Most underappreciated comment ever! Thank you!

Yes Pauls fingerpicking is like Marc Knopfler.

[@trevortilley5122]

Thank you.

[@tristancabanog9806]

Thanks man

[@jimkika]

What makes this channel different from many others is that Paul teaches the people how to love guitar and the benefits of it in your life, it's not only about practice scales and chords...

[@AlexAnder-ri8ns]

For me, it's also the fact that he's like the Bob Ross of guitar. He has such a pleasant nature and it's so relaxing and interesting to listen to Paul. It's like you would listen to a friend who explains music theory in a very understandable way to you.

[@ImGriffinP]

@@AlexAnder-ri8ns never heard that comparison till now but it’s so true.

[@vexxy0ps689]

I learned the importance of guitar last week when I had a mini mental breakdown. I haven't played in a year or 2 and I picked up my guitar and played for 4 hours straight. My immediate emotions came into line and I was happy again. Once you learn how to play it becomes a part of you and you can't stop playing. It's GOING TO AFFECT YOU SOON OR LATER!!! Keep playing people.

[@thomasknapp7236]

Anybody ever sit back and just think about how crazy humans are? We take wood, bone, and some metal strings (which is crazy in it's own right that we created them) and stick them together to create such moving music...we are amazing despite the negativity around us. Remember we are only here for a brief time. The problems we all experience are very small in the grand scheme of things. There is always someone who has it worse. Cheers!

[@aaronjoseph9014]

One of the best comments I've ever seen, very inspiring and insightful.

[@effinjeffin1811]

Isnt it amazing how in Sligo River Blues when the cord leaves G that it goes to F instead of C! If it went to back to C it would "resolve" there however by going to F the song has the feeling it would flow on forever like a river! That along with the "blue note" on the B string really has always made this a very special song to me. Thanks Paul! I think I saw my dog in the background if you see him again please send him home?

[@TheVlav]

This was amazing thank you so much for this video. My uncle recently died from liver failure and his favourite type of music was country. This video reminded me of the times where he would just chuck on any random cd from his collection and just sit on his chair enjoying the beautiful thing called music. RIP Uncle Mark

[@brennanroy7842]

You're a cut above every other guitar channel on KZbin. We appreciate the great work, Paul!

[@vlobster7660]

if your'e feeling stressed out and angry at the world....listen to this...you'll feel much better and relaxed after this excellent playing!

[@sallybowles2781]

I don't want to take anything away from your playing, but that guitar sounds like it has been made in Heaven

[@1cleandude]

This gentleman has no earthly concept of "half ass"; brilliant as everything else you do Paul!! Bravo!!

[@fabianschmitz6587]

@@jerkylover3896 getting a guitar shouldn't be any problem at all. Just try get some old used one for 10 or 20 bucks on ebay. You don't need an instrument that costs hundreds of euros or dollars to sound good, just practice :)

I love the way you play every single song you show us on your channel almost as much as I like the variety of authors, tecniques and sounds in your videos

[@Wrighteousjason]

Paul, not only are your lessons wonderful, but your voice and accent are bloody heavenly. Keep up the awesome work.

Between Paul David’s and fret>jams you can learn everything you need to know! Thanks to both of you!

[@teacherinthailan6441]

Beautiful... Music, playing...and filming!! Stunning setting too!

[@kmcnelley1981]

That was really beautiful, Paul. Something so calming and peaceful listening to Sligo River Blues.

[@miltontuffpuff]

I am speechless with the way you played, which is as beautiful as the location and the video that has been edited to perfection !!!! Really means a lot to see you do something so simple in such an elegant way. Much love from India and from a guitar player who treats you like a guitar god !!!! God bless you David !!!

[@chrisdom7731]

This was such a delight to the senses. Seeing the beautiful scenery while listening to your wonderful guitar playing is a a truly happy moment to dwell in. Cheers :D

[@vitormadisantanna8652]

This must be the best version of Sligo River Blues on KZbin. So much emotion. Truly beautiful...

[@tonywalkingstick8883]

Deep River Blues is inspiring and seeing the dry sandy bottom makes it that much more. Loving this.

[@goodcommentman1512]

This is inspiring. Could listen all day. Fingerstyle guitar is a gift both to the player and the listener. So grateful my guitar teacher taught me to make my thumb “independent” from the rest of my fingers when I was 12. (I’m 52 now).

[@frothymilksmiles]

I love the pure joy and lack of ego you express Paul in your choice of where you play and the playing itself! very inspiring

[@ducoeuralouvrage6563]

Very inspiring. Thanks Paul for all your beautiful video, quality of shooting, quality of content and learning. Wow man.

Beautiful playing and amazing sound. Lovely guitar. It’s hard to believe you hit such a crisp recording in the field. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@AntoineAlluyn]

Excellent as usual Paul, the background is marvellous

[@andreasfischer1649]

After years of guitar playing, I become more and more an acoustic guitar player... no cables, no need for any effects and amps... just the guitar and you with nice lovely fingerpicking! I absolutely love your video 👍

[@gitarowydominik]

I have noticed all the sound effects that you used in the video, Paul. Great job! A pleasure to watch and listen.
