"I must warn you though, if you do use percussion on your acoustic guitar there is a danger that you might seriously impress the people that are listening" Hah! Love it. great videos man.

Lesson actually starts at 05:08 - just a short link for your pleasure :)

Hey Gareth! since it's the Teacher's Day here in India (september 5th), I thought maybe I should thank you for uploading such great videos for people like me to learn to play the guitar. Thank you for you efforts! You teach it real good!

I have been trying to figure out how to do this correctly for a while now. Thanks to you I can now do it. I can't thank you more. Actually I can thank you more. I will be sending you some $$ for the winter solstice holiday. You are a big reason my guitar playing has improved lately. Thanks again, so much!

I'm usually too impatient to listen to guitar tutorials on youtube because they involve way too much talking but little practicing.. but you made a perfect tutorial which makes me concentrate and eager to follow it to the end. Thank you so much!

I love the explanation with the pivoting middle finger -- after dozens of other videos, I finally understand how slapping works. Thanks man!

I've been struggling to learn percussive technique for a long time. This lesson is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

I subscribed to your channel years ago whenI first started playing, and came across your thumb slapping technique.I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your talent with me man. You’ve inspired Garett, and I am sure there are others you have inspired as well. God bless you brother. Keep creating,

whoa. This is like super great lesson. Extremely well organized and executed. I'm an advanced beginner, following lot of YT instructors, and this is one of the best efforts. Thank you.

You deserve more subscribers!!! You share lessons and teaches guitar in a very systematic way and most of all, lessons are free. Wish you luck man

I know its been years since this has been posted but thank you for keeping it up! I just finished part 1 and will practice a bit more before moving onto part 2. I love this style of playing and I can actually understand your explanations which is amazing! lol. I look forward to learning more - thank you!! :)

A BIG thank you for sharing this video with folks like me who are after 40s and just try to learn how to play guitar. Your explanation is at a nice pace and more importantly clear. That makes learning enjoyable and so easy to follow through the exercises.

Totally great lesson. Thas exactly what I needed. Thank You from the bottom of my heart !

Thank you so much for your lessons, I keep learning every day that's a real pleasure thanks for that !

I have trouble plucking notes while slapping

great lesson man! Been playing guitar for amost 14 years and ive just now started trying to get this technique down. best lesson on this ive seen so far on youtube. Thank you for the help man

I love that your inlays show up in that intro. That effect looks really cool to me.

This is some really good stuff, well thought out lesson. Thanks a bunch Gareth!

one of the best lessons I've seen on KZfaq. Five stars.

Gareth, love your lessons. They are truly inspiring. I decided that sitting round playing the PlayStation is not a productive use of my spare time, so I sold it on Friday, bought a new guitar yesterday, and am now determined to work through your tutorials (half way through Wonderful Tonight, and its going well). My new found love of the guitar is down to you and your vids, so thank you so much.

I've tried a few lessons, but this is the first time I got somewhere with it. Subscribed!

rock on dude, i usually have to force myself to endure u-toob lessons, but yours are to the point. u speak clearly, dont repeat urself, multiple windows to allow visual comparison, and u keep the info u teach in order, instead of bouncing around confusingly. keep it up bro, i am impressed and relieved with your sharing of knowledge. Thank You! may your generosity find its way back to u, and may ur students never forget their teachings. best of luck to u friend

Thank you ... you are a fantastic teacher and all this for three very much appreciated💕

Seeing your videos gives me nostalgia ❤️

great lesson! thank you

You are a phenominal guitarist and I really appreciate you doing these technique tutorials for some of the newer guitarists to get up to speed. I personally didn't need this video, but it's always good to learn new exercises. However, watching this video made me think of getting back down to the basic roots of guitar. I was thinking (just a thoughtful suggestion), maybe you could start talking a little more about music theory in future videos? Not neccessarily half hour lectures on the subject.. but more like a scale of the day kind of series at the end of each video? Or maybe talk a little more about chord structure? I'm not sure if you read all of these comments, but it was just a little for thought. Thank You, Gareth!

Hi Gareth you know i have been waiting for this good lesson cheers malc

You're doing good work. Thank you.

Thanks this is a very good lesson

That intro was one of the coolest things ive ever seen
