    For all his hard work, we now shed a tear
    A tear of pure joy over all of the gear
    Fifty odd thousand have stopped here on by
    To take in a waffle from a stand up guy
    So here's to you at fifty K
    Here's me hoping, you'll be here to stay!

    My local community centre had a local cab driver who was Classically trained on the guitar. He was great . Down to earth and taught us kids at the time ( 35 years ago ) guitar and music for free as we had nothing I'll always remember Ted. He's so like you in personality except he was Scouse. Guitars stayed with me all this time and I'm sure you're inspiring people as well . Love this channel because of you and your knowledge
    Keep going forever fella 🎸

    Speaking for myself and many others im sure, im drawn to the channel coz of your passion and authenticity Colin in your reviews and content.. Its refreshing in this day and age and it's deeply admirable you turn down payments and endorsements to keep it all legit, and we value that big time. Including all of that the reviews are really informative and always include a few laughs which is so enjoyable. We NEED a channel like this as guitar nerds and players. Im going to subscribe to the TV channel. Thanks for all you do, massive kudos to you on the 50k and here's to 100k mate - Keep em coming!! 🤘

    G'Day Colin... Have just a 'few' words to say...
    Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at supper time,
    You get tea when it's raining, tea when it's snowing,
    Tea when the weather's fine.
    You get tea as a mid-day stimulant
    You get tea with your afternoon tea
    For any old ailment or disease
    For Christ sake have a cuppa tea.
    Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
    Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
    Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea
    Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea.
    Thanks and Cheers ! 🤠...

It seems the least I can do for all the work you put in this honest and genuine channel and after 30 years playing acoustic I bought a Les Paul after watching your reviews and haven’t looked back, or played my acoustic since!
