Hi Ian, Yann…whatever…
I love your website. I just discovered it as I found one of your tutorial on youtube and spent I guess about 2 hours and planning to come back again and again!
I have a website that doesn’t haev a looot of visitors bur I will for sure create a coupon for free guitar lessons redirecting to your website!
Thanks for what you offer! Really!!!!!
I guess it’s not for beginners but I hope you will put some Mumford and sons tutorials one day!
Cheers,
Aurelie

Gordon March 29, 2013 at 10:42 am

GREAT job! Nice instruction!! I especially like the way you go over and demonstrate the strumming patterns to each song you do (muteing the strings and showing the “down up down” patterns. Frankly, I find the strumming a bit more difficult than the chord formations–I’m an old dog trying to leanr new tricks that should have been shown him many years ago. Keep up the great work. Pats on the back and many kudos to you.

Gemma April 4, 2013 at 9:52 pm

Hi,
First of all, just want to say thanks for all the videos you’ve helped me loads and I appreciate the time and effort you have put in. I have 2 requests and the first one is called ‘Wherever you will go’ by Charlene Soraia. The second one is called ‘Just give me a reason’ by Pink. Thanks
