      Hi Andy love your videos.. I have really big hands and have bought a 36inch guitar. I cannot get my fingers to only touch 1 string. I always catch at least 1 other string.. Have I made a mistake in a small guitar.. Do you think I would stand a better chance with a big guitar like the one you have??

    Thank you so much for this. As a 57 year old beginner, I've been searching for lessons that are actually easy to follow. I can't believe i actually learned 2 chords already. I'm using an electric guitar for now. Just purchased a beginner acoustic on Amazon that'll be here in a few days lol. I'm gonna learn to play if it kills me lol. I didn't know it would hurt this much though lol. I'm sure it hurts more than it should because I fell off of a bridge at work back in 2015 and had to have my fretting hand and wrist totally rebuilt and fused. I don't care how much it hurts. I'm not going to give up

    Another all-in-one video for guitar beginners, where chords and strumming knowledge and practice to a jamming track is a great approach and encourages you to practice.
    Perhaps for volume 2 series some popular songs to jam to and learn the chords at the same time

    Hi I’m 63 and have plenty of time on my hands after a knee replacement op I’ve been so bored but want something new to do, my wife works in a charity shop, she had a Chantry acoustic guitar donated which she’s given me 😮 I have never played a cord or note in my life but enjoyed your first tutorial despite my fat fingers I will give it a real go, very pleased with my efforts so far, thank you for your time and upload 😊

    This is a somewhat different approach than Andy uses in the 10-day challenge. A little more sedate pace, with more details about how to arrange your left hand to get the chords right. A nice follow-up to the 10-day.

With your online course I am considering subscribing, but fo I need to download an app to access the lessons or log in to an internet site. I've had a bad experience with a subscription through an internet site that also required an app from the app stores for iOS or Android.

    Day 3 - on the E major cord the pad of my 3rd finger keeps muting the 3rd string. I can get it to stop by really arching my hand but only for a second before it starts muting the string again. Any advice or should I just keep practicing that cord before moving on to the A major?

    Wouldn't you need a left handed guitar to flip it? Else the entire strings are reversed and the chordshapes would have to be adjusted accordingly too. Just think its a thing that should be mentioned in the course
