Something in the way he tutors. Attracts me like no other teacher. Something in the way...he strums his guitar. I don't want no other tutor. He makes it easy somehow.

Ok Bro Mike .. I always wanted to play guitar and now i am sneaking up to 67 years young... I am thanking God that i can play this song and now i am going to buy a geetar for myself.. I am so exited that i can play this song and thats dope like my 25 year old Jesse would say ... I am a late bloomer in life... Retired secondary school and i am presently studying to be a Spirit filled Pastor... You my friend are an excellent teacher... God bless you and your family and keep you safe. Brother Tom from Dundas, Ontario..

I'm subscribing to you because you are an excellent teacher. I am an absolute beginner at all this and I watched a lot of tutorials only to be utterly frustrated by the end, all because most of them teach like as if all their students are already well versed with the guitar. It felt like an absolute beginner like me has no place for their tutorials and I truly felt left out from it which frustrated me to no end. But you on the other hand is the only one who taught me the BEST WAY for a beginner to learn the guitar. You don't know how absolutely happy I was when I finally learned a song I could actually play on the guitar. Thank you so much!

@@MPfrance I think this kind of lesson is perfect for beginners because in my experience being able to play a recognisable song early on, albeit very simple, encourages and motivates learners better than anything else. Learning from scratch and learning your scales from a book is great but playing a song after two days imbues a feeling of accomplishment that is highly gratifying.

I have been a follower and a fan of yours for many years now and I just want you to know how much I enjoy watching your videos. The funny thing about it is I cannot play a chord on guitar. You inspire me to want to learn how to play. In my mind I believe I would hold the guitar the way Paul McCartney would hold it. I believe this because whenever I would play air guitar I would play the way Jimi Hendrix and Paul McCartney would play. I have never taken a formal lesson. I am a self-taught drummer with very limited skill. When I watch your instructional videos I feel like I'm in your studio and you're talking to me. You seem to be one of the nicest people on KZfaq and one of the most sincere. I did not know that you were friends with Phil Keaggy and you did an album together! Phil Keaggy is also a Beatles fanatic! I got to see Phil Keaggy when I lived in South Florida in a small Church concert venue. I just want you to know that I am a big fan of your KZfaq channel Mike. I wish you and your family all the best for health and happiness and prosperity and I will continue to watch because I love the material that you present! One day I will buy a guitar and I will learn a few Beatles songs to play to my grandchildren none yet however! Best regards John

Hi! Mike, I´m glad I stumbled on your channel specially this particular Beatles song. I was just looking for easy guitar tutorial lessons for Beatles songs in particular (I´m a big fan) and your way of teaching & showing the simple & easy yet effective chords for the song has inspired & motivates me to learn to play my NEW guitar which was given to me as a Birthday present a year ago & I haven´t played it since I last open its case on my Bday! It was a ¨miss the hint¨ kind of present coz I would have wanted a piano keyboard instead. I wasn´t keen on playing the guitar, YET. I played a ukulele though. And ironically, all my three bros played guitar well & one of my sister. So, I supposed I just have to make an effort to master some crowd pleaser songs👏as I´m just a newbie!😊Thanks Mike for sharing your excellent simplicity of guitar tutorial lessons. You really encourages me to start playing & practicing my NEW guitar! I shall give you an update on how I getting on. Thanks once again❣🙏
