A few viewers found a chord diagram error in this video yesterday. I've fixed the diagram and re-published this one. Thanks for your help! Enjoy!

I've played guitar for 50 years. This lesson is the most lucid and accessible guitar instruction that I have ever experienced. Well done Chris. It should get 1m views hopefully.

I started with Marty and found your channel through him, and it’s been such a journey diving deeper into music theory over the years. You’re an incredible teacher! I wish I could afford your lessons, but hopefully, one day I will. You really help musicians learn valuable skills for life, unlike other channels that just show off their legato.

I believe the highest form of respect is changing someone's way of thinking, and you’ve definitely changed mine. This video offered more technique than many I’ve seen as a self-taught musician. I recently hit a roadblock due to my ADHD, which made it hard to concentrate, but I’m excited to be picking things back up now.

Thank you so much for your guidance! I truly hope to find someone like you to inspire me to become a teacher someday too. You have a real gift!

Wow! I'd never heard of shell chords before. They sound so cool! I'll be using them in future. Thanks Chris. Fantastic lesson!

Great video! I love this channel. This one really made a few connections for me, especially with the triads section.

This is like showing a pencil artist the colour palette of a painter. Chris, you are one of the best guitar teachers out there. Thanks a lot.

Fantastic primer. I guarantee you there’s something in here that will light up a bulb in your head, no matter how far along in your guitar journey you are.
