Hi James, I’m an older person trying to learn guitar. So pleased I found your channel, you explain things do well. Appreciate the time you put into providing such great explanations. Your strumming techniques were so helpful!

[@josephmurphy1686]

Hello James. I too am a much older person learning guitar. I think everything you show is really good and you make me feel like "I could do this" so thank you for your videos, and I loved the one with your wife.
All the best my friend.

[@dermotmurphy6804]

Thanks James Very well explained 👍

[@nevel-luna5070]

Just wanna say that you have helped me a lot with having the motivation to learn guitar again.I am still a beginner, but you have helped me with rhythm, and overall just understanding this instrument. Keep up the good work!

[@UmarKhan-iw8md]

Thanks for this valuable video

[@clydespaulding5826]

Great video, and thank you

[@thungadills]

Great teaching of how to change the guitar strings. I appreciate everything 🥰❤️

[@danserogermusic104]

Hey thanks, that's the video I'll be using as a reference when changing my strings soon (the ones currently on my acoustic guitar are there since, oh boy, maybe 9 years... ya I know, that's a long time... I sure will hear a difference in tone!). Very very nice channel by the way, a new subscriber here!

[@madeofnapalm]

Nothing makes you love guitar more than poking a 5 mm deep hole in your finger with a high E string 🤣🤣

[@edmonton1ful]

Great lesson I'll book mark it for when the inevitable comes. I might have missed it in the video but when do you recommend replacing strings?

[@danserogermusic104]

Same question!

It’s a pity that the Chinese translation on RUclips seems to have disappeared now😞
