Saw my friend play guitar, said i wish i could play... Gave me a flying v and bought me an amp, mark my damn words, i will figure this out, i will learn guitar.

You are really doing God‘s work, bro. I know you have other important things to do in life and a bunch of obligations. So, taking your time to teach the guitar in such a thoughtful and sincere way to complete strangers that you will most likely never meet is very admirable. The law of causality is real, and causality will be very kind to you. I’m looking forward to watching your future videos and learning how to play this majestic instrument from you. Thanks a lot, bro.🎸

This is superb, Kevin! 👏👏👏 Im in my early 40s, bought my first acoustic some weeks ago. Been watching SEVERAL videos for beginners, and man I gotta say, as a guitar-noob - its a jungle out there! What sets you apart from the rest imo, is that you cut the bs and go straight to the core of things. Easy to understand and very well explained, and I love your laid-back and informal approach. Thanks A LOT, man! 🤜🤛

Looking forward to your dads videos as i am a 70 year old stuck somewhere between a beginner and a somewhat intermediate that just had surgery on my fretting hand thumb. Been a long two months but looking forward to getting back at it.Not looking for pity just some direction to get over the hump.!!

I wish there was a channel like yours but for piano, it would make my life so much easier cause you have everything catogorized so well and since I play guitar for quite a while I just can easily tell you don’t fuck around in your videos and that’s great man, keep

[patrickchen]

This channel is so high quality, pls keep doing what you’re doing!!! Grateful for these videos

I had my guitar for almost 2 years and with my ADHD I had few moments when i started learning but after a while I left it so now im starting from scratch and without knowing You posted this video I picked up the guitar just now and decided to check for any beginners exercises. Im glad I subscribe to Your channel, so it feels like this video was meant to be for me right now 😂

[gatdude]

I watched many youtube videos about guitar basics, but yours are THE BEST. by far. Thank You, and please upload more!

[Srobinson]

I was sure you were going to say you would teach yourself left handed! Looking forward to Guitar Dad and Guitar Mom shredding.

Kevin, as a fellow music educator, I must say I admire the way that you elegantly present information and know exactly what NOT to include so that beginners don't get off track. As a person who has to know the "why" of everything, it is good to see an example of someone teaching where only the "whats" come first and listeners are given the security that it's okay not to know the "why" right away.

I started learning guitar 8 days ago and I’ve learned some notes to play but can’t change them quickly, a bit of spider exercise and some basic theory but didn’t knew what to really practice everyday to become better and now you’ve helped me with this. Huge thanks! 🙏🤘

Think I'm your target audience. My geetar is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I'm 60 and have time to practice, and motivated. But dang man, hope I can keep up and complete your assignments and goal. Will definitely try. Thanks for everything.

[andriirad]

That's brilliant, mate! I'm 38 years old and finally decided to chase my dream and start learning how to play the electrical guitar. Luckily I was able to find your channel, so my plan is to follow your learning guides from A to Z, as it looks like perfectly structured information.

[Peshy_]

Just picked up the guitar a month ago and have been watching your videos to help make a roadmap for myself, thanks for helping new players in a clear and concise way man, your videos are great!

[anthonygallantmcdavid]

Man, you are the best, I've tried to learn before, and I never understood ever since I started watching your videos. I've been getting a lot better

[Mysterios]

I love the spider exercise. I know that’s a skill I don’t have, so it’s fun to build it. Thanks

[TofuDuffington]

This video just changed my life I think 😂. THANK YOU for laying out the basics. The information provided is exactly what I needed to hear. You’re a fantastic teacher. Seriously, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[oskarcottam]

Thanks for making this new challenge I'm taking on feel less daunting and more achievable!

[markbutler]

Kevin, you are the best that I have found at teaching guitar. I am 62 year old Navy Veteran retired and guitar is really giving me something new to keep me going. Love your sense of humor.
