It is impressive the patience that you have to explain and repeat every single detail. I think you are one of the three best guitar teachers I have found online.

Hey, Angela...

I just found your site here on YouTube and am currently studying Angie with you. I have always played a more basic version of this and added a few embellishments here and there, which has been fine, but your lesson is 👌.

I picked up a guitar just over 2 years ago, after retiring from my drama teaching career, and I am absolutely loving playing, despite the handicap of old age arthritis, and I really appreciate your skill in imparting your considerable wisdom at a beginner friendly pace that provides time for practicing as I learn, repeating phrases really slowly, so I can refine my playing as I go. Brilliant! Thank you sooo much for taking the time. Your patience and your upbeat personable interaction with your students is fantastic!

I practice 5 to 8 hours a day and have been learning from a lot of online tutors, like Justin and Marty and your friend Mary Spender, and numerous other teachers, who are all great, but you are the only one among them who goes at a pace that allows me to play without having to pause and rewind during the challenging parts, which is brilliant.

So...Angela...I thank you for your great work and your generosity in passing on your skills to this ol' fella...

All the Best,

Tim Holtom 🤗☮🤗

[chrisrose]

God, I love this lesson - I almost have it all! Angela - Angie - you are a giver of light in a somewhat darker world... xx

[ravinraj]

Hi Angela - you explain it so well, and the slow repetition of the parts makes it so much easier for people to follow.

Girl you are a great teacher. I love the way you take your time and drive it home. You make it simple and easy to understand. I had given up playing guitar but you got me interested all over again. Great job!!! Thank you.

I’ve been playing guitar since 1963. Of course playing so many popular songs by the Stones, The Beatles, et al. Of course those were the days when you only had the radio or the record to listen to when trying to learn songs, endlessly playing a portion on the record by lifting the record player arm and trying to replace the needle just at the spot on the record where the particular phrase of the song is you are trying to learn.😩. Yikes!
So it is great to listen to you and watch your video where you touch upon the intricacies of fingering of chords, finger placement, and the importance of “pivot” fingers. Your instruction lets me go back and “fine tune” my performance of songs from the 60’s and 70’s, particularly the guitar parts of the performance😎. Thanks so much from a fan in Thorndale, Texas!

I've only waited more than a year to hear you handle this one!! Thank you!! Great job. As always.

[johnlukasik]

I have played guitar 40 years ! I have always dreamed of learning to play Angie, ( kind of had some of it ) ! You explain things with tip very well !!! But there was a descending at the end of intro, and then all of a sudden, you then showed it !!! 1:30 am here, and going to give it a rest for the night ! I hope I can save it and work some more on it tomorrow ? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME !!!

[lawnorder]

I have been learning to play for over a year. Looking at your long list of lessons, I can't believe I've never come across your channel. Your teaching style is off the charts best. You always give 'just one more', followed by another. I love it! I can see in your eyes that you love music and sound as much as I do. Thank you for taking the time. You have a new fan. 🤘🙏

Angela, you teach so well with so much patience, you are the angel of angels, thank you so much for mediating such a beautiful thing.
