dude out of all the tutorials i have found on youtube yours has got to be one of the best. You break it down and go step by step for the beginner to the advanced player. I picked it back up after 20+ year hiatus of playing. You rock good sir thank you

David Potts is the best guitar tutor on YouTube, always the right amount of info. This is how I got into playing. This should be the national standard for videos.

After 10 years break I finally found time and passion to learn everything again. After few days of trying to find adequate lessons I wanted to quit again, but than in the most desperate time I found YOU and I finally found that amazing feeling when you can play your favorite song. My fingers are in pain after several hours per day playing, but it definitely worth it. A THOUSAND THANKS TO YOU, you are amazing teacher and I hope you are also mentoring in your free time, it amazing feeling just to watch you how you enjoy the playing.
I would really like to ask you to put one song in your repertoire - Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing

Have been watching so much lessons to learn but only this one can definitely clear out all my confusion. Great work! Thank you!!!

Bravo, The best tutorial for this song. As tension between Russia and Ukraine developed, I searched for an easy tutorial to perform this song with my old guitar. Finally I found out this one. I am singing right now. Hope they can hear my voices and cool down.
Thanks for the great tutorial !

I have followed quite a few tutorials on YouTube. This is hands down the best one I have found yet.

Subscribed! Keep up the good work.

I am picking this thing up again after 40+ years. Right now the only thing I have picked up is Taps. I spent 26 years in the Marine Corps and had a lot of funerals to attend so I thought that should be my first one to learn. Now it is time to get started with other songs. I have watched a lot of you guys on here and out of all of them, you break it down so I can even understand.

BEST guitar teacher by far!! I can actual play songs now after years of struggling! Super easy and simple breakdown of the song! Many Thanks!

[eleanorrigby]

I have seen many videos on YouTube trying to learn strumming.. You are the only one who helped me THANK YOU ❤

[ericaaran]

I like how you break down and simply explain all aspects of the song, coards, tab, strum pattern, vocals all easy to see and laid out right. Thanks.

[bambiperry]

I have noticed that no matter how long you been playing you're always going to learn something new

[DavidSL]

You’re a great teacher. Bring on a layer of difficulty at a time ...
