[@janda-z8z]

Really enjoying your teaching Rob, you’ve inspired me to pick up the guitar again and learn some new techniques. Love your down to earth approach too. Thanks!

[@simonblaze4624]

I've been playing the guitar for years and still everyday is a school day when I watch your videos. Keep up the good work 👍

[@robertbaker1986]

It's just like being in the same room having a brilliant guitarist lesson. The best on KZbin Rob.. Thank you for all you do.

[@allandewhurst7611]

Brilliant session everything simplified so even I could understand. Keep it coming and I'll keep supporting you.

[@judithburgess952]

Illive your sense of humour and your excellent teaching skills. Thanks a lot.

[@jeromekovacik1198]

Rob, You are a hoot as we say in KY and I Love it!

[@brandonrwarren]

I'm 40 and have just started learning, you are amazing and I enjoy your videos. Thank you for your inspiration!

[@petersheely7246]

Hi Rob can you write a few finger picking exercises on a sheet i’m a bit slow so I need to look at sheets a fair bit. Cheers😉

[@MultiCugel]

Appreciate you taking the time to make a lesson for us Rob, thanks and i've made a note of those picking patterns. Enjoy the holiday!

[@russellnewton6660]

Cheers Rob 👍 I do like the finger picking lessons.

[@kateoconnell7260]

Lovely stuff Rob. Looking forward to feeling groovy!

[@Jeronimo365]

Brilliant as always Rob, as a self-taught finger style player I have so many gaps and I learn something new almost every time I ‘tune in.’ Showing my age there. 😂 Happy new year. 👍😎☯️

[@timpage4212]

Brilliant Rob love the T Rex

[@mitchroberts2620]

Hey Rob, so enjoy your classes, you are so easy to listen to and follow Thanks, keep rocking

[@suzanneroux-scheid3002]

Really great teaching 😊 Thank you for allowing us to discover and enjoy

[@stringman509]

Something I've a always wanted to be able to do finger pick 😮

[@kevinlewellen1037]

Thank you for the lesson. Happy New Year!

[@AceBaseKingOfSpace]

I loved the Marc Bolan part and the Johnny Cash groove. When I first learned to fingerpick I couldn't do it slowly, which made me eventually overplay and leave no space. I often hear simple patterns (not that these are easy) and think how great they sound. Now I'm virtually relearning how to play slower with space and a regular pattern, so these lessons are great.

[@enchantederic3792]

A very kind and happy Boxing Day to you Rob. "Feeling Groovy", by Paul Simon was the first song i learned in school, chosen by our 'hippy' chorus teacher, I think somewhere around 1974 when I was 11 or 12. Nice to finally see the chords ... we just sang it at the time. Love your introduction to finger picking using something besides Travis Picking. I wish each the best of years to come, love and music as the base and root!

[@MattFarndale]

Brilliant stuff Rob. Cheers again! Matt

[@richardfromcornwall5492]

Happy Christmas, Rob. Yet another brilliant lesson delivered in a relaxed, simple way which makes me wonder why other KZbin instructors seem to make it so involved.

[@joostvanbunnik7646]

Awesome Rob

[@andrewwright5924]

[@Nirabulator]

[@texasblueschannel]

Groovy Christmas from Texas, Rob! I started teaching a grown grandkid to play several months back and ran across your channel whilst looking around for some good exercises and such for her. Dude, your delivery and content are as good as it gets on the YT!

[@davidjones6218]

[@geoffpeters853]

Another brilliant easy to understand lesson , many thanks, and the way you sort of dismissed Cliff's Congratulations was really enjoyable.

[@fennahrob6934]

Ahh, Cliff made some great records. I worked with his producer Dave Mackay in the 70’s and 80’s. 👍🏻

[@allandewhurst7611]

Thanks

[@WilliamSwain-y9g]

Wonderful that's it just 😊

[@gaanyam3530]

Cheers Rob just found your channel 👍

[@jilldenise7893]

Happy Christmas, Rob. Thank you so much for your tutorials. You are such a great teacher. I had to give-up my guitar lessons a few moths ago because times are tough. I was sad about it until I came across your channel - it was meant to be! You're efforts are making my guitar playing so much easier and more fun.... In the future, could you do a tutorial for Proud Mary? Cheers. 🍻🥂🎄

[@alrichardson9862]

Great lesson, just what I needed.

[@rhiwderinraytube]

Thanks again Rob for taking time to make these videos. I am just beginning to learn fingerstyle and these vids really help. I do struggle with getting my 2nd (ring) finger to work correctly, but I guess that is just constant practice and muscle memory. PS Love Chet Atkins!

[@LMacNeill]

The problem I have with picking is that the chords have to be ultra clean -- you can't accidentally mute any strings, because there's no strum to cover up your screwed up chords. When you pluck an individual string, if that string is accidentally muted, it's going to be glaringly obvious, whereas if that one string is inside a strummed chord, you've got the noise of 5 other strings to cover it up. This makes fingerpicking a lot more frustrating for a beginner who can't always hit the chords properly with the fretting hand.

[@fennahrob6934]

Start with simple chords. Am, Em, D etc. practice the pick without chords too; concentrate on the picking and timing. It will all come together with practice. 👍🏻

[@jefftodd9937]

Hi Rob - just curious what make and model your nylon string guitar is. Considering getting one and starting to do some research. PS - driving my wife crazy, but muting the strings to practice the patterns really does help. Great lesson. Thanks!

[@johnw8604]

Just to say your videos are really interesting and useful. One question, I recently attended a party with neighbours and as a surprise I was going to play a few tunes on my acoustic guitar, I managed the first one but felt not quite right. I did get an applause though. I then tried to play another one and things got worse. So I hopelessly give up, I put it down to nerves. However, I then realised that the alchol I has consumed had effected my focus. I would not recommend anyone trying this with strangers it is highly embarrassing. 😮 I was wondering if anyone else had tried this? 😊

[@delta_magoo709]

Thanks, Rob - great stuff! Great Boxing Day tutorial!

[@robertbaker1986]

Fantabulous Rob. Thank you so much.

[@donnyt7799]

Love it

[@skintslots]

Any chance of Behind Blue Eyes or Substitute by The Who,Rob?

[@John-wu6rx]

Love your stuff Rob. Happy New Year Mate.

[@JTB--]

I'm an electric player and play some acoustic. Can finger pick decent with thumb and index finger, but Middle, Ring and Pinky don't cooperate 😩

[@indianatone218]

Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us , its nice to teach others skills ,do you want to learn welding lol ,take care buddy .

[@marktaylor7997]

Hey Rob can you please do a full tutorial on that Ride a white swan fingerstyle that you showed in this video…thanks and happy new year 🎉

[@fennahrob6934]

Hi Mark, I’ve done one for Ride a A White Swan. Have a look back for it. 👍🏻

[@marktaylor7997]

@@fennahrob6934 thanks Rob I should have looked first. I’ve found it now 🙄🤔😂

[@curtisanderson7246]

Rob can you explain how to use a capo and moving it to different fret and the key changes

[@fennahrob6934]

Hi Curtis, I did a video a while back called ‘So Where Do I Put The Capo’ CAGED system Explained. Have a look at and all will be revealed. 👍🏻

[@rv6864]

Great job! But I have a question.... if I'm using pattern Root, G B E B G Root with 8th notes, it seems hard to start the next measure with a root note? Hope that question makes sense...1&2&3&4&..Maybe I need a couple of quarter notes? Tks!

[@manyvibes1540]

😃👍

Once again good sh*t. John Australia 🇦🇺 😊

[@gaanyam3530]

[@jennyomalley7634]

Only problem is nylon strings , I can't buy yet another Guitar and my steel strings cut my fingers. I can play with thumb pick but the finger picks I can't get along with.
