Thank you, Andy! As a 52 year old advanced beginner, I’ve learned a lot from your videos. You make learning easy! Looking forward to the “Sunny Afternoon” tutorial!

when i bought my first guitar 2020 this channel is where i could spend most of my t
time . well helped me alot, pretty comfortable with a guitar now
, still learning though

[romanengelbrecht]

i havent even gotten a guitar yet but im watching these videos and its motivating me more and more to get one. I play piano and drums but always struggled with string instruments

[Mr_Wonderful]

Soak Up the Sun is a great one. The riff/strum (with string muting), power chord breaks, and open chords.

[musachi]

I was very pleased to see Sunny Afternoon from The Kinks on the list. I’ve had that in my repertoire for a while now but I’m thrilled to be reminded about it. Honestly such a banger, can’t believe I forgot I’d learned it. Can’t wait to whip this one out and get the whole group singing 😅

[yellowdogparty]

Good collection! For the record, where I live there’s no such thing as a summer campfire unless you want to get heat stroke and it rains every day. So play what you want. 😂

[frankebert]

thanks for uploading. fun to see and what an inspiration. thanks from germany

[GeriWardMusic]

Loved all these song choices! Used to do “Summer in the city” with a band a while back, the timing for a vocalist took some mastering! Got there though! Thanks for another top video Andy 😊

[jakadis]

I just started working on learning guitar and you’ve easily been the best guy I’ve found on YouTube, love the videos

[drgon]

Great now i can't unhear that diabolical vocal attempt on every song!

[urbangorilla]

I think the A in the chorus in major. The A minor comes in the intro.

[davidgray]

Thank you Andy for giving us something to play inspired

[Jstchillin]

I was going to request this soon lol thanks Andy :)

[CampfireGuitarHero]

Great selection. My fav was Walking on Sunshine. I’ll give that one a crack myself.

[Playsinvain]

I have come to the conclusion, after deep consideration, that you are an amazing guitar player.

[davestinson]

Mr blue sky was great, though would like to see that in more depth 👍

[tmac]

Enjoyed all the songs, definitely want to learn here comes the sun and summer of 69, will look for tutorials, great video, thank you
