dude out of all the tutorials i have found on youtube yours has got to be one of the best. You break it down and go step by step for the beginner to the advanced player. I picked it back up after 20+ year hiatus of playing. You rock good sir thank you
David Potts is the best guitar tutor on RUclips , always the right amount of info. This is how I got into playing. This should be the national standard for videos.
I am picking this thing up again after 40+ years. Right now the only thing I have picked up is Taps. I spent 26 years in the Marine Corps and had a lot of funerals to attend so I thought that should be my first one to learn. Now it is time to get started with other songs. I have watched a lot of you guys on here and out of all of them, you break it down so I can even understand.
Bravo, The best tutorial for this song. As tension between Russia and Ukraine developed, I searched for an easy tutorial to perform this song with my old guitar. Finally I found out this one. I am singing right now. Hope they can hear my voices and cool down. Thanks for the great tutorial !
After 10 years break I finally found time and passion to learn everything again. After few days of trying to find adequate lessons I wanted to quit again, but than in the most desperate time I found YOU and I finally found that amazing feeling when you can play your favorite song. My fingers are in pain after several hours per day playing, but it definitely worth it. A THOUSAND THANKS TO YOU, you are amazing teacher and I hope you are also mentoring in your free time, it amazing feeling just to watch you how you enjoy the playing. I would really like to ask you to put one song in your repertoire - Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
Love how you clearly show how to strum with it! This has been hardest thing for me to pick up & no one else on here has explained/showed it so well! So keen to do this here with you soon! Thanks so much, I was feeling like giving in but you inspire!
just started guitar 1 month ago thanks really wanted to learn a song since when playing the ukulele before guitar only played segments of a song but my dad told me to learn full songs so I changed to guitar to try what it was like then wanted to learn a good classic song thanks a lot love it.
Hey I got you all beat, I'm going on 68 and been playing about 2 years, give or take. I' am lovin' it, although I do get discouraged at times, I'm sticking with it. I just found this SongNotes site and suscribed and joined Patreon to get tabs etc. He is a great teacher. Good luck and let me know how you are moving along!
I've been playing for many years. At more than retirement age i find myself in a rut. Just subscribed, now it's time to play my way out. A little help is great, and youtube red Thanks !
Thanks David...great video for a player that has finally picked up playing after 30 years..got a Martin ..I figured it was best to get something that would at least sound good..appreciate it!!
This tutorial actually made want to learn and play my guitar...and the transition from chords was taught so well... exactly what a beginner needs.... loved it, thanks a lot!!!
I'm a metal player who for some dumb reason never decided to learn cords and has finally gotten around to doing it. It's kinda embarrassing because I can do super advanced riffs and solos but can't do basic songs. This video helped alot with developing my cords so thanks for that.
Hello I’m just a beginner myself . My first song I learn was horse with no name, I’m still learning to get in beat and my strumming pattern. I took a screenshot of the first 4 cords. I’m still learning thank you very your tutoring makes it’s a lot easy to learn 👍 you are awesome 👏
I really love everything about this lesson. Thank you so much for sharing! This is one of my favorite songs and now just through your video I can actually play it 😊 Ooh I am so excited. Can't wait to show off 😁

Greetings from Russia, dear tutor. You're really one of the best on youtube in what u're doing. Thank you!
