Really excited about this series. Perfect timing for me, and there's not as much content like this. Really like your full band series as well.

Whoever “disliked” this video, may your high e string always break when you’re showing off on your guitar Never stay in tune. Yes. “Never” with a capital “N”, you know that’s real, now. …And may your head be like teflon and anything you try to learn, doesn’t stick! XD

[johnswarna]

Hi Andy... I started playing the guitar 2 years ago... And I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the lessons... I am still learning thanks to you... God bless you!!!

Loving this, just so stuck as where to go next, and this is perfect ! Reason to pick up the guitar again and love the, here is where you put your finger on the one, two, fret and press lightly. Brilliant ! But then on the final part you spend a fraction of a second, on those last three . Lol ! That’s the flippin tricky part. The emphasis on the first 3 was easy, and didn’t need as much time, but the last three ! I must have watched and re watched and re watched that 15 times to see what string and what finger

[guillermohernanmedranoolme]

Thank you very much, I watch your 10 day guitar lessons last year while we were survivng the pandemic, I really think that i can play the guitar now! After years and years of giving up I finally can play a lot of songs. But I really needed to have lessons of leading guitar really urgent, this is going to be some excellent 10 days!

[edgytryhard]

Thanks. So many beginner videos are just about chord changes etc so when you've mostly got the hang of that it's hard to know where to go.

[juliafischer]
