Thanks Andy, you have a way of keeping things simple while adding the fiddly bits or alternative chord shapes for those who want a bit more of a challenge. Enjoy your content.😊

What a fun video! I've been learning for two months and a half, and I'm confident with some chords (D, A, E, Am, Em, Dm). I'm also learning C and G now. I'll add some of the songs you put here to my to-do-soon list (sweet home Alabama, Jolene, and the first cut is the deepest). Thanks for sharing, Andy.

Because of Andy guitar and another lady on yt named lauren Bateman are the two amazing people that have taught me all i know on guitar so far. Iv only been playing for around 8 months and have to say iv come a long way already. And its bc of the people like them who takes time from their days to show us who dont have hundreds of dollars to spend on music classes a chance to learn and shine. I have tremendous respect for the people on yt teaching others to learn and enjoy whatever it is their into. Mine obviously is music. So ya just want to say thank you to Andy.

I Guess "Werewolves of London" has the same chord progression as "Sweethome Alabama". I would like a Tutorial of "Werewolves of London" please Andy! I also liked that top 10.

Thanks, Andy. My favorite is Sweet Home Alabama, specially the riff. I miss doobie brothers "listen to the music", I think could be part of the list.

[freesk]

Sweet Home Alabama should always be played right after you play Southern Man by Neil Young! :)

[BearRamsey]

I have always performed Jolene in D minor F major and G major in standard tuning with no capo

Great song choices to have some fun for any player level. Can you do a video of Easy to play songs for John Cougar Mellencamp?

[ThePierrezx]

Your skill at guitar is very impressive 💪💪

[ryantelkamp]

Thanks for all the videos, I have had a blast learning through watching them! For a chord like D, I am confused how you're supposed to strum it. You're only supposed to strum the bottom 4 chords, but in the videos it sometimes seems like you strum the bottom 4, and sometimes it seems like you strum all 6. I know you have mentioned using your thumb to mute the string, but every time I try that it doesn't sound anywhere near the way it sounds when I strum 4. I guess I am looking for advice on playing chords like that in the proper strumming pattern you are teaching. Thanks!

When you played The Gambler, it reminded me of another 70s song, Kodachrome by Paul Simon.

[terrydaniels]

Cool Andy I like chords in sweet I just never done the lead riffs

[shiftylad]

I have a guitar but my fingers have no idea what I want them to do 🤷‍♂️

[anthonyamurri]

I was surprised that Tom Petty's Free Falling wasn't on this and then I realized that I am overly tired because that's a 1989 song LMFAO

[manueldelen]

I like it, meaby 3 chord songs with finger picking 😊 please
