You are literally the best teacher anyone could imagine about i learned my first song because of you thank you a million times

D-DU-DU-DU D-U-U-U-DU *so I remember to write. It down

You just taught me my first song, so thank you

Dude you're a life saver, every beginner song I found had 8 CHORDS

I’m 45 and brand new. I went to the other vids first, 6&10 million views. Both had me ready to quit in minutes. Then I found this, and I’m already improving. More importantly, I’m enjoying the guitar. This vid should have way more views, maybe a new title? Thank you for the lesson!

I started at 8:30 it is now 11:00 and I have been playing this song for 2 hours good night Ps: you are great teacher

I was a ballerina for 10 years and it was harder to play the guitar and get every single finger right on point than it was to be on pointe. Respect.

Thank Youuuuuuuu I got it!!!! I'm just learning and I learned the Em chord A,D,and you made it so easy to follow you. You took your time to show the finger placement which is a Tremendous Help when you have beginners. The strum pattern was easy to follow you going slowly the way that you did. I will be practicing this lesson over and over till I can change chords with ease. Thank you for not having a bunch of distraction behind or around you,the best thing is that you only focus on your playing and finger placement,oh and also helpful is you tell us the number of the string too totally helpful!!!👍🤗😀

Ahhh thanks this is exactly what I was looking for a simple song and easy to play! First song that i learned hahaha

Thank you. I was crying because I thought I’d never be able to do 1 song! I’ll check out the strumming video too!

Why am I having so much trouble with this song 😭

I just started playing guitar and this is the perfect song

i just started using my brothers old guitar and this really helped me understand music and guitar thx SO MUCH

Been strumming for about two weeks now, this is the first beat I've been able to pickup to some degree. Thank you.

It took me 20 years to rub my belly and pat my head!👍

I’m a very new beginner at guitar. I watched another tutorial on this song and they started it with an open low E. It kind of reminds me of heart of gold. Now every time I try to play horse with no name, my mind goes to heart of gold and I mess the strumming all up and get confused. I was doing much better before I watched the other tutorial. Wish I’d just watched this one a few more times. It’s great.

This is one of my favorite songs and I'm a beginner and have wanted to learn this so long. I practice guitar after my kids go to bed when I get enough motivation. You make it seem so easy and I think I'll be able to actually play a song now. Thank you!

Ma fingers are so sore

Your methods are so easy thank you for sharing. I'm 68 and trying to learn to play the guitar . I bough one some time ago and I just keep looking at it thinking one of these days I'm going to play you lol

DUDE!!! I never, EVER comment on these things, but this is the GREATEST teaching I've seen since I started trying to play 2 months ago! THANK YOU!

I love this, I’m trying to teach my ten year old niece how to play. You are a great help!

What I like about this song, it is easy to play but has a distinct beautiful sound that you can recognize.

You are AMAZING!!! I have to do a song on a guitar for an assignment and this is going to help me so so much !!!!!!

Ahhh GTA: San Andreas memories :)

This is great Practicing chords is one thing but to be able to actually play a song is a great incentive thank you!!!

You are an excellent teacher. You have motivated me to learn properly - thank you 🙏

After learning this tune from your instruction... I’d feel confident enough to sport one of your sick guitar hoodies walking down the boulevard. Thank you Lee John 🤙🏻

Why am I here ,I’ve been playing guitar for 6 years like I can play anything ,but I’m hear learning this song 😂

I learned it quick and easy but the problem is I can never move my fingers to the other cords quick enough😬

this is really cool! I'm having fun playing this and strumming!

After how many years I've been trying to start learning some sumple cords and voila! I find this guy on 9/17/21 and actually understand what the I just strummed. Thank you!!!!!

I learnt this song in 20 mins thanks so much even downloaded it so I can watch it back

Im gonna try this u look for real!

Thanks Lee John - you are right that is so easy. Thanks for sharing

Absolutely love your channel. Find you So easy to follow. You are a massive legend

1:17 he's giving the guitar the finger!

Such a great teacher, clear and concise, thank you. Doing wish you were hear atm

I learned this quickly, thanks! Plus while learning it I figured other stuff out too so I appreciate you for opening something up for me

I'm 43. Never touched a guitar in my life. A friend of mine gave me his electric guitar, he NEVER touched it in 30 years +. In 30 minutes... IT'S FAR FROM PERFECT...... But damn... It worked... Thanks my friend...:)

Literally one of my favourite songs ever, how cool it's the easiest song to play on the guitar! So much motivation now!! Thank you!

Thank you so much! Helped a lot and I think this really helped me with strumming and moving my fingers :)

Best first lesson ever!! Went through so many to find you. Thank you!!!

Simple and easy yet very nice sound 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️🎸🎸🎸

I thought it was gonna be smoke on the water .... again

Thank you so much! This was the first song I learned!

Merry Christmas to you LJ, thanks for all your lessons.

Just a massive thank you! Really appreciate your videos. Just starting out and the way you teach is fantastic!

Also could you consider teaching obstacle 1 by Interpol

Thank you so much! This is my first guitar song i've ever learned! Thank you and God Bless😊btw, You have amazing teaching skills and i understood your lesson in minutes!❤❤❤

Thank you so much I got this guitar and haven't been able too play anything yet cause its so complex you made it seem very simple

*and I still can’t do this*

I just picked up my first ever guitar today. I have absolute 0 knowledge of how or what a guitar is. I just want to say thank you for ACTUALLY starting from the ground and building to this point. Thank you for showing and kind of telling others and me what “cords/strings” and “frets” are. Legitimately you and few others have even mentioned this in the first 2 mins of the videos. So thank you for actually teaching.

I know this was posted a while ago but thanks man ❤️ can’t believe how easy this was with your help 👍🏻

THANK YOU SO MUCH! finally i can play my first song😃 im a slow learner, your video's help me so much , love it! 👍

Just picked up an electric guitar. This is so amazing! Thank You! Now I don't sound like a total newb, even though I am one. lol

I love the time you take to slow down and make sure everyone can understand! i appreciate you Man!!

I did it in my own way and it’s sound great that’s good enough for me thanks man

I played that about 6 yrs ago and now made a my own riff out of it. Great video brother

you're literally a god thank you

So am i the only one who had this guy with me since the beggining now this is my second year playing i can do lots of chords and im still learning bar chords and i really would like to tell you how much you have helped me thank you lee love from utah

YOU ROCK! just found this one, and America is one of my favorite bands.. you literally just put a smile on my face!!!

your the best teacher! i think ill be able to learn my first song! i need to get comfortable switching to the idffrent chords but thank you so much!!

Wooooow I have learned my first song In 15 minutes thx very much 💗💗💗💗

thank you so much for all your videos!!! as a completely new beginner, and someone who isn't getting a guitar teacher (and nobody in my house can play guitar lol) these are all super helpful to me :)

This is cool! Great job!

Dude, thanks! Will enjoy learning with you mate.

D DU DU DU D U U U DU

My big problem with chords is that one of my fingers are always touching another string and it messes up the sound of the string my finger is touching. For example: If I’m playing the Em chord I can do the 5th string one, but when I do the 4th string one I touch the 3rd string…maybe my fingers are too fat, idk.

FINALLY a video I could follow thank you!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

you are a literal legend mate! I'm gonna watch all your vids!

I’m having issues with the last one, D-U-U-U-DU I feel like the triple U just throws me off, doesn’t go with the motion

Wow... I'm so happy, I just finished learning this song for my very first time, it's so cool, men you are the best, thank you so much 🤗🤗

Thank you so much! I struggle so much with strumming and this helps. Love your accent too!

Thank you so much, this really helped🎸👍

thank you iam so happy that i learned my first song ❤

hey thanks i can play this

Thank you soooo much man. It's such a simple song but sounds so good. Again thx so much 👍

Thanks!! 🫶🏼

just writing so i can remember. The strum is = D - Du-Du-Du (change) D- U-U-U-Du

37 year old joy seeker here and love this! You seem very genuine and kind. My brain HAS never been able to wrap a single cell of understanding around the guitar. But I digress, I’m ready, and it’s now a joy to learn with you:)

Thank you this is the best teacher i found here. You the best

Crikey, I finally played something that sounded like a song and it's one I really like, thank you so very much. I'm going to keep doing this for a few days until I think I have it sounding good. I'm totally gobsmacked and so grateful to you.

Papercut by Linkin park please .. Especially the opening riff Thank you 😊

Absolutely love this song.... Omg. I've looked for just the right strumming pattern for this for about 5 months and..... your amazing. Ty so much i finally am able to play this and it sound right. Only thing is my acoustic sounds a little deeper. Think that's all in the recording. Again... thank you so very much. ❤️ I will be following more of your videos.

Fantastic lesson my friend. Just learning and this makes it way more fun! Thanks!

this was so so effective. like seriously. tysm man:))

Thank you! Could you do a video of About A Girl by Nirvana? It seems pretty easy but I'm stuck 😑

Another great lesson!

Played it all the way through. Thanks!

I think I'm doing that pretty well. Can we do the solo from 'Beat it' now?
