I remember watching this few months ago when I was just starting out with my guitar and I almost gave up because I couldn't change chords easily and it takes me a while to do it. Now watching this video again made me realize that it takes practice to improve in guitar and it's not impossible. It took me months by practicing everyday. I'm still a beginner but I was getting better at it and faster than I thought. Don't give up and practice at your own pace and remember have fun playing it.

Hi Nate, I have been trying to learn to play the guitar, (I would love to play in the clasical style, ) on my own.  I am 72 years of age and have been teaching myself to play the guitar for a couple of years now.  I should also say I am left handed.  Now I have had the chance to look at your free lessons, I have to say that I have found them to be very interesting and, in the main, easy to understand.  I have a couple of things I am not 100% shure about but these problems will come to me in time.  I cannot thank you enough for taking the time and putting in the effort to make these lessons happen.  They are the best present I could wish to have. I am very grateful to be able to find someone who does not try to make the learning harder than it needs to be.  John.

This kind of thing is so odd, how muscle memory just sets in eventually. When I first learned ukulele, the G chord was such a nuisance. Now I can change between chords with my eyes closed.

Who else got a guitar during this Covid19 Lockdown? Awesome lesson

[SilhouetteLifter]

a good song to practice the exact chords mentioned in this video is "Hotel Yorba" by the White Stripes. Its a simple song and the chord progression is G-C-D-G for the whole thing. cheers

I've seen so many tutorials on guitar and Mr. Savage definitely lives up to his name =P
This is by far the best instructional source for guitar on YouTube that I've encountered so far.
Thank you.

How the heck are you doing a G chord using your pinky? My fingers don't bend like that.

For awhile I skimmed through a lot of guitar channels, but I always ended up coming back here. You've got a really no BS approach to teaching that really works for me. No fluff, straight to the point, while still being entertaining.

Hello Nate I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, your videos are great help for me. I have learned a lot from your lessons on YouTube. You have a simple teaching method, in simple language, which every body could pick up easily. You have taught things which other guitar teachers generally miss out. Keep it up brother. Thank you ..
