So great to see people enjoying this lesson. My wife and I have twins coming soon, so it may be a while longer before I can get more videos out. But I'm hoping to release my Guitar Crash Course in early 2015. Stay tuned!
This lesson ticks all the boxes for me. Well structured (black on white stands out on my little iPhone screen) and informative visuals, very detailed explanations of strumming patterns and timing, and perhaps the best tip I’ve not seen elsewhere; when to change chords mid measure! Your clear singing is actually really nice to listen to but most importantly, it teaches us precisely the chord/song changes. Well done!
Dude, let me tell you. I have been playing for over 20 years, and I was just lazy and didn't fee like figuring out the finger picking. I stumbled on this and realized it was just the strum, but I watched and you are so awesome. You are a great teacher and I wish I had you when I was starting out. Your advice on singing is the best. Peace and serenity be with you always. Thank you for putting this vibration into the world.
I don't even play the guitar, but I found this video looking for a strumming pattern for my ukelele. I wasn't planning to stay for the whole half an hour but when I saw how well explained it was I ended up doing the whole tutorial. I had never seen a song this well explained, and beside chords positions being different it applies perfectly to any stringed instrument. I'll definitely watch more tutorials of this channel :)
I teach guitar to groups too, probably we share a lot in our methods. When I watched this video, I can really see that you are an effective teacher, who went through all the trouble with the many students, and know how to avoid them by approaching the topics in a very structured way, to minimize the chance for brain overload of students. You talk about freedom and courage for singing, and you actually show it in the end as well! I clapped my hands for you in the end, because during this 31 minutes you earned my full appreciation. You are the teacher I would recommend to everybody!
Rob, This was sensational. I've looked at many lessons by people on here and I also purchased lessons from some of the people who have it to sell. You, however, stand out from the rest. The devil is in the details and you are detail oriented. You show the notes, how to strum, how to accent notes, how to sing, how to transition, when to hit the notes as the words are sung and so much more. It was a fact-filled 31 minutes! The others give a lesson but it's 1/3 the time you spend and therefor, 2/3's of what you give is never shared by the others. Please keep doing what you do. Make your name a household name. Nobody does it better than you. I appreciate the other teachers but you are the new benchmark for teaching.
Wow, Ray. I've gotten some nice comments on the two little videos I've put up, but this takes the cake. I know the lesson's long, and some folks have recommended I shorten them for the "TH-cam audience." It's good to hear that you appreciated the detail.
Many thanks. You explained all sides of the song very well and also sang very well and safely. Your lesson is one of the best, the simplest and at the same time very precise method that I found on the Internet and that helped me a lot to play the beautiful song on the guitar and to sing along. With God.
I found your site many years ago and then drifted away from guitar (I wasn't a very good player) and playing music generally (uke, mandolin). For some reason one of my kids (as in 40 yr old kid) borrowed one of my guitars at Christmas and that sparked a new interest. I came across your site after looking for a version of Let Her Go by Passenger after hearing his new album "Live in San Francisco". Since I last played guitar the quality and quantity of video lessons on the net has improved immensely. I found this lesson to be amazingly good, and I have committed to learning the song and playing along. Believe you me as a non natural muso it's a challenge.
I have been watching so many videos of different songs but this is the one that really made me learn the song fully.... Keep it up and lots of wishes for your upcoming childrens.
Best tutorial ever! Not only teaching the strumming pattern, but also giving a replacement for Bm, as well as showing us when to start/synch strumming with lyrics!! awesome tutorial!!!
I have been watching and learning guitar lessons on TH-cam for last two years.You are the only one who has taught me perfectly... Thank you so much this lesson...I look forward to learning other guitar lessons from you...
WOW! Great lesson. I learned guitar from TH-cam last year (well, I'm still learning really) and this is probably the most comprehensive and easy to follow lesson I've seen yet...even better than Marty's lesson...and I don't think I've EVER said that before. Great job, please keep it up!
This is the 1st channel that I found very good at both guitar and sing teaching, as it combined them together and provider both lyrics and chords , thanks for the great help ! :) ❤
GREAT lesson and I hope you continue with others songs in the great detail of this song. I think too many TH-cam lessons are too simplified for most beginners and only touch on chords and strumming as if it was a given and most don't need some type of coaching but we do, thanks again.
this is the best tutoring of all those i found online..thanks xxxx being learning for only one week, this is pretty cool for me.Brilliant methods for beginner like me.
I learnt this song with your video five years ago and I just found my old guitar in my basement. I loved your vid 5 years ago, I'm loving it right now because I need to re-learn everything :)
Great thank you a bunch. I was just starting to work on this song and your video popped in front of me at just the right time. This format you did is one of the best I've seen so far.
Hello, I love the way you teach!! You are really cool! I don't know how old you are, but I'm sure that I am older than you I turned 70 ty this year, and my health isn't good. I do plan to join. it will be a little while yet, in the meanwhile I will be working on this song, you have fired me up to do so. you are a sincere person & have a family too!! that's great! We have 2 boys and a girl, my oldest was born in 1970. I have really been blessed & am very thankful, I think your open personality & teaching is just what I needed! well back to my guitar.
Oh, thanks so much for these kind words. I'd love to have you as a member whenever it makes sense to you. If you get on my mailing list (by downloading my campfire singalong songbook on my website, for example), you'll hear when I'm running sales. Sorry to hear about your health. Hang in there!
This tutorial is by far the best one ever...!!! Very easy and helpful for beginners like me...You've made my interest in playing the guitar start once again ( I really sucked at the strumming and your tutorial helped a lot)... *Thanks*
This is so so great I really love the song and lesson it's self. It's so helpful and I have just strumming straight away. Keep it hot man. THANKS A LOT.
Great lesson. Probably one of the best I have seen here on you tube. One thing I have noticed across the board in the tutorial videos is that no one ever tells what speed or BPM to strum. We get an idea from listening but all songs are written to a certain BPM so as a beginner I would appreciate this information so I can have a goal slowly in creasing my speed till I get it correct. I practice strumming everyday with the metronome to increase my timing and rhythm so the correct BPM would be great to know. Thanks for the lesson.
Thanks for this suggestion. This song's at about 148 bpm. FYI, many metronomes (and metronome apps on smartphones) have a "tap tempo" tool that makes it super-easy to measure bpm. I use GuitarToolkit for its great tuner, and it also has a metronome with the tap tempo feature.
This was one of the best tutorial videos i've ever seen and I was able to learn the song and play along well after a few times which is surprising for me since I'm a slow learner
I really enjoy your video and it helps me a lot as a beginner to learn this song. I think the most different thing compared to other videos is that you teach us how to sing with the guitar instead of just teaching us how to play the guitar for this song. Really looking forward to your next video and thank you for your great work :)
Like every other beginner out there, I've checked out all the "tube tutor"s" and there are a few good one's. You are VERY good at showing how to put it all together. Thank you very much! I'm practicing twice a day with you and the song are nearly recognizable :)
Thank you so much, this lesson covers all details and very ez for beginners to understand. High quality video and good cut with lyrics, really really amazing, I thought you must spend at least 10 hours for this video. Thank you so much for you work, really appreciate it !
u turned me from a newbie into an expert lol just kd but your lesson is awesome, i wish i could perform this song well so whenever ppl ask me where did i learn how to play i i could recommend you to them. once again, u r awesome
wow im glad i found your channel. best tuto ive seen for this song. loved the singing tips in particular. when you are a beginner it is very hard to sync the strumming and the singing. good luck for your future videos . watching you rom france. thank you very much
So great to see people enjoying this lesson. My wife and I have twins coming soon, so it may be a while longer before I can get more videos out. But I'm hoping to release my Guitar Crash Course in early 2015. Stay tuned!
did the twins come out yet ? . wish your family goodluck in life . Can you make a tutorial of the song "christmas love" by justin ?
Hoping you will be back soon with more great lessons. It’s a shame not to share your great talent to spread the beauty of music!
I am a 56 year old twin. I look like my dad and my twin looks like The milk man. Lol

You have a great humble personality and the way you taught this lesson was perfect. So important in touching. Thank you.
Wow, thanks so much. So glad you liked it.
So many useful tips! What a great lesson. Thanks for putting it together.
Sure thing!
