You are such a positive influence in the music community and I'm sure you have inspired many people to start playing guitar and music in general. You definitely inspired me to start playing guitar. We truly need more people like you in the world. Thank you so much for your continued hard work and God bless!

Those in the audience who are too young to remember, the song is a soulful recount of “The Troubles” where Northern Ireland tore itself apart in a civil war that lasted from 1914-1997. Thousands were killed for political and religious fighting. The late Dolores O'Riordan sang it perfectly. The world lost a gem when she died in 2018.

i am on day 2 with a Gretsch guitar - never played a day in my life. I have been searching YouTube for the most BEGINNER guitar info and help and BY FAR you have helped me have FUN, which is better than learning anything early on. If its not fun, you won't stick with it. Thanks to you and Paul Davids for your amazing talent and helpful info.

Got a guitar for Christmas and haven’t touched it since, because with every tutorial I had watched I could never do something right. However, your tutorials have helped a lot! The most easiest I’ve ever learned something! Everytime i go to touch my guitar i immediately come to your page for these videos! Your careful guidance is really making me motivated:)

This is another delight to break up my practice time of learning basic skills. I had to take almost a week off for a backpacking trip. Truth be known, I had a little anxiety about being away from my guitar, after just beginning. I started to work with this song after my last formal lesson, and it loomed in my head over the many miles my friend and I trekked. As a side note, my friend had been in a band for years, and after awhile, put his guitar down. Prior to our trip, I told him about taking lessons/ laughing about my finger tips aching in the beginning etc. When we began our trip, he told me he dusted off his guitar and began playing again after hearing me talk about taking lessons. During the trip, we ran into some foul weather, and kinda confessed to one another what we looked forward to when we got home (hot shower, warm & unhealthy food, sleep), but we both agreed on playing guitar. We spoke a lot about playing during meals, mostly me listening to his journey. I did tell him about your videos and how they showed me I could do this. My friend said he began playing again, because he was impressed with my desire to learn. So, that same energy brought another soul back to playing and continuing this journey. You’re touching a lot of people. If I can do this at 56 and my friend can pick his guitar back up (he’s in his mid 50s too) so can others! Praise God for your wonderful gift… Please keep sharing it!

I am about 2 and a half years into playing. I've been practising pretty well everyday for about 2 hours.Barre chords etc are ok; not perfect but ok. I had hit a bit of a wall and was getting bored as I couldn't find anything to inspire me.
Your videos have done that!!
Your strumming tutorials are the best I have seen. Thankyou 🙏

[LitchfieldParkFamily]

Wow this song brings me back! Love it! 💯🎶🎸
