lmfao "excuse my hairy troll fingers" I love this guy

[@awol2602]

What a damn fine teacher.

[@padlockd]

Just watched two videos of this guy, and I've learned more already than in the past few hours of videos I've watched... Love it!

[@robertcampbell3336]

padlockd vvv

[@crashpodROCK]

I have to say - I've only just started watching your videos, Matt, but I find you so endearing and likeable that it makes the whole process a joy. The skills you're showing me here are just fantastic, and lesson content is very well-paced (to my level anyway). Keep it up, mate, this is som excellent stuff you're producing here.

[@daddarioandco]

Remember some forgotten licks!

[@soyghost1]

matt has a book that has been out for some time called 'chop shop' for guitar that is an extremely cool and practical source of great and usable guitar stuff

[@kengoodwin316]

Holy geez Matt you've always been a master! I will talk with you soon. LOVE LOVE LOVE that blues progression and ur follow notes So proud of your work Matt!

[@HotRodSixString]

This is perhaps the best guitar lesson you can ever learn if you want to solo . These moves are a staple of rhythm playing as well .

[@Mr.TakamineUSA]

Thanks Matt - I ALWAYS learn something I can use from you. You did a Takamine clinic at my store a few years back, it is good to see you again via KZbin!

[@lunalynd]

Thanks for posting this, I like your patience and demeanor good teaching.

[@mikestout8748]

That was awesome! I have watch a few of your videos because I want that guitar. But I love the way you play & I'm glad I found out that you exist.

[@carolbusbey9928]

i attended NGW several times but never had matt as a teacher. always enjoyed hearing him play. i can't wait to give this lesson a try.

[@fredandpattychandler4130]

I played violin with Dan Sherwin, and Matt Smith. Back in the roaring 90's. Did some shows in Albany NY, Clifton Park, NY. Dan was a solid singer performer, and Matt was an insightful player. Saw him and Tony Porreno open up for Frank Marino And Mahogany Rush, at Tigers in Clifton Park. In the early 90's. Nice to see, and hear Matt Smith again. Good luck, my friend.

[@shaynemelvin1]

That was just plain life changing!

[@markkindermannart4028]

Nice to hear the first nod went to Jimmy 'Guitar' Bryant. That man is an absolute dervish on the fretboard!! Great tips!!

[@marksstudio]

Without doubt the best guitar teacher ever.

[@pvjim]

Hairy troll fingers....Love it....Great lesson...Thanks

[@kingorbit]

all of this guys vids should have a million veiws. he is a fantastic teacher

[@davidrmorrison]

so simple and brilliant - thanks for opening up a new door.

[@oneseekingzen]

Matt, thanks so much for your excellent tutorials. You are one of the best teachers on youtube. Love your slide lessons...hope to see many more

[@wiard038]

Thanks Matt... I love the "old school" licks... I'm from the same small town as Jimmy Bryant, so his pickin' has always made an impression on me..! His brother, John, is a friend of mine..!

[@Amartay]

Been trying out slide every now and again for ten odd years. I've Learnt more in ten minutes by watching you

[@kungfuman82]

Is this the same Matt Smith that wrote "Speed: Guitar Technique Builder Series"? If so, I hope he reads this. I bought your book when I first started playing and I couldn't really appreciate it. I think I was way too much of a beginner in both mind and technique. I recently pulled it out again after a move and my speed has improved so much that I'm currently considering which Dream Theater song to learn! Thanks!

[@poppacooter]

we want more matt, what a fun teacher.

[@armandomartinez1149]

I like this guy. Funny and makes learning fun

[@andrewhaywardbannist]

That is brilliant Matt . . .have loved Django for years . . .and thats the trick . . .man . . .thank you so much . . .

[@motherlessblues1565]

Everyone is looking at the latest hot licks etc but I am often looking back at how it was done long ago ,,, like what matt shows here !! A gem

[@gibsoneer3211]

Matt I've been playin a long time, 64 yrs old. and that was very very sweet and logical thank you.

[@tomdesiena4632]

MATT, IT WAS VERY INTERESTING THAT I (with no knowledge) COULD FOLLOW WHAT YOU WERE SAYING. YOU KEPT MY INTEREST TOO...BOY HAVE THE TIMES CHANGED...CONGRATS !!!!

[@bobbelloff4588]

Holy Moses dude. What a lesson. I will RULE at the coffeehouse!

[@wadeolder7193]

Ha, The little 1/2 step chord runs at the end are great. Yes I'm going to use it at the jam tonight. LOL.

[@andrewgreen829]

Bloody brilliant, just stumbled across this guy looking for some new licks and hey presto

[@geetarism]

I got the beer, show me more!!!

[@C509NorthernTerritory]

What a great teacher, love it.

[@dirkmainz6019]

That's an interesting guitar, but it would help a lot if you used a guitar with position markers for your videos. Just saying. :)

[@stevearogge]

Matt. Thank you.

[@t-royanderson9666]

You are my hero! Thank You!

[@karisaisa]

Great, keep on bluesing man!

[@damonleo8011]

This sounds very Django-esque. Perhaps that's because it's a two finger lick and he could only use two fingers.

[@RueMorgue1841]

You aren't the Doctor...

[@SuperOlds88]

If the Sopranos series had a guitar instructor in it this guy would have been perfect for the part. He scares the hell out of me. But I can put up with it since all his videos are excellent.

[@neogeoriffic]

What guage strings do you prefer? Thanks!

[@TheLitschie]

its ovation t2078

[@mayrahernandez5453]

Can someone please tell me the name of that guitar? Appreciate it.

[@daddarioandco]

+Mayra Hernandez It's an Ovation Guitar

[@allfornoob]

wow!!this is awesome!!!!imma gonna learn that..

[@78tag]

I have listened to these older lessons and I am now listening to his newer "6 String Ranch" stuff. I have always enjoyed his relaxed style, the sound of his voice is much better than most and the simple "secrets" he shares are killer! My message to Matt is - You're The Man!!!

[@pipermac]

Wish someone could tab this out...

[@tombailey7277]

[@JeffMcDermott1]

Good job Matt. Check out my HOW TO MAKE A DOBRO FROM AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR.

[@prabhuslegalhub]

[@ericisotalo8766]

That was awesome! Especially your final comment!

[@ThaFacka]

Man, pay attention to your b string. It's ringing all the time.

[@19501960]

[@TheGhost5600]

Matt...I love your humor and great lessons...Thanks

[@RobbieR0XX]

excuse my hairy troll fingers !!! lol

[@guitarbluz62]

Brilliant, as always.... Thanks!

[@MrWeedpatch]

Matt, got to ask your thoughts on fingering. My old guitar teacher from the '50's didn't like my using 2 or 3 finger runs and for years I thought he was right and had to try and unlearn what I learned as a kid in Arizona. After watching your lesson and other really great pickers like Les Paul, Danny Gatton etc, I'm absolutely convinced there is no right way or wrong way. Watching your little lesson I'm thinking you guys are way smarter than my old teacher.
