I'm a 69 yr old male from Surrey BC. I've played guitar off and on ( mostly off!) for 50 yrs. My hands are munched from years of labour but I still like to learn a lick or two now and then. I enjoy these types of videos because they are short and simple. Keep it up, we appreciate out here!

[@myhypno]

Angela, you are a wonderful instructor, it's like you are talking directly to me. This 66 yo is getting back into playing and you make it so much easier to learn these classics. Love your personal approach and the length of your video dedicated to just one song.

[@paulmontgomery303]

Michigan. Sticky fingers favorite Stone album. Good job

[@markhealy243]

Favourite Stones albums: Exile on Main St; Some Girls; Tattoo You; Steel Wheels; and Bridges to Babylon (who else could write a song as extraordinary as “Out of Control”)

[@billmeyer4665]

I am an older guy trying to learn the guitar, I think you are a good teacher!

[@michaelwheeler3782]

I love the way she teaches Many people on these sights are on an ego trip and many times are showing off She takes the time to break it down and show you everything in detail. She had become my favorite instructor by far Keep up the great work If you could show us YOU GOT THE SILVER I would be very grateful

[@rickc2727]

Same here. Very thorough teacher. Easily the best on the internet. Even better than in person lessons that I have had.

[@AngelaPetrilliMusic]

Thank you both for the kind words.

[@RobHawesMusicChannel]

You are a great teacher. Your enthusiasm and your voice inflections keep the attention focused. It’s just what I need.

[@Nicky-T]

I love that you throw some basic theory into your explanations of what's happening. Great teaching technique to use, useful for students' understanding and ear training.

[@MotoTavira]

What a great teacher! Love your pacing and the time you take around getting your ear in tune with the inflections! Big time kudos!

[@MotoTavira]

Monkey Man next please! :)

[@littlebitobi]

Angela, you are by far one the better teachers, love your lessons, teaching method, enthusiasm, keep it up. A fan from way up north, Quebec, Canada.

[@steveamey3118]

Angela - this was really fun and I was surprised how the hybrid picking added so much...yet wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Thanks for this. Keep it up. Really enjoying your approach. 1 hr is perfect.

[@georgelange5272]

That sounds great! You are an excellent teacher and you can really explain perfectly

[@michaelbacom6337]

I like how you explained open G tuning nd broke it down to 1, 3, 5 notes in the key.

[@stevebirkbeck9513]

Thank you. I have explored at least five lessons on this riff; yours is clear - an example of excellent teaching/communications skills. Thank you.

[@user-dd5gq5vs1f]

[@charlieniner1552]

First concert Fleetwood Mac 1977. Great lesson BTW

[@alar1967]

Great lesson!!

[@AngelaPetrilliMusic]

Glad you liked it! Thanks!

[@budpazur4674]

I don't believe anyone anyone mentioned this album, but after Exile, my fave album is "Get Your Ya-Yas Out"! Maybe this should be in a separate category - 'Best Live Album'. Anyway, it is special to me because I was there for this tour, and the album still just rocks - Mick Taylor is a monster, and the songs, even tho some are covers, show the Stones at the top of their live power.

[@hapax87]

I agree. I almost picked Ya Yas as my favorite, But Let It Bleed has to be #1 for me.

[@juanmanuelfarinasfernandez8133]

muy bueno!!!

[@RoadTripEddie]

Hey, thanks for this vid, and MEGA thanks for your Keith love ❤️

[@vincefletcher1547]

Where can I find these pickups for my telecaster build

[@mb13972]

Just subscribed to your channel, excellent lessons. Have not had a chance to go look at everything but could you (or will you) do "Lady Jane" by the Stones or some Jethro Tull. Actually, is there a listing of all your lessons?

[@randysheets898]

Hi I’m turning in from Lakewood Colorado

[@nightmoves7989]

I was going to thank you for the great lesson and to say how great of an instructor you are. I don't know if it is your natural way or if you developed your method but it's very effective, not at all jumbled and confusing and not at all demeaning in the way that some instructors have to teach Mary had a little lamb or on top of ole smoky almost immediately losing favor with the student. Anyway, it doesn't look like I have to tell you!! Every other comment was how great you are at teaching.

[@slametriyanto8352]

I like it

[@lawsonlawson9806]

I love it ...you can't play fast what u can't play slow👍👍

[@ramfish25]

From Las Vegas. Hot Rocks 64-71

[@robertveith2255]

Iam on UTUBE from West By God Virginia love the way you teach also Keith Richards only use 5 strings on his guitar 🎸 i don't have a favorite album but a like a lot of songs from them !!!!!!!!

[@billiewooten7465]

Completely out of the box. Angela could you would you do a lesson from the band Gomez. Song that I want to learn correctly is "Free to run " Thank you so much

[@kinnonkerr6532]

[@albert2395]

Carl Brown of guitarlessons365 is really good, he is a yank and for a limey/pommy/aussie Justin Sandercoe of justinguitar is really good. He has been endorsed by no lesser a guitarist as Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits!😊

[@Remtech7]

M'y favorate Stones' LP is "Décembre children and everybody "....

[@frankperricone2065]

Some Girls but Exile on Main Street is a close second.

[@alfalders3020]

That’s a beautiful Tele. I love maple neck k and fretboard. I’m in Bendigo Australia. Tattoo You is fave album. Have you tried Keith’s tuning which includes removing the first string. Will blow your mind. Bless you. You’re an awesome young lady. God bless ♥️🙏

[@alanhowell3646]

Have you actually watched the video? She explains she is in open G and that Keith plays with 5 strings?
