    Thank you so much! I'm a super beginner even though I've owned a guitar for a decade now. Every time I tried to learn how to play it, my attempts lasted for a couple of weeks and each time ended up with with a feeling of complete uselessness. But after I watched your video I decided to pick my guitar again. And guess what... After 10 years of failed attempts I can finally play one popular song from start to finish. Now I gained optimism again and think that if I can master "Hotel California" than I can master other songs. Thank you so much! You are a great teacher! Wish you luck!

      Actually, you can. Hotel Cali is considered a legendary song to learn, so learning that essentially means you can learn any particular song given you have the time. I know that this reply is later than a stereotypical modern kid to curfew.

    Hi David, i really appreciate the way you present your lessons (explanation + side diagrams) and the way you combine the simplest versions possible with the most relevant portions, extracted from more advanced lessons, that we can find it outhere. Those 2, when combined create an amazing result only possible due your extensive know how and patience from your part. Its never a copy, its a creation of yours that you kindly share with us. Thanks very much once more.
