I'm a beginner guitarist and I've been having difficulty with playing the guitar... You've just changed the way I play the guitar. Nice! 👍☺️

Thanks! Your video was genuinely useful. Having the sidebar showing which strings were being plucked when is a great idea. It really helped me to follow what you were talking about and playing.

[gingeoram]

Thank you.. that was very clearly demonstrated and explained.

Great stuff, as usual. I've never been able to get my head around playing finger-style...but I'll happily try this lesson to see if it helps. Thank you!
