I wanted to thank you. I played guitar as a kid and teenager. When I was 15 I became pregnant with a little miracle, and had no choice but to sell all 6 of my guitars to be able to provide for her. My wonderful husband decided to surprise me with two new beautiful guitars this evening. When I picked it up, I realized I have to relearn almost everything I had known. I've been watching your videos for a few hours now and you've got me on the right track! Thank you so much. Subscribed and hope to see more videos in the future.
God bless you and your family 💕

Hey Matt, Seen some comments where people wasn't fond of your devotional at the end i was busy messing with the guitar and missed most of it. But stopped and played it back, it was a great message for me to hear today! Thanks, it made others displeased just know it was nice for me to hear and i completely support it. Thanks again

I stumbled across this video after picking up my guitar after several months of ignoring it, and your devotional brought me to tears. I needed to hear those words today, thank you. God bless you.

I've been struggling with understanding how to strum. This made a lot of sense and I really like the devotional at the end. Believe it or not I just played my first song after watching this video. Thank the Lord for you and your ministry. I have only tried playing for about two months and I'm loving it. This gets me out from in front of the TV and in touch with the spirit in my walk with the Lord.

This is an oldie but a goodie for strumming the bar chords are up my alley

Hey Matt, I just got a guitar a week ago and happened to stumble across your videos this evening. I did enjoy your video but I'm not quite advanced to the point of incorporating this lesson. I just wanted to post a message to tell you how great I thought the short devotion was. That is a great point and I'm glad that you are honoring God by doing that on the videos. Don't let the negative comments get you down. Remember, He said they hated Him Check out 1 Peter 4:10, and keep up the good work!

Matt you are such a great teacher. I'm 48 and purchase an acoustic guitar 10 years ago and never learned to play. I've watched a few of you videos on the 1st 4 chords and strumming techniques and it is really working. thanks again for your help and the devotionals are a plus.

Hey matt ivv been watching your tutorias to learn some songs, and just finish watching this one and what u said in your devotional remind me of something, story made short, , i learn guitar at 43 well was learning my self and a spanish leader was teaching music teory so i went and after the lessons i would stay to see them practice, so one day he ask me to get up there and practice with them, but i told them i didnt wanted to play, just wanted to learn for me, , but thats how i started in the spanish worship team, so later the spanish group stop fir a minute, that was around 2011, 2012, so one of our pastors ask if we wanted to sign up for the inglish team we could, but i wast sure, this is what u made me remember, he said to me john will use you, , if you have 50 % he will use those 50%, so made me confident and i ask, after he saw me playing he said yea i ll give you songs to practice and will call you, but, , didnt, thats was ok i was serving as an usher too so ok, but he left after a few months, another w pastor came, he wa here before, so one day i sai to him, i dont know why im saying this but, what is it take to joying ur worship team, he said come to my office and will chek it out, ok, so i went, and sorprise after a week they put me on the list, its been about 6 o 7 months now, him and the team are so humble, the first time that i play, it was with his wife leading, i was so nerviuse, so with this new pastor i feel that God is using what i have :) and im still learning, ,

Awesome I'm a missionary out here in Urugauy for 6 months and found some time to learn the guitar strings are pretty easy but rhythm is what I'm having trouble with. What's awesome is that this is the first and most helpful video that came up and your Christian also so praise God!! Stay strong

I like what you said " Take what you have, where you are and do what you can". So encouraging.
