Hey. I know you take a lot of the dumb negative comments personally. I just want you to know that you have helped so many of us intermediate and advanced players. Your lessons and demos are well done and I personally wish you and your family the best this coming year.

Astonishing. I was going through old cassette tapes to get rid of them, no such luck because I tripped over so many songs I loved, including America Three Roses. I you-tubed, and got sent here, what a great job of figuring out those chords. I also play by ear, and have astonished other people with what I can pick up, mostly Joni Mitchell custom tunings and the custom chords, and then the usual 70's stuff from my teenaged years...I'm good at math too, but always had a hard time interfacing with people...I was diagnosed with ASD when I was 53. That is what makes my mind turn music into an equation I can play on guitar, piano, whatever, I think I am up to 30 instruments.

This video inspired recollections of 43 years of performing, of how I got started, and many wonderful memories of special shows and fun times shared traveling with my brothers in our band. I too was first inspired by my older brother. He took a few lessons. I never did. The first song I learned was House Of The Rising Sun. My first time performing in front of people was at age 14 when my brother let me strum along with his band at a cousins party. My first paying club gig was at age 17. My first gigging guitar was an Aria Pro II TS-400 Thorsound Series. I believe it is a 1981 model. I used it exclusively for 20 years beating the roads gigging two and three nights a week. A saddle finally broke and I bought a G & L Asat Classic. Now my main guitar is a 2018 Music Man Cutlass, the finest electric guitar I've ever owned. I finally spent $180 on new titanium saddles for my Aria, I affectionately call Thelma Lou, and had the frets dressed, the nut replaced, and the neck adjusted. Then a few weeks ago, I replaced the pickups with a set of Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates humbuckers. I'll be taking her out as my backup for a gig this Saturday. My advice for beginners is similar to yours. Start with learning to play open chords, learning the chords of each key, then practicing until you can change quickly and cleanly from chord to chord. Start with the fundamentals. Progress at your speed, but strive to progress. Put in the work. For intermediate to more advanced players, my best advice would be to form a 3 piece band with other musicians who are at or past your level of development. Then push yourself to develop your skills to create full sounding songs, pushing your abilities, thereby learning new techniques, new chords, riffs, and licks. Also developing and improving your ability to multitask and sing lead and harmony vocals. I'm 60 years old, and forming a 3 piece band has caused an old dog to have to learn many new tricks. Thanks for your channel. It is a time saver for me, performing in two 3 piece bands. I find a lot of inspiration and classic songs in your videos that are ones we've never played.

I want to thank you for making me a much better guitar player. I was someone who stagnated in my playing for many years, but after finding the PT channel, my interest in learning and growing as a guitar player really blossomed because you made songs I would’ve never thought I could play very accessible. And once I started learning a few new “hard” songs, it inspired me to get better and made me more confident in my ability. I can honestly say that I’ve learned more in the last 4 years of playing than I had in the first 15 years I had played. So, again, I just want to say Thank You! Best wishes to you and your family.

I started playing January of this year and I had some natural talent to begin with but after watching your videos and other guitar guys videos (majority yours) alongside several hours a day of practice I can now play rhythm for pretty much any song I want, I’m decent with lead chops and I’m playing for my church band all the time. Thank you so much for your videos and guitar knowledge. You’re the man.

This is great! I hope you'll do these from time to time... Your comments and insights are helpful and thought provoking. Your answer to the question about advice for people who want to get better on guitar got me thinking: I didn't even try to learn to play guitar until I was 56 years old, and then only because I had a big scare with my health and a friend said it's now or never, took me to a guitar store and basically forced me to pick out a functional $125 acoustic. (That's a great friend!) Much to my surprise, it was fun right from the beginning. That's what I never realized - it's even fun to suck! Just the sound of a D chord is amazing. I wish someone had told me that when I was 12 years old. Now just today I learned how to play the Beatles song Rain from your PT video lesson. It's been a wonderful journey to follow your lessons. I sure hope your recovery continues to go well and wish you and yours a splendid, prolific new year.
