Kevin makes the best of rock and some country easy to play (and finally for me) build an instant fantastic “Play Me Something “ song set!

Kevin, thank you. Recently decided to try guitar at age 72 and have you to be much more helpful than other on-line folk

Kevin and Vicky I really enjoyed this. Never thought I would ever come close to playing something like this.

I learnt this song from you, many thanks to you and your dog! 😊

Wow! I’m an old retired guy who decided to get a guitar and give it a go. Been noodling around a bit trying to learn the basic cowboy chords and get my fingers to move between them quickly and accurately enough to enjoy playing a couple tunes for myself. It’s been pretty tough getting these old digits in the right places with this old foggy brain controlling them. It’s been bout 12 months now of very slow progress. But you really made my day with this video. I think I’m finally starting to get something going thanks to you! Thanks so much!👍👍👍

Awesome lesson -- a bunch of good instructors on Youtube tend to add in stuff and they forget new learners don't know what they are doing (you explain all) -- I am a late learner (54+) and this hobby is so fun -- I struggle but still enjoy the journey. Keep Doing these great videos!!!! My only regret is not playing instruments earlier in life
