[@danbgt]

I love your simple minded instructions. They are perfect for my old simple mind. Thank you!

[@fretworkband3204]

Simple Minds. What a great name for a band! 😉

[@CravenPark-116a]

Majority of guitar tutorials give me brain freeze. My favourite tutor by far. Only one i set a notification for when a new video is uploaded

[@timwhalen7928]

Rob, I caught on to you about a month ago. your entertaining, the kind of instructor that brings the point across and makes it easy on people like me that are slow learners. Life by the Drop! a good one.... I Don't know why you don't have more Subscribers! thank you so much! Cheers!

[@DBZ5371]

Life By The Drop was incredible, Rob. I’ve been trying to play that for decades. You nailed it. Don’t be disheartened. That was the best lesson I’ve seen. Simple, straightforward and accurate. Perfect 👌

[@StephenLindsay-t2x]

Another great wee lesson Rob , looking forward to Saturday

[@bettyandfrankbruno9088]

Rob, you are by far the easiest professional to understand. Great fun learning from you.

[@k0smos798]

[@andrewsflicks7920]

Brilliant wee lesson...I was checking out how to play The Letter by The Box Tops just this morning and, as you know, the opening riff is exactly what you have now described...coincidence?...I don't think so...😄👍

[@evertonjohn9271]

Love the channel and the banter Rob ! From a scouse guitarist in Chelsea Thanks

Hi Rob, I recently discovered your excellent channel and finding it very useful, thank you!! I also looked up your band ‘Alternative Radio’ and watched you and Alan on YourTube, Awesome!!! Keep up the good work Ian 😀🙋🏼‍♂️

[@BluesnCruise]

I'm going to see Tommy Emmanuel next Friday night in Dublin. It might inspire me even more.

[@robertwalker8779]

Thanks Rob. I'm taking adult ed classes after (many) years of trying to teach myself. I'm finding that if I take what my tutor teaches, mix it up with your advice and guidance, and one or two other similarly gifted communicators, I'm getting on much quicker that ever before. I love your wit and the craic. Great stuff 😊

[@DonaldMoffitt-rb3nd]

Just found your videos!! Perfect for a 67 yr old beginner!! Thanks

[@marilynking6535]

Your a good teacher ❤😊, love your insights

[@marilynking6535]

Thank you, a widow woman that lives in a village of 475 water meters, on water board. ,very rural, in the swamps of Louisiana, learning to play my classical guitar, a Cordoba, 700 dallor guitar, with NO teacher in sight , glad I found you videos, what a blessing to this 64 year old country girl , your approach is easy for me to learn. Been very Helpful Amen, God bless you 🙏💐🌻🌷🪻⚘️🌹🥀

[@basingstoke63]

Another good lesson ,Rob I took a peek at your ,Blue note page . I think the song ,Valley of Evergreen is rather good . Some years ago , a workmate took up Guitar , and all his teacher told him to do was practice chromatic runs and scales , and not a tune in sight . All we need to remember as students , is the three , P's ; Practice , practice practice . lol .

[@65martyfarty]

Inspirational as always

[@andyriley1090]

I'm going to take some of the credit for this video, as it was the basis of my lesson with you only yesterday! Looking forward to us playing together in a couple of weeks Rob, by which time I should have it mastered 😅

[@fennahrob6934]

You’re right Andy. How’s the practicing going? 👍🏻😎

[@robertbaker1986]

Thank you Rob.. fantabulous.

[@thommarson]

I learned how to play a guitar I bought down in Tijuana Mexico when we set off on a western pacific submarine trip in the late 1960s. We learned to play the shuffle with barre chords and some other cool stuff but If you would have been our ship mate it probably would have changed the trajectory of our life :-) We came in to Okinawa after many months of sea duty and walked into a bar and listened to a great band, Japanese long hairs. We were very impressed by a song they performed that night and when we got back to San Diego to my surprise we heard the song again. It was Come Together!

[@bhk7777]

Another great tutorial Rob! You always present something great to learn.😀

[@Daniel-ci6sn]

You are helping me to do the basics, thanks you so so so much

[@anthonyalfredyorke1621]

[@dieselman7453]

Good lesson bro u should do more lessons like this but use a looper pedal and explain the lead parts over the chord progression s .. just an idea bro ur lessons are always cool my man cheers from Ireland rob 🇮🇪🇮🇪🎸🎸🎸🎸thanks mate

[@TheXeroid]

Great teaching style Rob.

[@thomasroughton5345]

Lessons with fun thanks Tom

[@briangallagher1760]

Thanks again Rob

[@2011littlejohn1]

I have a theory that this riff started out as a Spanish guitar riff. Then the blacks in the US south heard it via Mexican influences and adapted it to the rhythm which you demonstrated. I did expect you to play this and was very pleased I guessed right.

[@almostfancyconnoisseur8929]

You sir , are the real deal ! Thank you for this

[@LMacNeill]

I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't watch the Life By The Drop video because I'd literally never heard of that song before. Thus I had no desire to learn it. I'll go give it a quick view right now, though. Take a look and see if maybe it's something I want to learn.

[@hankwaddingham5025]

the best tutor...brilliant..

[@WilliamPepper-h1q]

Useful stuff, thanks.

[@Daniel-ci6sn]

That was the easiest and best lesson for me thanks

[@beepmac275]

Just about gave up on ever progressing any further and settled for my own little repertoire.. found you a couple of weeks ago … I’m now reclaiming the box room … and at the age of 64…I’m gonna have a den .. with a telly. That’s connected to facetube 👍…never came across a pro like you who gives away so much for free…and your method and communication skills (tho they probably come natural to you ) are just brilliant ..thank you…just to add whilst watching this vid .. Hey bulldog got into My head .. I’ve always thought it’s their most underrated track and you can isolate maccas bass by unplugging the LH speaker…maybe one for the future👍..sorry I’m getting carried away 🙄

[@fennahrob6934]

Thanks for the kind comments my friend. Yes, Hey Bulldog is definitely one to do. 👍🏻😎

[@stuartramsay6550]

The b turn around bit, I always wanted to do it. Cheers.

[@andymatthews56]

Hey thanks for doing what you do, it's really helpful and I really appreciate your time and effort, thanks a lot.

Happy new day Rob!How old/young are you and when did you start to play the guitar?I play for around 2 1/2 years.What would you recommend to do from now on if I want to make people cry when I play my guitar and sing?That is what I want to happen.

[@jilldenise7893]

Awesome!

[@brynmorjenkins4376]

Smashing Rob !

[@farber2]

Mother is just the right word.

[@maccaslasher]

loving the vids. Great job. Ive been learning a version of classical gas by Mike Herberts but yours is much better. Do you have it in standard tablature ? sorry but after years of reading thosw tabs i cant switch to reading yours, my old brain wont allow it. Happy to pay for it.

[@fennahrob6934]

I might have some hand written tab for Classical Gas. If I can find it I’ll send it to you. 👍🏻

[@maccaslasher]

Hi Rob, Can you settle our discussion at home: Is your cap a Greek or a Breton fishing cap please?

[@fennahrob6934]

Not sure but I like the sound of both of them. 👍🏻😎

[@Suzanne2909]

Cool, thx!

[@ronperry691]

Hey Rob. What support do you use for your acoustic guitar? Thanks!

[@fennahrob6934]

I only use a support on my classical guitar. All others I just rest on my knee. 👍🏻

[@Dixie478]

Thank you so much Rob for making my dreams come true to be able to play the guitar. I went to this guy here in Dublin to learn how to play for ten years that cost me an arm and a leg and he taught me sweet fuck all only convoluted shit that confused me no end and made me want to fuck my guitar into the river Liffey. Thank God I stumbled across you by accident Rob you have given me the will to live my dreams again. Good on you Rob your a diamond, I love you as only a Mother could love.
