dude out of all the tutorials i have found on youtube yours has got to be one of the best. You break it down and go step by step for the beginner to the advanced player. I picked it back up after 20+ year hiatus of playing. You rock good sir thank you

After 10 years break I finally found time and passion to learn everything again. After few days of trying to find adequate lessons I wanted to quit again, but than in the most desperate time I found YOU and I finally found that amazing feeling when you can play your favorite song. My fingers are in pain after several hours per day playing, but it definitely worth it. A THOUSAND THANKS TO YOU, you are amazing teacher and I hope you are also mentoring in your free time, it amazing feeling just to watch you how you enjoy the playing. I would really like to ask you to put one song in your repertoire - Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
