This has got to be one of the best tutorials I’ve heard - me as a layman…I finally get it. Thanks.

I 1st saw this lesson on a different site, it is nice to see this site has it too, as this video lesson, is the one that finally made things click for me, I mean it was as if the light bulb came on, I could play songs a little better than before it will still take some practice, but at least now I see the light either at the end of the tunnel or above my head, wherever its coming from it is on and so bright, I’m going to need shades, sorry I had to say it.

to the point, this is a video to bookmark, copy study learn, etc. and to the creator, you should market your training, DVD’s, books, etc. you have a skill that just helps us get it.

Thanks
Ken

Woah. This tutorial is fabulous, even better is that you didn’t explain how to play the chords. I’ve seen how C,F and G are played like twenty times.
