Thanks. Since I've been playing guitar since 1965, I wouldn't call myself a beginner but I do like watching these types of offerings. I think one thing you should have mentioned is that there are 1000s, maybe 10s of thousands, of famous songs that use only 3 or 4 chords, usually I IV V, sometimes with a vi (minor). I'm in no way throwing shade on you video, but I do think that realization is important. That aside, such videos are great confidence builders for novice guitarists. Keep up the good work, mi amigo.
These beginner videos are BRILIANNT! I am blind, so value your detailed descriptions! My new go-to playlists for my guitar chill and learn times! Keep it up, making more!
Hey, thanks so much for your comment. That is awesome to hear, thank you! That means a lot that you took the time to let me know that. I really appreciate you checking out the videos and I'm glad to hear that you're putting them to good use!
Ive been teaching myself for a year now. I chose songs which i knew lyrically and could work toward the rythym and then add finger picking. So I have those plus i add new ones to challenge and grow my skills while also adding Theory and using patterns to find all the notes on the fretboard. My first four gotos are: 1) Against the Wind - Bob Seger 2) Save Tonight - Buckeye Cherry 3) Let it Be - Beatles 4) Come On Get Higher - Matt Nathanson
Hi, I have to say, after ten plus years of watching guitar tutorial videos, yours has to be one of the best I have come across, so relaxed and to the point, thank you so much.
Hey James, thank you so much for the comment, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for taking the time to reach out, that means a lot. If there is anything specific you'd like to see in future lesson videos like this, let me know! I'm always asking what people want to see!
Hello, You are doing great as a teacher, but let me give you one advice. It is going to be very helpful to perform part of the song before start explaining how to play.
@@jameslifetimelearnernope, as it’s educational content, and I’m not using any extracts from the actual songs (because I’m playing them) it’s covered under a fair use policy. Educational materials are fair use when it comes to copyright, this is TH-cam’s rule. If I used segments of the actual recordings then it would cause a copyright issue
@@LeighFugeGuitar I found it locally on FB marketplace for £40, it's a Freshman brand purple maple ridge colour/design, has a folk shape body with a cutaway. From what I could find out through searching the net they are around the £300 area brand new, this one pretty much is. It looks barely touched or at least well looked after. Came with a bag, strap, couple of picks, 2 capos and a cable so it was a pretty good deal!
2 out of 4 is 50%... all gd... please keepem commin mate... we are all with you... 1 n 4... if wondering... bit of singing b gd... and don't worry you b better than most of us... 😂
Nice tutorial of beautiful classical songs. But had you sung along with Chords displayed under the lyrics on the Screen it would have been much better and easier to understand and follow..!! Without the song being sung what we have to do with just strumming 😢😮..?!?!?!
Unfortunately you won’t be getting any singing on this channel anytime soon 😂 I also don’t publish any lyrics to avoid any copyright issues. You have to be careful with stuff like that or TH-cam can get your videos demonetised
Good beginner lessons! Have you got anything for more advanced players who can follow you in real time, sans explaining? Kinda like you do at the end of each example, where you play while the chord is shown? I’m asking for myself, heehee. That’s because I play by ear well enough to catch ( and play) most everything on a recording before it’s done. But! I might interpolate it wrong with a wrong improvisation. Like the “add,” “aug,” etc chord embellishments. Regardless, you’re doing something really good!
I’m making chord flash cards and put together the ones I need to play the song. Not original but very helpful. I’m old as dirt so this is a memory strategy. Thank you. I enjoy your lessons.
Flash cards are a great way to help remember things! I've used that when teaching people in the past! If it works, keep doing it! Check out chordpic.com, you can make chord diagrams for any chord you want, that might be useful for creating some cards. Glad you enjoy the lessons, that means a lot
Play a standard Em at the second fret. The D6th is then played using the bass strings, by dropping the second finger to the G string for the A note. The F sharp is played with the pinkie on the D string at the fourth fret. Sounds just like the original. A second guitar could play it the way shown in the video as it's the same notes.

I just subscribed , but agree with other comment , play a bit of the song before or after instruction
Omg best song. From America ❤
That tattoo looks so awesome
Thanks man! It’s nearly finished now! Few more sessions and it’s all done! It’s been a painful 5 months 😂
What songs ?
Please put the chord diagram in a corner. This is a great lesson but that would be perfect
There are chord diagrams in the corner when I’m explaining the songs

I don’t think those are the correct chords for Horse with no name? It doesn’t sound right?
wrong chords yep
No it doesn’t was thinking the same thing
Em Em D6/9 D6/9 x2
Play a standard Em at the second fret. The D6th is then played using the bass strings, by dropping the second finger to the G string for the A note. The F sharp is played with the pinkie on the D string at the fourth fret. Sounds just like the original. A second guitar could play it the way shown in the video as it's the same notes.
He's showing how to play simply in first position.still, sounds good.
I like the song from the dead puke from the Beatles.
There are 2 dead pukes from the Beatles.
Horse with no name ! Aren’t you listening
If you open to a piece of advice, play the song first before you explain what the chords are.
Horse With No Name is played incorrectly. This guy doesn't even know how to play a two chord song!
Yeah this guy sucks.
@@LeighFugeGuitar yeah… Who does he think he is?!
Didn’t know that there is only one way to play a song
Nice rundown of A Horse With No Name.
Too bad it's such a stupid song. 😁
Agree, it's just too inane to bother learning
It's American symbolism of its time and very enigmatic.
TheTHUMB should Always be BEHIND the Fretboard..Amateur
The thumb can be wherever anyone wants it to be 👍
Guess you saw Stevie Ray Vaughn play
Nope
Sometimes you have to know when to shut up. His constant talking when he should be demonstrating is too much
Yeah, I agree. I hate it when people explain things in proper detail. I just prefer vague videos that make learning difficult.
Bila bla bla....
