I taught myself by dissecting note by note over and over Peter Paul & Mary's Freight Train and Don't Think Twice It's All Right... when the album was new! lol after that... Simon and G... Kathy's Song.... these were my humble struggling beginnings... how different my journey would have been if I could have been blessed to learn for one hour from you Rob! I am 70 now... so much wasted time... I have learned so much from you Sir... thank you!!

Hi, Rob. I've been following you for a couple of years now, since I resolved to learn "Time in a bottle", to play at my friend's wedding. Unfortunately, it was too intricate to learn in the time scale I had allotted 😢. When I finally reached an acceptable level of proficiency, I attributed a high percentage of my success to your unique fretboard printouts, detailing chord shapes, hammer-ons, simultaneous string plucks, and so on. Since then, I have been in awe of your "Jolene", Simon and Garfunkel in 2 minutes, and "Never going back again", to name but a few. Chapeau, le mec, as we French say. I have elected to refer to your sheets as, "Roblature", as the idea deserves a name all to itself. Let's see if it catches on ...

Rob, you are very encouraging. I'm nearly 71 and have never got this stuff sorted. Now, I'm actually, nearly, almost getting it. Good on you, and thank you. Pretoria, South Africa.

Hi Rob, I am 52 and have been playing guitar for many years only to find out that I have been playing it wrong for the most part. 😂😂 I really only played by ear for the most part but now im trying to learn the correct way and how to undo all the bad habits i have instilled in my playing style. I thank you for your knowledge and I have been playing with your techniques. It will take me some time to get it right, but with your help I am doing it slowly but surely. Thank you sir, and I look forward to learning more from you.

This is my Goldilocks channel. Some channels are way above my ability and others are way below, slow and boring. You have the ability to hold my interest and teach at a rate that is both capitvating and interesting. I have been playing guitar since I was 15 and I am still horrible but you help a lot. I am now subscribed.

Mate, MATE, I came across your channel just before Christmas! I´m a guitarist of many bands and stuff over the decades, solo acoustic gigs for years... Have never, NEVER learned picking of any form! Way beyond my pay grade! You make this look so "easy" I´m going to give it a go at 60 and see where I get to! Off on a musical road trip in Africa later this year and would be amazing to be able to knock out a couple of songs picking! Can you imagine 🙂 Thank you my friend!
