic and start playing again... two young kids. Been a harsh few years but music literally feeds my soul and I can feel myself vanishing without it

[sammywhale]

Please make a video of you just playing. Nothing else. Cause you're so good and it's relxing

[feliceconte]

i love this guy - so talented and inspiring; he really motivates me to perfect any given song no matter how long it takes. And what a nice guy, right? This is the amazing side of youtube - content that increases your knowledge of the instrument and your dedication to honing your skill. Thank you, Paul!

[incog.]

The way you explain everything makes everything sound so simple

[vjekobasic]

Excellent choices for beginners, I remember playing Dust in the wind, Fast car and Road trippin' and absolutely loving their feel. Also, my recommendation is to try playing Tears in heaven and Bard's song... they felt really difficult when I started, but improved my playing immensly and felt really satisfying to conquer! Great video, keep up the good work!
