some of the songs you teach are very brave choices, I have respect for the fact that you choose to teach a lot of christian songs

going to make a long comment here so forgive me in advance . First let me Thank You again for what you are doing. Now i have never played guitar, never had lessons or even knew much about it...a few years ago i tried to teach myself to play. I managed to start out simply reading tabs and playing a few single notes and a few chords thrown in...Amazing Grace was one of the first tunes I started picking ....when i started playing single notes seemed easier than chords. But after I started playing chords being able to get those single notes seemed to go away....( never figured that one out yet and or why ?) Now I have a few hobbies that have took my time and mind, and i have not picked up a guitar in awhile...But the issue i had was strumming and getting a song to sound as it should...so i assume strumming and the timing are the two biggest issues I have and I figure that is what most face especially beginners . So by you making these songs simplified and especially showing the strumming and how to does indeed help I can get my head on straight and pick up the guitar again and set down and watch and play along for it all.
