hello Good Guitarist i am just starting out i am 65 year old i live in Queensland Australia and i cannot get anyone to teach me they dont seem to have time for for someone my age most say i only teach school students so i found you on my computer which i have just got and teaching myself this i have found you to be my life saver i cannot thank you enough for what you put up on the computer thing how you break it down is just so good but i am struggling switching from c to d but as you say in your training things do it a hole bunch of times at the moment you are teaching me house of the rising sun its been a month but it will click one day so thank you for your time Mr teacher Regards Neil

Awesome loved this, so easy and quick to learn. Practicing at 2:00 a.m. with the light of my iPad and picking so I can barely hear it so I don’t wake my husband. Can’t wait to play it for him in the morning.

I have been strumming this for a few years now. I am really happy to find such an easy finger pattern to add to my repertoire.

[simonk]

Loving this teaching style, the best on the internet. This is my next song to learn. Thanks.

[No_Name_Really]

I already knew the chords and the pattern, so I learnt the song in no time at all and could play along with you. Thank you, James!

[lucylu]

Zaista je lako naučiti svirati na ovaj način, izvrsno objašnjavaš napokon mogu odsvirati bez greške 🥰 . Hvala!

[kimfan]

Thank you. This is now my first song on guitar, and you helped me not to give up.

[nirmalamarak]

Finger picking is pleasant to listen but it will take time to learn. Thanks a lot for uploading this video.

[bruceringrose]

Very good lesson James, and the vocal on the first run thru was excellent also!

[martinsmith]

Hi James great tutorial. I know you probably get asked for requests all the time but I would love a tutorial on Helpless by Neil Young, one of my all time faves.

[joe]

I struggled with chords, struggled with strumming, but fingerstyle is coming to me relatively easy. Perhaps it's because it's the type of music I've always loved most... I thought it would be the hardest.

[mikeshikes]

Absolutely fabulous. I told you that you could sing.
Your instructional technique is second to none.
Would you mind sharing the model of the Craftsman guitar you are playing on.

[antoniopalermo]

Ciao, ti seguo dall'Italia e devo dire che tra tutti i maestri o tali sei il migliore, i tuoi tutorial sono semplici ed intuitivi, ti seguo sempre, domanda che chitarra usi in questo video? grazie sempre ed al prossimo video.

[mikekozel]

Looking forward to the tabs. I have to follow print to learn!

[LukeA]

Thanks! Getting this one down pretty good, could you do "Waitin' in School" by Ricky Nelson?

[flouisbailey]

James why are some teachers using tab reversed from the way you teach it? You always make it simple and easy to learn.
