I strongly advise you to purchase Jame’s “Strumming made simple” course.This strumming course has a comprehensive workbook that supplements the course videos. Finally, I am now more confident on hearing and feeling the rhythm 🎶 which means I can play in time.This is a comprehensive strumming course that caters for beginners leading to advanced.🎸 Everyone has rhythm but it takes Jame’s exercises and reflection to realise this.

Literally every guitar tutorial I've ever seen is just like "play the chords". You're the first person I've found to explain "roots" or go into strumming patterns. TY

I love that you have all these songs done in separate lessons with more detail. Crazy amount of content!

Great video James. Think it's great that you play the tunes without backing tracks, so we can here how the guitar really sounds. Keep up the great work. Love your channel.

[williamsnyder]

You should do a 12 string series even tough these will sound amazing! Thanks bro!

[martinpratchett]

Great lesson. People always ask to hear a song and I struggle on the spot. I’ll practice and remember these thanks!

Thanks for these songs - and simple way to track the chords & strumming. I liked 3 of the 5 songs - more of the oldies but goldies please! Thanks James - I've got a plan now!

[dakotahstr]

I look up a song, write them down in my song book and then add the chords. I find it helps when you literally write it down and sing along while your doing it.

Great lesson James, and excellent idea to have these "in your pocket". For another (and I know this might be a real oldie for some), how about 'King of the Road' by Roger Miller.

Thank’s again 🎸🎸
