Because of Andy guitar and another lady on yt named lauren Bateman are the two amazing people that have taught me all i know on guitar so far. Iv only been playing for around 8 months and have to say iv come a long way already. And its bc of the people like them who takes time from their days to show us who dont have hundreds of dollars to spend on music classes a chance to learn and shine. I have tremendous respect for the people on yt teaching others to learn and enjoy whatever it is their into. Mine obviously is music. So ya just want to say thank you to Andy.

[@anthonyamurri9278]

I was surprised that Tom Petty's Free Falling wasn't on this list....... and then I realized that I am overly tired because that's a 1989 song LMFAO

[@andrewsimms5636]

Thanks Andy, you have a way of keeping things simple while adding the fiddly bits or alternative chord shapes for those who want a bit more of a challenge. Enjoy your content.😊

[@kevindarnell7480]

Love that you sing the chords, helps me understand where I’am ps really beginner so find these really helpful thanks Amdy

[@vylia]

What a fun video! I've been learning for two months and a half, and I'm confident with some chords (D, A, E, Am, Em, Dm). I'm also learning C and G now. I'll add some of the songs you put here to my to-do-soon list (sweet home Alabama, Jolene, and the first cut is the deepest). Thanks for sharing, Andy.

[@andycrowley]

Great stuff, glad it helped!

[@bobkrause6114]

Thank you! Please do more like this!

[@pearlwhite7157]

Brilliant, thanks👍

[@Andy-1968]

Great video, Andy 🤘 please keep up the great work with making awesome lessons for us, my friend 🙂 take care and stay safe 🤞👍

[@andycrowley]

Thanks, will do my best! 🎸

[@laurinewman7850]

Nice lesson. ❤ Thanks

[@Music_man1962]

Great song choices to have some fun for any player level. Can you do a video of Easy to play songs for John Cougar Mellencamp?

[@freesk8]

Great lesson! Thanks so much! :)

[@andycrowley]

Glad you liked it!

[@mikeadkins1854]

Thanks for the help I appreciate it!!👍👌🎸

[@mariedevereux2959]

Great video and very helpful

[@andycrowley]

Thanks, great to read!

[@ryantelkamp5064]

Thanks for all the videos, I have had a blast learning through watching them! For a chord like D, I am confused how you're supposed to strum it. You're only supposed to strum the bottom 4 chords, but in the videos it sometimes seems like you strum the bottom 4, and sometimes it seems like you strum all 6. I know you have mentioned using your thumb to mute the string, but every time I try that it doesn't sound anywhere near the way it sounds when I strum 4. I guess I am looking for advice on playing chords like that in the proper strumming pattern you are teaching. Thanks!

[@shiftylad9938]

I have a guitar but my fingers have no idea what I want them to do 🤷‍♂️

[@Kogan0000]

As a beginner myself, I promise itll work eventually if you train them, focus on technique and go as slow as you need. It will stick eventually, stay consistent.

[@jacka2552]

Keep going you will get there! If it was easy everyone would play guitar 🎸

[@ST-xg3gy]

Keep working at it. A little bit every day.

[@mgcservices7524]

😂😂thought it was just me

[@freesk8]

Start simple. To start with, just strum once on a G chord, then switch to a C chord and strum once. Go back and forth about 100 times. Slowly get faster. Keep practicing! :)

[@pierheadjump]

⚓️ Thanks Andy 🌈

[@JuniperCo]

Brilliant cheers 🎵🎤💜🙏🏽

[@mrcurtis73]

When you played The Gambler, it reminded me of another 70s song, Kodachrome by Paul Simon.

[@user-vk1kp6fp8d]

great thanks for sharing 😀

[@mysticalmessengers7751]

Great list of songs from the basic open chords which I can just about change between all of them. Can't believe there are so many songs with just these chords. Many thanks again 😊🎸

[@paulhill1379]

Good video Andy.

[@antoniorobertooliveira3080]

Thanks, Andy. My favorite is Sweet Home Alabama, specially the riff. I miss doobie brothers "listen to the music", I think could be part of the list.

[@TungstenOvergaard]

Andy, eres fantástico.

[@victoryfackzin3211]

I love those 2 first songs The bellamy brothers, Alabama

[@pierbatteria]

Andy bravissimo ❤

[@robertbuckley2429]

I Guess "Werewolves of London" has the same chord progression as "Sweethome Alabama". I would like a Tutorial of "Werewolves of London" please Andy! I also liked that top 10.

[@goffdroid]

And blue on black

[@BearRamsey62]

I have always performed Jolene in D minor F major and G major in standard tuning with no capo

[@Its.namnam813]

Thank you sir

[@pugman1543]

Great vid ,

[@terrydaniels9126]

Cool Andy I like chords in sweet I just never done the lead riffs

[@andycrowley]

You should! Some are easier than others and super fun to play

[@user-pp4qp4iz3b]

You are incredible

[@freesk8]

Sweet Home Alabama should always be played right after you play Southern Man by Neil Young! :)

[@danieleacquavera4107]

You're damn right ❤😊

[@jimcarter6669]

Yea, but twice as loud!

[@CollinsKiprrotich-um2jh]

Is it one or two fingers that is comfortable to play hammer-ons?

[@2024TD]

Andy!! Please do a lesson for Highwayman by Glen Campbell 🙏

[@ShemMaso]

Thanks ❤❤🙋🙋🙋

[@kevincomer2101]

Can you show us some open g tuning blues please on electric?

[@annedarlington5837]

Great stuff 😂, great songs to play ▶️

[@manueldelen8361]

I like it, meaby 3 chord songs with finger picking 😊 please

[@andycrowley]

Great idea! I'll see what I can do

[@normanjefferychester882]

I like g d and a, I'm still trying to learn that ACDC song,

[@ryanbergwall9874]

Can you ten simple county songs

[@andycrowley]

Sure thing, I'm on it!

[@rtt1961]

Thanks!

[@jackmchammocklashing224]

You would be the top guy on any cruise ship, Own cabin two one hour shows an evening good money and trips around each area the ship was on. To be honest you would be better than any of the other acts they put on

[@leehare3438]

👍Cool 😎 I'm also playing horse with no name 👍 Thanks Lee from WIGAN ❗

[@randall7362]

C major or c add 9 ? On sweet home alabama

[@mipirumdo786]

Sir please do numb by marshmallow and khalid it is my favourite song but their is no proper video that i can find

[@stevenconnor4221]

Some singing lessons wouldnt go amiss 😂 At first I thought that was a Jimmy Moon acoustic.

[@0utcastAussie]

Pretty sure "I Got You" by Split Enz only uses 3 chords too ?

[@hadji828]

Nah, I Got You has a couple more chords. Great song, though!

[@Louis-kk3to]

AC ⚡️DC ❤

[@pauljenkins6982]

Hi Andy I did ask you if you could do a copy of brand new Cadillac by Vince Taylor 1959 in been at it for some time I just can,t get it write paul (kent)😂

[@patricka.crawley6572]

First Cut Is The Deepest. 1967.

[@barryedwards5]

Andy i have just started to learn guitar at 68 years old and i have enrolled inyour courses ,but just can not change emajor and major chords quick enough and its frustrating me.

[@barryedwards5]

A major

[@kenross812]

Hang in there. It seems impossible and that you just can’t do it….you can and will

[@ronaldmartin3606]

Start doing three down strums then change to another chord , 3 down strums , then back to the first chord . / Cmajor down , down , down , then G major down , down , down / practice the same 2 chords untill you are comfortable with your chord changing skills . // Then practice 2 more chords the same way

[@patricka.crawley6572]

Cecelia. 1969.

[@eddielily1951]

I'm a believer by the Monkees

[@SB.Langthasa]

Hi bro I'm from India 🇮🇳

[@zampanorama5423]

I like the latest 6 chords earworm: Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body 😎

[@MKDumas1981]

1:18 - 4 beats of G major. You did forget the F major coming out of the chorus.

[@virago496]

3 chords? And you didn't Include Status Quo? Well I never🤣🤣🤣

[@leishaallen95]

Ya like jazz 😏

[@Dylanscam1]

Check your diagram D/Fsharp

[@patricka.crawley6572]

Yokshuh accent, there.

[@laurajaneluvsbeauty9596]

I thought you were playing “listen to the music” at first. 🤣

[@chriscuthbertson]

I was disappointed by the lack of Bon Scot impersonation. ;)

[@BenDecko2023]

Hmmm, there you go breaking all the rules. My son, a "professional " musician states that real songs have many complicated chords and at least 3 different and unique time signatures. If not they are just songs for stupid people who don't understand music...I am sure he is right because he has played in a bar for free a few times, and once they even gave him a coupon for a discount on a slice of pizza.

[@alternadiva2010]

Lol 😏.

[@christimko9296]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@richardeckert1050]

🤘🏻

[@davemccrudden1999]

He's teaching people how to strum along to a song. In no way is this an instruction to play the guitar parts for these songs.

[@DavidSmith-os4uv]

10/10 dad story construction, damning with faint praise is a personal favorite.

[@Dodger2879]

"The Blues"....any more chords demonstrates redundancy.

[@Louis-kk3to]

Now every body's is going to get rich 😂

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

You can barre the A, but you still need to toughen up finger tips to play all the chords. Just sayin’

[@patricka.crawley6572]

1970s...awful music with a few glimmers. But not as bad as the 2020s.

[@AHA-bo8zm]

Great tutorial. Please also show how to play Cat Steven's version of First Cut is the Deepest- it's a beautiful song!

[@snakedriver]

Nice guitar, what model is that? Thanks

[@fiocchimanrex657]

Jolene
