I've been playing since I've been 12, now 66! You are one of the best and easiest I've seen on video. I have recommended your site to a few friends that are starting . I'm always learning even after all these years, and was taught something today also, very few honest teachers but you are!!!! Thanks

Hi James, my name is Danny, I live in the UK I'm disabled but iv had a great time looking forward to your series 30 in 30 . I'm going to enjoy replaying your series

[theolombard]

a Big thank you, James. Enjoyed the 30 days. I have learned so much. My confidence is up as I'm getting almost all you showed us in the past 30 days. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos enjoyable and understandable. Great work, and the best part is that one can review the past 30 days. Much appreciated.

Before I started watching the 30-day series I already knew a bunch of open and bar chords. But in my arrogance, I just watched and didn’t actually try to do many of the exercises. Well, when day 30 came around I could not even keep up with the most basic songs.

So…I’m back at day 8 and this time I am really putting in the work. For me, my biggest take away is to really practice the silent switching, and especially the strumming patterns, and the hidden gem…work with a metronome!

Hopefully, by Valentines Day I’ll be where I should have been on Jan 31.

Thank you, James. You are a wonderful teacher.

Thank you for being always inspiring. I’ve been encouraging my wife to strum with me as I learn to play guitar (using your online lessons which are great) and she has finally agreed. 🎉🎉

[patrickblondin]

Hey. I just watched your 2 videos 30 songs with just 4 chords. Excellent! I am an amateur guitar player who hasn’t played guitar in years. Decided to dust the guitar and start slowly. After watching these videos, you got me hooked again. Many thanks. And congratulations on these videos. I just discovered your channel. I subscribed and will be looking for other great videos you have done.

Hi James, from the UK. This series of courses has been just what I needed. You pitched it all just right and your easy friendly manner and careful explanations were most welcome. I’ll need to revisit quite a few of the series to get into shape (more views for you) but keep up the great work! I’ll continue to check out your content for sure. Thanks for really helping me on my way!

Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland.🎸 Gerd

Hi guys just wanted to leave here my deep appreciation for your videos and I wish I had internet when I first started playing the guitar....I had jumped from the violin to the guitar and I was pretty much self taught..anyway I started a band in the late 90s, recorded and had some cool concerts....after I served in the army my band broke up and later on I had an accident and cut and damaged some nerves on my left had so this means after all these years I still find useful what you do since I'm starting over again from scratch...thanks again. ❤❤❤❤❤

[lindasprenger]

This is so helpful. Thank you! Enjoy following. You make it much easier to grasp.

11:34 country roads loved that❤ just like in the kings men movie

[LMacNeill]

Quick note about Country Roads -- if you put a capo on the 2nd fret, you can play it in its original key, while still playing only G, C, Em, D (and the F that one time in the bridge).

To your wife, it took me many years as well to pronounce the Zeppelin song the right way.

It's a play with words "Jamaica" and "Did you make her?" sound the same said with a Cockney accent.

[originalfacefilms]

Great job you two!!🎉 Thank you for this great set of videos!!😊

[aus-rider]

Thanks for all those songs James, brilliant and it’s great to see Christina on the channel again 🤛👌

[lensteyaert]

If I'm not mistaken on the last song, Wonderful World it's G C G C D G instead of G C G C G D. But Thx for the 30 songs... Great help

[ralphwicks]

Great job! I think she did a great job also!
