Your style makes a song so learnable - very Agile approach! Start small and brief, inspect your outcome and adjust, and build on that. So simple! Took me back my days learning the cornet in youth band. Thank you so much!!

[@wired_0402]

The pace, the content, the breakdown of this song… fantastic. Just the job, thank you!

[@nikkiduprey9115]

Thank you! I have to agree with the other comments, your tutorial style is the best I’ve ever seen. Camera angles, tab overlay w/highlights showing where you are, you’re very, very clear and slow just where it’s needed, I could go on and on I am grateful to have found you (PS Bonus that this my favorite NY song and I will now play it better than ever!) You rock!

[@AnthonyLee-Poet]

[@valerina7251]

Just for my first acoustic guitar from my father in law who plays. I always wanted to play, but my parents never got me one growing up, and they never believed i could learn. I was about to buy one when my in law said he had another one. I'm so happy and excited to learn. It seems to late for me at my age, but why not. This is my fav song by Neil, and I've always wanted to learn it..I hope I can learn from this man. I like how he explains everything. I was looking at a couple of people online, and his lesson is best.

[@redwatch.]

Fun lesson for beginners

[@arqpiocidarqpiocid5431]

Excelent!!! Many thanks

[@motioninmind6015]

I like this way of teaching and learning songs. I wish more instructors would first go through the basic chord and strum structure of songs and then progressively add layers of complexity. A lot of rolling Stones songs would be much easier to learn like this, for example.

[@phillipharrell7692]

Very easy to understand

[@LichtenfelsAndre]

Thank you, very cool! Best Regards from Thuringa ( Germany) Andreas

[@ronen116]

Great Work !! i will happy for "With you without you. U2" arrangement ! thanks.

[@lonelycake4114]

[@douglasmccannpiano]

its gonna take alot of love

[@tommaso1savoia]

I was able to play this riff, but not smooth, now from the simple version I'm trying to build a good advanced version, a technique I can use also with other songs. My major problem is to remain in the strumming pattern. Tank you, thank you, thank you

[@s_s5976]

Behold the perfect guitar teacher on yotube 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

Having a guitar that plays so well also helps, really beautiful sound! 😉 Which strings do you use?

[@GijiSeema]

Very good teacher u r because u teach very slowly so everyone one can learn all the tab and strumming I like it I am from Texas keep it can u teach some Jim Reeves song. P.ercious lord take my hand that’s my request

[@morphorhetenor1390]

Exactly!

[@brucemitchell5784]

mr potts is a good teacher

[@user-ww8bk9nn1i]

heyyy talented!!! i would love if you save some time for take a look at "perfectly wrong" by shawn mendes. its a soft song wich i personally think goes perfect with guitar.

[@hfg1293]

Thank you, I’ve been playing the guitar on and off for about two years, watching this video, I’ve learned more and had more fun than the last two years. You have a new subscriber.

[@antoniojose4110]

[@makersoul3541]

Can somebody give the the chords for the other parts according with this riff's tab? Thank you anyone and really great job!

[@benjaminfranklin8382]

Can you please make a guitar with a fretboard that is a flat panel TV so that I can watch a video of your hand transitions directly on my guitar?

[@dimitriosstefanakis1384]

Is it possible to do glen Campbell’s Wichita lineman?

[@heiges74]

if you take the a minor out along with the g, I thin it sounds better

[@imannonymous7707]

Its a good habit to alernate pick all the time it helps the listener feel the time and its just propper technique.. dont ask why...trust me lol

[@sonauhrikova7596]

Can I play it in standard tuning? Thanks 🙏🏻

[@gunsofsteele]

Oh great!? Now where did I put my truss rod allen?
