Kevin, that was one of your best lessons! Your pacing is perfect. The technical progression for beginners is well thought out. You share helpful insights without overwhelming learners. You know your audience, unlike other tutorials that try to be everything to everyone. You explain the how and the why. Focused, friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. I'm now committed to learning and practicing with you for at least an hour each day. Thank you very much!

Hey Kevin I just got a used acoustic guitar and I plan on looking back at your original videos to take notes and to learn the fundamentals. One song I was looking to request is the intro from the song handlebars by flobots. It's such a calm melody and I am wondering if it could be easy to learn that way when I am done with the beginning tutorial I would like to jump into that 🙂 thank you for the content!

Hi, have you made a video on suggestions to memorize finger position for each chord? Thanks!😊

I have a random question. I was helping a lefty learn, and it dawned on me. Why do fret with our non dominant hand? Would it make more sense the fretting hand be the dominant more technical hand. It was just a random revelation i had. Wondered if the guitar creator was in fact a lefty and righties just followed. Cheers, love your lessons.
