this guy deserves an award for putting so much effort to this lesson and it's all free

I am 68 years old and have been a drummer for about 60 of them. Now, I want to learn guitar! (yeh I know all about the old-dogs-new-tricks hypothesis - but I am determined!). Looked at a lot of KZfaq teaching sites, but yours seems the most compelling and professional. Looking forward to this 30 day adventure to see just where it takes me!

I've been playing guitar for 10 years and like to go back to the basics every so often. Even if it's stuff I know sometimes it's nice to just reiterate, reaffirm, practice, and try new things. You hold the pick differently than I do. I hold it the same way but a smidge further up my index when my thumb then has a strong pinch on the pick at a right angle. The way you hold the pick is looser and flatter and feels a little odd to me but I've noticed it's much better for faster picking. And the way I typically hold the pick is better for really strong attacks. I honestly love finding these minute things that people might take for granted or don't realize. They make us all better players. Thanks!

Starting this challenge today as someone who has messed around with the guitar without any proper basics. So far your explanations are very clear, and I've had my strumming arm all wrong! See you in the next one :D

I'm going to learn guitar just so I have a reason to get out of bed. Thank you.

I love it when you describe how it feels for us when its our first time holding the guitar and the physicality of the finger placements. If you didn't mention that I would have gone thinking welp maybe guitar is not for me because it stresses my hands a lot. But since you told me its normal then I felt more at peace. It's little things like this that I appreciate the most because you're not just teaching us by the book lessons but you make it feel like you're a friend teaching us how to play the guitar. Also, hooray for my first day. I hope I can survive till the 30th. I will survive.

I am glad that I found your course! Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷🇬🇧

This is an amazing opportunity you gave us! I've already learned chords with KZfaq but will do the whole journey again with you. Thank you for being so thorough and patient!

I have tried about 4 other beginners lessons on yt and they just left me frustrated and unmotivated this is the first lesson where I actually feel like moving onto the next, thank you so much.

I'm watching this for advice on teaching at work, you are a great teacher! keep up the good work. God bless!

I'm on week 3 of my journey, but I will start day 1 again with your program! Thank you for putting this up! Definitely need your style of teaching!

You guys are the BEST😭

I have been meaning to learn guitar for a long time and never enjoyed learning so much as much as now when i saw your videos, thank you!!

I am going to love this ! Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for teaching so many people with these free lessons. Its so beautiful how much effort you are putting into this! Im guitar beginner and im definetelly gonna take these lessons

Thank you so much for this! You gave me so much motivation 😅 I'll start today. Wish me luck.

At 47yrs I’ve got my first Les Paul Standard guitar. I think everyone at my age listening to The Who, Led Zep, Oasis etc..regrets not learning earlier. I’m starting this course from from a complete beginners perspective. Can I say compliment you on the quality of the video. Nothing in the background to cause distraction. Very clear instructions in “ Layman terms” and the best thing of all is starting from first sitting /holding the guitar without making us feel stupid. Other tutorials I checked do this in a tone / manner making us feel like idiots. I sincerely thank your team for getting me on the path to playing guitar as of today 🙏🏼✌️

this is awesome. i’ve been wanting to learn for years and have always had private teachers to aid me in whatever i’m doing. this time it’s all me and your videos have been a great help. i’m a violinist so the hand position and fingers come quite naturally, i’m excited to see what progress i’ll be making!

Super excited!!!

I used to play when I was younger. Then I had a couple wrist injuries and it became hard to play. My guitar was sad in my attic so I decided to try relearning it. Thank you for this lesson! I understood everything perfectly.

Thank You for making these guitar lessons

My first time here but already filled with the motivation to keep pushing,thank you

I am so excited to start this 30 day course. Just fine lesson 1 whoop. You are so clear and this lesson was great 🥳🥳

Thank you so much and bravo, nobody else is putting out a 30 day lesson and challenge like this! My main fault is definitely not picking the guitar up daily, so this is a great challenge as well as learning again from scratch.

Day one of learning the guitar is complete for me. I am a 15 year old who wants to learn the guitar and this is so engaging and informative and it really helps me to see whay I should do without confusion. This man deserves an award for his hard work and effort

Your amazing!!! Thank you for this!!

I have viewed a number of videos on KZfaq, however your channel is the only one I can follow with ease.. I have treated myself to a new guitar for Christmas, and have never in 50 odd years have I even picked up a musical instrument. Within a day, I am already seeing progress.. Thank you.. I will be following your guide for the full 30 days, and know doubt have it on repeat until I can play freely..

Thanks for this man!!!

Just completed the lesson.😊 Thanks for making such amazing videos

Loving the energy! Thanks for making and sharing this course.

Thank you so much. I've looked through and tried a lot "beginner" videos and almost thought this wasn't for me. Completing this so easily provided much needed confidence

im actually so excited about learning now that's crazy ‼️

Thanks 👍

👏🏻👏🏻 really helpful.. thankyou sir👍

I really like your lessons I’m on day 1 and I’m really excited and happy 😊😊😊😊 ty!!!😊🎉 🎉😊😊

A friend suggested this to me yesterday and it’s currently 3:30 in the morning and I have to stop myself from watching the whole video tonight so I can watch it tomorrow and learn from it better

Omg I'm so excited to learn with this course. now i started the first lesson 🤗

I've tried picking up guitar three or four times within the past few years (once with a teacher, other times on my own), and I've always struggled to understand what I'm doing and keep at it. Hoping to build a habit by following along with this 30 day challenge! Cheers, and thanks for the (so far) easy to understand lessons.

Amazing lessons! Very hard to make this content in this height level quality. Thank you very much!

thank you..i just started learning from you. very interesting

"Removing bad habits"! I see you've been around for at least a year, but I'm just now discovering you. How does that happen? Well, no matter. I've been picking around with my guitar for several years and getting more serious about wanting to learn for about 2 years now. Mostly on my own (with the help of youtube tutorials), but I have recently (in the past couple of months) began taking lessons from a live instructor. He's taught me a lot and corrects my bad habits as they expose themselves, but I have thought several times that I need to just start at block one and "unlearn" while "really learning". So, I'm glad I found you! My instructor is awesome, but I intend to follow your beginner course and learn a lot of the basics I've obviously missed. Thanks for offering this course!! I've learned a lot already!

I loved it and it was very helpful and easy

Very good lesson 👍 now I can get a blue fedora.

Just got a Luna electric acoustic. Thank you for this! I can't wait to be Jammin. Ima bout to hit all 30 vids.

Very helpful……thank you

That's the most beautiful electric guitar I've ever seen

Started this course a year ago. Definitely have lots to improve but the fact that this course is free is insane. Thank you!

I wanted to learn guitar since forever. Finally bought a guitar couple days back and couldn't find any good videos till i found this challenge. Hoping to finally achieve my lifetime dream

Hello from Turkey!:) I'm a teacher of English and a student of classical guitar:) I appreciate your courses to teach guitar for free. This is so crucial. I recommend you for my students both for guitar and for your nice English speaking:) Thank you man!

This is the best online tutorial for beginning guitar players.

starting today! hope i can learn!

I know this video is a year old but I just found this video and I have 3 guitars given to me and I’ve always wanted to play as I like music so I am starting this 30 day lesson today!

day1:-complete....eagerly waiting for the next lesson

someone commented about this channel on reddit and I like it! 42yo beginner starting the 30-day challenge today! :)

Thank you so much for the tut !!

Excellent……You are a really good teacher with a pleasant and calm voice…..I really like the way you’re presenting this course material for beginners, it’s simple and easy to understand….love the blackboard system…..What are the pens you’re using ?….I’ve already started to get calluses on the tips and they feel quite desensitised,an unusual sensation.

I started today..... Ur videos are very helpful❣️thanks

Love💟🤘

This was a great intro class

This is my first day after buying a classic guitar and iam absolute beginner, i hope after 30 days i will creat my own band😄

thank you so much! Day 1 done. 09/OCT/2022

Great lesson. Thank you

Thank you very much

you are amazing its so sad that u dont have millions of subscriptions yet

Day1:Just started this challenge after a self taught rough run of guitar for the last 6 months.This is an amazing find.I am excited to see how well i play by day 30.

just thank you

Super guitar tutorial 💪😍🎵🎶 after watching your videos i am able to play guitar perfectly Thank you so much ❤️

starting my 30 days challenge today!!! lets do this >:)

This is good, so many other "beginner" videos talking about "hitting the root on the fifth in the key of B focusing on the triad natural pinch harmonic tuned down 1 and a half steps during the EL84 biasing setup with a compound radius fret buzz on the twelfth" get those simple things down and you'll be good for your second beginner lesson. 😋 Many of these videos forget that beginner means starting out. This one is excellent!

I used to play about 10 years ago and I just bought a cheap electric to try and get back into it. The amount of horrible habits I developed from being self-taught are astronomical. I just want to say, the way you explain this video and how you reassure brand new beginners and returning players made me hang on your every word. And man, I feel humbled and excited to do the remaining 29 days of this. One of my biggest challenges was interfering with other strings while playing because I never once considered my thumb position nor curled my fingers properly. Doing these exercises was tiring as hell and that just goes to show how much I need to develop, but the fact you were so reassuring by saying things like "expect it to feel uncomfortable at first" goes such a long way. I can't tell you the amount of teachers across different fields who would never even consider giving reassurances such as that, and it goes such a long way towards keeping your students interested. Thank you so much for uploading this, you have a very comprehensive and patient teaching style, while at the same time keeping even the most basic concepts interesting. You're a legend and I wish I could subscribe more than once

I'm so glad I came across this video I picked up a guitar today and was determined to learn... After going through different videos on KZfaq which I was dissatisfied with, I came across this video and I must say; your method of teaching is top notch and you explain so beautifully well! Thank you Btw, I'm pure novice and have never learnt anything about the guitar before but now I'm able to play the strings in the video. I'm so happy RN.

Starting this from today !!! Will update !!!

hey Dan I'm a fan of your work recently i finished the major caged i'm still working on it anyway i'm learning guitar online and i can't find somethings so these things are jazz guitar essentials,R&B guitar essentials and chord extensions i think if you guys can make some video series about these it would be great for me and other online guitar learners thanks

Bro, you deserve to be my guitar teacher. My guitar teacher always teach me but badly. It is my 7 day and I thing iam a bad student but when I watch your 1 day, I feel like a pro
