My father got a guitar for Christmas when I was 11 years old.and they immediately put me into guitar lessons and I took lessons all through my teenage years, I.spent my whole teenage years playing with an older group of friends who played guitar also. I also took drumming lessons, played saxophone, bass guitar, 12 string guitar some keyboard.. For the last 5 years, I have been teaching a 17-year-old boy guitar every Wednesday night. I'm in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I'm 55 years old.

I really enjoyed listening to that! Very interesting. I'm similar age, 74, I couldn't afford a guitar in the early Beatle years but borrowed one from a friend, limited value as I am left- handed. Didn't have a natural gift and without anyone to teach me never got anywhere. In spite of that my best friend and I got invited to join a band at age 14, purely because our singing sounded like the Beatles. We had great fun, my mate was vocalist and I eventually got a cheap guitar and pretended I was actually playing with the volume turned off! Big regret that I never made more effort to learn to play. I was too busy enjoying the attention from the girls! I've learned more from you Ivor than anyone else. I have to be shown everything - your lessons have been invaluable to me.

The video we Ivor fans have been waiting for! Thank you Ivor for your interesting story of your musical journey. I envy your friend Malcolm! Wish I had a local friend with your expertise to jam with. My only comment on your remarks about "don't know scales, not a technical person, etc"... I think you have a unique ability to be able to listen to a song and be able to arrange it for solo acoustic guitar, (even songs that were originally recorded on piano), and make it accessible for us lesser talented players. You have come out with so many lessons for songs I love and never thought I'd be able to play. For that I am grateful.

That’s pretty cool Ivor! Thank you for the insight of your guitar journey. Keep doing what your doing your style on utube is the best I learn more from you than anyone else out there. Actually no one needs to request a song by as you cover all the generation of music that actually blows my mind how you come up with this from Pink Floyd to Puff the Magic Dragon 😂. You’re such a blessing Love ya’ Mr. Sorefingers.

Hi Ivor, I loved listening to your musical history, I have no doubt that we all have very similar stories to tell. I am 74, and we migrated to Australia in 1960 after dad retired from the British Army. I have to thank Hank Marvin for my career in playing guitar because when I first heard Apache, about 1963 ?, I said to myself, I have to learn guitar and play that tune. The rest is history. I still play guitar, I don't read music but play by ear. I watch you quite regularly because I enjoy your presentation. Thanks again, George.

You're an essential conduit of cultural transmission Ivor! You've created an important archive of material here. I hope KZbin realises that. I'm trying to do a little bit of the same thing at ultimate-guitar, transcribing the songs that no one else seems to have had a go at, mainly from 60s-70s-80s British pop bands.

Thanks for sharing your background story. I found it very interesting. I also enjoy your lessons. I have gradually improved my competence as a result of following your channel. Your output rolls out at a rapid pace,and I often wonder how long it takes you to learn a song,then convert it to a lesson. Do you have the chords to follow or do you determine the chords/runs from the records?

Hi Frank. Glad to hear that you enjoyed my potted history video. I generally work out songs by ear and run through my arrangement a few times before making a lesson on it. This usually takes 2 to 3 hours unless it's a simple song. Ivor
