    “I’m useless, aren’t I?”
    Rubbish, Mr. Watkinson. I’ve tried my hand at teaching guitar myself and it’s quite the endeavor. Your presence alone on this channel is an educational one in music and life experience.

    I had a strong urge to listen to the acoustic version of this song a few years ago. After listening to it, I found out my one of my oldest friends took their life the night before. A few weeks later I found out I was pregnant after two years of trying. This song always makes me think of him. Could you possibly learn No Lullabies by Kill Cheerlearder, he always played it flawlessly.. Love you Frank, thank you for the beautiful music 🌞

    You remind me of Uncle Dan, a war vet that lived on my street. All the kids flocked to his house for stories and sweets. I met him when I was 9. I was the loner. The unpopular kid. He always told me my dad is raising me right. He was at my wedding and he met my first son. I went to his funeral when I was pregnant with my second and he was the grandfather I never had. If you've seen Big Fish, you'll know. He was my Big Fish. And you remind me of him. I'm 41 now and I think of him almost every day. ❤
    Thank you for helping me recall that memory.

    Hobbyist by no means! I’ve been so inspired by your work the past couple years that I’ve been following and your performances have brightened my day so much. And while yes the songs may be unfortunately fleeting from your perspective, on the contrary in my eyes I now have this entire library of your performances to look back on and reflect for as long as RUclips allows it. Thank you for continuing your passion and allowing me to watch it unfold. You’ll always be legend here!

    😂I so love this song and I love you Frank. Thanks for taking the time to show us your technique. Please consider doing these teaching videos regularly. You have a gift for teaching and have patient understandable explanation on playing. So many videos are made by people in a hurry that expect the student to already be at an advanced level.But you make it understandable even to the short bus crowd like myself.
    Thanks Frank

And I miss him everyday. I’d love to hear your beautiful voice rendition if ever possible. Always look forward to new videos from you. Kind soul. Thank you.
