Nice! Pick Me Pick Me … Haaaa (we allowed to say that?) … My Daughter and I are learning together … She saved up Her own money to buy a guitar … Not the Costco special … A little 3/4 Daisy Rock that She wanted. I like the simplicity of this video! Good Job!

I’ve just started trying to teach myself guitar in the last 2 weeks, and I discovered Marty on this website. Marty, I like your lessons by far the best because you are very clear in your instructions and repeat it just enough (I am one who has to pause and replay a lot if they don’t!). I love your lessons and signed up for the daily lessons you send to my email already. Thank you so much!!

Great lesson. You are clear and concise. I’m searching around for some free lessons to pick up guitar after playing ukulele for years. Keep it coming!

I know some basic chords and found the Bad Moon Rising clip very helpful. Wonder if I’m a bit old at 67 to be a beginner but I would like to be able to play for my own amusement.

Great! Simple way to learn. I am taking lessons and this is the same except you can review the lesson when you want, see someone play and have someone to play with. You can go back at any time to review the lesson. GREAT!
Thank you!
