    I've been around on TH-cam to get guitar lessons… most are just "See how good I am - show Of".
    You are down to earth and give our newcomer the hope that learning how to play guitar can be a good thing. Thank you. Lasse from Denmark

    Having played guitar for 53 years with the usual six string chords a a folk singer/church worship leader, I never understood power chords. In ten minutes you have explained it all brilliantly. Well done! PS. My music theory is very good which I suppose helps a lot.

    • @cookdislander4372

      After 53 years you'd think you'd just pick them up and naturally learn them yourself without been shown? Lol

    I knew all this... but you made it much more clear to me.
    You have the Special Power of Clear Explination.
    A big part is that you could have said and done more but did not. You did what you came for and said, "Now go have some fun with it."
