    This is one of the quickest pieces I've ever learned (in about 5 minutes), and without writing down the chord progression.... Thank you for letting me sound like a pro without actually being one. And all with the easiest open chords. (Now if I can just memorize the lyrics as quickly.) After a long day at the office, I am enjoying evenings immensely following your easy to follow lessons. Thank you Marty!

    Hey! Been watching your videos for a little and you’ve helped me play some great tunes. My biggest challenge I’m finding is understanding EXACTLY how to strum. Do I always strum all strings? Do I only strum the ones for the strings I’m holding down? Do I change it up? I never understood that, and no one seems to touch ok that aspect of playing. Can you please make a video dedicated to strumming. Explain everything about how it works.
