We must protect him at all cost .

God Bless your Grandchildren Morrison, I can understand what you are feeling by not seeing them. I have three that I haven't seen for eight months. Be kind to your wife, she can't help it that you aren't aging and she is.. hahaha

I’m really encouraged by the fact that you can play with small hands. That fretboard on your guitar looks huge!

What a lovely man you are Morrison, thank you for that you have helped me overcome that damned F chord.

Because, people can tell when something is being done with your heart over your head.

Clicked faster than Van Halen shredding, love your videos, you’re like a grandfather to me sir 😅 your videos are amazing

Pushing 3,000 subscribers. Way to go, Morrison! Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration.

I am so glad I found this channel! Came for the guitar help, but I love the stories and the hilarious comedy skits. If anyone reads this, do yourself a favor and check out his "Off Their Rockers" and his other comedy videos. What an extraordinary person.

Benny and Carter! They are probably so excited to see this! You’re amazing

Randomly, KZfaq recommend this video to me. I am so happy i found such a lovely and caring granpa. I laugh and cried of happiness for 17 minutes straight. Have a nice Day mr.Morrison!

Hi Morrison! I thought it would be very helpful if you showed us how you do your bar chords and those chords that ask to really stretch your fingers just to get to them. If we can see how you do those hopefully we can mimic it and see if it helps! A lot of people will say how but won't actually show someone with small hands doing these.

You’re beautiful, Morrison! Love you brother! Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us! Mark in Oregon.

You encourage me so much, not only with guitar playing, but with the wisdom you have of life, God bless my friend... 👍🏻😊

I'll be spending the rest of my evening, watching your videos!! Thank you so very much! You are a wonderful storyteller!

Can I just say that you are a massive inspiration for not only me, but every single person watching your videos. Keep the videos coming and hope you stay well and see your grandchildren soon😃

Hi morrison -benny-alexander-freddy-carter .greetings from belgium .

Not even here for the guitar stuff anymore, just here to hear this guys awesome stories!

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 Freddie , Carter , Alexander, Benny and of course to you too Morrison ! We the people love your videos and appreciate you sharing your talents k life stories and experiences with us , you are a legend my friend!

Very nice video Morrison....

You are making my day so much better. You are so lovely and kind man and everyone can tell that you are putting whole heart into your video's and thats really the best thing in world

Great videos ! In Canada we have a show called "Just For Laughs Gags" which is like the skits you perform in. I'm 57 and still do amateur stand up comedy !

You seem like such a lovely person, and a great granddad!

I accidentally stumbled upon your channel and i absolutely love your content! As a person with very short fingers you really are encouraging me to persevere. It is really difficult but seeing you play gave me back hope and ambition. I hope this whole pandemic will soon come to an end and you will be able to see your grandchildren in the near future. Best wishes. 😊

its nice to see some good channels recommended to me

Wonderful job! Its like a lovely visit with a very dear friend. My hands are only slightly larger than yours, and I've played guitar since elementary school...A bit of guitar advice for like minded people. The Fender and squire "modern C neck " is VERY comfortable 👌 another thin neck is the Les Paul "60s style" slim neck. I adore my Gretsch electromatics tone but it does requires a more creative approach for reach. On an F cord, I bar only the 1st and 2nd strings ( high E and D) then add in the remaining strings. Hope this helps, ✌💕🙏

Hope you can see your UK grandchildren now! Best wishes x

You're a great teacher for guitar and life, its encouriging to listen to, your stories are wonderfull, it feels like im listening to an old disney movie, every time you talk about your past its so interesting, your warm and soft voice put to rest my bizzy head after work or school, you have a heart of gold💛 I hope you can make more videos😇🙇‍♂️ I just wanted to say these things Have a great day sir Morrison

Thank You Grandpa, Your Grandson from India ❤❤❤

I don’t personally know you but it’s a privilege to watch a person like your self thanks very much for your life story’s and your lessons

As a part of the long finger tribe, much respect

thank you for uploading, always makes me happy :)

I hope you get to see your grandchildren again soon and give them a big hug X

Excellent stuff.

Morrison man, I love your content, and your humour had me in stiches, if I could fingerpick id'v picked longer ones 🤣🤣🤣 I lost it. I'm 73+ years young-old depending on people's views, I tend to think towards the young side😊 I started to play guitar about a year ago, I have relatively short stubby fingers, it's certainly problematic! For me I think it's finding the right guitar I've had two both parlour 12 fret to the bout, one 43mm the other 45mm I've stuck with them for six months each, I just can't in the first possion play chords like C-B etc without the backs of my other fingers muting other strings, in my case I think it's more to do with string spacing I'm now thinking 1"/3/4 at the nut, shallow C shape or V fretboard. I know we slightly older short stubby fingered players can overcome many of the problems, but I think getting the guitar right would make things a lot easier. I hope you and your extended family are keeping well, all the best for the new year, subscribed. 👍 Forgot to add, i've tried the thumb lower on the back of the fretboard thing and bringing the elbow forward, it can get very frustrating at times, but I'll never give up😊 you take care.

literally skipping my school works just to watch your videos, and im not regretting it ❤️ tysm u really encourage me to play my guitar again

really nice to hear about your past, i am sure your mother is super proud looking down to see you helping thousands of people on here ☺️

You are a very wise and respectable man, keep up the great work and thank you for your kind teachings :D

You're so sweet I just wanna hug you agahagahaga

Have a great day, thank you for made me smile ❤️🎸

One of my favorite guitar channels I have small hands a I play thanks for the great videos 😎

Thank you for this video, I loved hearing a few stories from your past! I can tell you have an amazing passion for music! 😁 From a fellow guitarist with small fingers! I hope you’re keeping well during this lock down!

3k subscribers!!! im rooting for you :)

Love the videos mate; from Australia

Thank you.

Yea man. Just a top bloke playing some top guitar

Please do an episode about your life! im extremely interested in the amount of stories you have and could share possibly one day!

I enjoy this video so much. I dont know why but I want to cry.

Once again good job. I just had to click n watch. :)

Thank You Morrison! awesome Video!!!

Love you Morrison!

I have short hands I have learned to play somehow, it has been 3 years now I wish I would have seen your videos back then would have helped me a lot :D

I love your videos so much I’m so glad I stumbled upon you today. There’s just something about you it’s just so nice to watch and listen. Please keep making these videos they’re so great and helpful. I know it might seem like people only cared about the first one, but that’s just the way youtube works. A lot of us are still interested and here to stay!

I just wanna say that you'r adorable young man 😍

Stubby sausage finger man here. I've been playing for about 35 years, so I'm a bit beyond needing your advice. I will never be beyond your enthusiasm and positivity. It's the only infectious thing I'm happy about these days. I appreciate you sending that out into the world. Seeds to take root I hope. Cheers!

You sir deserve all great things that come your way! You are Class act and I enjoy and learn from all videos you have put out. Your a great player and teacher. God Bless you and yours, keep the videos coming! 🎸 🙏✌

You are amazing, may God bless you!!

I had all but given up on guitar...even after I had saved forever for my small neck, Daisy Rock brand one. I am trying again, thanks to you.

Greetings from Slovakia! I accidentally saw your channel and I really liked you. I never had a grandfather, since they all died before my birth, but if I had a grandfather, then I would like him to be like you. Your videos are great to watch. I wish all the best to you and your loved ones! Do not be ill! I will definitely subscribe to your channel.

Good info man, new subscriber here🤘🏼

I love u mr Morrison

Thank you for your lovely videos 🥰. They are really encouraging and heart warming! I am recently struggling to play the higher notes above the 12th fret, especially on the 6th string where my pinky can't reach properly without hurting my thumb. Would appreciate if there is any technique that might help. Thank you! 😊

I'm 5'11 my grandfather and my mother were 4'11 and I inherited their hands. I play guitar and was able to make it work. But, people don't understand the struggle to play everything with smaller hands. I feel ya. Gibson Les Paul guitars work for me. But Fender Strat, my favorite because of the tone has frets that are to big. But oh well.

you've got something in common with "thelivingroombusker"

If the world was full of people like yourself, what a wonderful place it would be!I'm sorry to hear you are missing your grandchildren so much,life is very cruel at the moment.I have only seen my Mum once ot twice for over a year now,and it breaks my heart.But we must make the best of things,at least we have mobile phones and Facetime these days!Let's hope things change for the better soon!Take care my friend and stay safe!All the best to you and your loved ones!

Hi grandpa! U havent uploaded in a while I really miss you and im so concerned I hope u are well Pls keep uploading videos

Hi! I also have short fingers and it has been an obstacle when trying to play the guitar, but seeing your videos have inspired me and they have cheered me up a lot! One question though, could you also be my grandfather?

Amazon my fingers are kinda long and I struggle I hope to see another video soon

Rip😩

I gave up, too frustrating

My fingers are sore, and it's your fault! I am quite happy, but can't press hard enough yet to sound some of the chords correctly because of the soreness. But I am going to do it! 😁

Morrison you are a national treasure! Any hints on muting the low E with your Thumb (apologies if you have covered this in your other Videos). Only found your Channel.

Dear Mr Morrison, my fingers have gotten tough over the last two months. But my pinky finger is very crooked, curving inwards towards the ring finger. This makes it very difficult to get to the fourth fret.

Oh I would had love to see your mother's and gramps show I'm it was lovely. Btw I was wondering, if I may ask, what would your hight be? Just trying to imagine you sir next to that tank friend of yours :)

Have you tried to adapt a guitar?

Can you please be my grandpa.

Why would anyone question your use of a glove to demonstrate the length of your fingers? I don’t think you were performing a magicians trick! In the other video, you did mention the length of your middle finger. There is no doubt about it, your fingers are short! If in doubt, the naysayers can use a measuring tape and check the length of their own fingers. I checked mine, but only because I have trouble stretching, and thought it was my small hands, but I know now, I have NO excuse.

Hi Morrison Dowap here again, as always thanks for the great video - I never thought about playing the e cord that way but I may give it a go once in a while. I told ya previous I was 74 and just having fun with the qutiar (and learning). I am working on a few scales now. Question for ya, can you read sheet music - I cant and honestly not really interested and my age . I also wanted to share a web site with you and the followers that has a lot of songs and cords ( Its a good place to start for beginners - like myself) www.classic-country-song-lyrics.com/ . Anyway good day to ya . John

Useful tips for anyone trying on a classical guitar too - wide fretboard yikes lol
