    Hi Rob
    this lesson is fantastic.
    I am learning guitar since I am retired (i'm 64) and i really appreciate your lessons.
    if you want to visit Strasbourg in France it would be a pleasure for me to host you.
    thanks to you, I am able to play the great song "wish you were here" by Pink Floyd, it is incridible
    thanks a lot

      Maybe because he's had serious vocal lessons or training? Don't lower yourself, everyone can be good at anything after they've worked for it. I'm not as good as him, but I don't question myself why lol.

    Very touchy song. It makes me shed tears just to hear every word of it. I am a long lost daughter for 52 years, finally found my Dad who lives his whole life in West Virginia. That's why hearing this song, I can't stop getting emotional. Yeah, " Take me home, West Virginia".
