I picked up the guitar again during lock down after 35 years to help with my mental health. It is a beautiful instrument and it really has kept me focused during these difficult times we are facing. I am so glad I discovered you Tomas. Your videos are extremely helpful, you don't rush and have so much patience. Thank you so much from the UK

Pleas keep teach us the easy Technics. I am still a beginner sir your Technics are really helpful. I really can follow that Technics. It's easy and good to learn quicker. Thank you sir in the future I will have lot of questions. Oh, now I got one. Can you teach short cuts of hard chords to play. There's many hard chords in the book. Really hard to play but there's short cuts that make the same sounds. Can you teach us something about that. Pleas sir. And thank you. For helping us. 💪

[@TomasMichaud]

Thanks Dp. Best learn the easy chords first. Don't worry about the hard ones yet.

[@shaunreich]

This is very helpful! excellent description and going slowly and guiding us into it. I realized I wanted to time it against a metronome while practicing this, then figured that the timing is the same as appregiated chords, that is to say it is quarter notes per string as i understand. I guess it confused me a bit because I'm thinking of non appregiated chords and am more used to them

[@TomasMichaud]

Glad it was helpful Shaun!

[@timsreyka4075]

Thank q Tomas

[@richardhooper]

You're welcome.

[@R.L.Humpert]

I can strum really well and play rhythm but I just don’t get the finger picking. I’m so frustrated. What do I do?? I try and it just doesn’t come naturally like strumming did. I’m really stuck trying to finger pick. And I love songs like that. What else can I do brother?

[@TG-wo5fk]

Already a fan🥰🥰🥰

[@TomasMichaud]
