I've been singing for years and years. I always wanted to learn how to play guitar, but I seriously have NO patience. My guitar was sitting in the corner for 5 years until these last 4 days. I can now play this whole song! Thank you so much!!!!

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Awesome! Love it!

[@microphonemike4835]

@@CountrySongTeacher wish I could say the same. I can't get my fingers right

[@thejanitor1365]

😂 After literally decades (a traveling job and family ate up my time, and that's fine) I've found the key to learning guitar is patience, diligence, regular practice, don't be lazy, and don't cut corners. Many say it takes about 10,000 hours of practice to become really, really good. It's like anything else. If you want to get really good you have to put in the time and effort.

[@codydutson9954]

Country song teacher is very correct. Your amazing ive tried to learn the guitar for about 20 years now and watching you ive really started to learn i love it

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Thanks so much!

[@beckiewrites]

Thank you so much! My dad passed away last year. He left me his guitar and after looking at it sitting my office for a year I’m finally ready to try to play it

[@danmccay]

I love this song and this tutorial but I love the sound of your little ones playing in the background. Keep them coming!

[@justinbouchard]

This is more than a song lesson this is a parenting lesson. You're amazing dude.

Your an amazing teacher great take on how you teach it so simple so clear . Thanks Matt God bless you . Music is everything.

[@lisaguidry5784]

I've been trying to learn guitar for a long time. I even took lessons in school, but I just never could memorize how all of the chords and commit them to memory. In my head, I can play EVERY SOUND a guitar makes, in EVERY SONG I HEAR...I just can't play them on a guitar. I can't tell you how I hate that. I say I should have been born a guitar, because I sound just like one, just with my voice, not my guitar. I must have 8-9 guitars in my home. I have been saying I'm gonna learn. I'm 57, and there's so much great music in my head and soul. I'm trying to learn on your channel, and I have to say, this is helping me mire than anything I've tried so far. Thanks for being so clear and keeping it simple. Good looking kid ya got there, too. 👍🏼

[@cherrayegullett6175]

I have learned so much by your videos. I’ve watched so many other videos and couldn’t connect my brain. Thank you for doing this. My dad and mom was my biggest fans, I sing. My dad bought me a guitar at 12 and I didn’t want to learn so I sold it. 🥹😭😭. He could play any instrument and he was a genius who couldn’t read or write but he played guitar and banjo like a star. I’m now 54, He’s passed and my heart cannot find peace until I finally learn to play and go show him at his resting place. I pray often that that guitar he bought me somehow finds its way back to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤❤❤ 🙏

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Sorry for your loss brother! You can def still learn! Master the big 4 chords G C D Em

[@stewillo86]

I've just stumbled across your channel. I'm from Liverpool in the United Kingdom. Just started to learn to play the guitar this past week or so and this lesson, although I don't know the song is brilliant! I'm strumming away and getting my chord changes pretty well. (Only country singers I know are Chris Stapleton and Oliver Anthony who I had the pleasure of watching a few weeks ago live in Glasgow, Scotland.) Love this lesson, I'm definitely going to be coming back here for some more. Thanks. 👍🏻🎸

[@CountrySongTeacher]

Welcome aboard!

[@ricardojperez4682]

I love how you teach brother,.

[@Billybrock84]

Keep at it ole buddy

[@montexan1405]

I have watched Matt’s videos since November and practiced on a weekly basis and am getting very good. It was beneficial too that when I go to an in person lesson, I tell them I want to play the song like this::: Shows them Matt’s C and G::: For example 18 wheels and a dozen roses sounds so much better with Matt’s G and C than regular boring G and C. The boring G and C are also the harder ones to play. Thank you Matt for all that you have done for my music career.

[@kcross882]

You are a wonderful teacher man! I just started learning acoustic and this video just made my whole week! Thank you so much!

[@GrindingforGreatnessTFWR]

Matt, THANK YOU BRO, I just started three weeks ago and you have helped me more than any other video!!! I can play two full songs all the way through now but I am struggling with strumming but I just do down strokes to get through the song for now

Thanks so much! I'm in the airforce stationed here in Charleston SC & picked up playing guitar with your help man so I appreciate it! Only thing I'm struggling with is knowing when to up strum, if you could help with that I'd greatly appreciate it. Especially with this song. Thank you! 🇺🇸

[@LonskiBig]

He doesn't teach strumming, but says it's about "timing"...Why ??...Because it's more of a "feel" ..If your concentrating on a "by the book" strum pattern, it will be stiff and not sound right....Rhythm and flow simply come with practice the way YOU do it....

[@charlesharvey9337]

Good going Matt ! Thank you for making guitar simple for beginner's. Actually send your videos to a friend who lives a ways away. Keep banging out the videos brother. I already play guitar but, enjoy you videos & teaching style.

[@mikeherbert4154]

Really appreciated this lesson and the one on "forget the strumming patterns". I've been playing for about year now and can do most of the basic chords, including some of the barr chords, but consistent strumming has been the hardest thing for me to do. I think focusing on the rhythm, as you've taught us, is going to help me a lot. My strumming to date has sounded the same regardless of what I was trying to play. Great job instructing! I've really enjoyed every lesson I've watched. P. S. Not only am I a slow learner, but I'm also almost 71. I'm so enjoying learning to play after telling myself my whole life I could never learn to play the guitar.

[@freaklandwarrior7856]

Hey Matt, I learned this song from the tips from your videos. Thank you
