I’m 68 and have been playing for around 30 years started as a project with my 14 year old son. I love how you dissect a song and simplify it. As we get older our hands don’t always move as smoothly as you used to. Thanks for your channel

Hi Kevin, I just came across your Hotel California lesson and I really enjoyed it.
I consider myself a senior (meaning 70 years old) beginner/intermediate.
I have subscribed to your channel because I like your choices of music, and also your teaching style. You have named your channel perfectly.
I look forward to checking out many more of your lessons.
Cheers.

Thank God for the internet.
Every single musician should see what lessons should be like. That "FM Radio Voice" doesn't hurt ears either.

Love your videos man. In my late 40s and never played an instrument in my life. Picked up guitar about a year ago and have gone through the various channels and learnings, but your style and pace just work so well for me. Really appreciate your dedication to helping others like myself learn and progress on guitar. Keep it up!

I struggle with bar cords, but there are alternatives. Don’t give up. Just play a different F cord.

[hvuwyye]

That was a great lesson. Slow - easy - clear. I’m 72 and started learning 10 years ago. Still learning how much I don’t know. That was so fun. Can’t wait to play it. Thank you

[jimkincaide]

I have played the guitar a little everyday since high school, I am now crowding sixty and haven’t really leaned anything new until I found your channel. I am having so much fun learning from you !
Thank you so much !
P.S. I love your style of teaching

[JeffBurton-hcgg]

Thank you, Thank you, you are the first teacher I have found that makes the intro look easy for those of us who are old enough to have bought the album when it first came out.

[HalfAssHomestead]

As a seasoned guitarist, I must say, I think you are giving some of the best beginner lessons I have ever watched. I'm a new sub just so that I can play along with you. You are doing a great justice to the music world. Thank you.

Loved this video. I've just started learning a couple of months ago, at 63yo, and this was the easiest lesson to follow. You Made it seem simple and it was. Especially the picking pattern. I'm still struggling with Barre chords. So the alternative F worked out great.
This is the first song I've managed to play the whole way through, as so far I've just been learning chords and progressions.. and just been putting little bits together.. I'll be checking out some of your other videos now. Thankyou

[kevinbrown]

I play electric (Les Paul Classic) now, but always keep that acoustic close by! Listen to Kevin! Also, check out Billy Strings to show just how far you can go, and beyond on acoustic! God Bless you, Kevin!

[gothamcitydoc]

Excellent instruction ! "We have a F chord and don't turn off the video here" LOL, hahahaha

[hakanariturk]

Finally!... an amazing lesson for beginner/intermediate guitarists like myself on this beautiful song... many thanks. Loved it.
