[@timwilson755]

love the song and the lesson but would really help to include the strumming patterns on the website (you seem to be using a few different ones here and its a little hard to pick up from the diagram on the video) :)

[@lukalukin4177]

Hi man . I’ve searched a lot around internet. U have the best videos to play songs. Much more convenient than any others

[@jmmacb03]

I've enjoyed your tutorials for years. I love that you sing AND that you show the chords and play it through right off the bat. Cheers, in these crazy times. ☮

Hi, I have been playing on and off since I was about 15 but only with real dedication for the last 8 - 10 years. The first year or so is the most difficult as the guitar has such a steep learning curve; things will click with practice (I am not a natural player). Playing along to the original recordings is a great way of learning rhythms just don't pick anything too tough to start with. I wish you all the best. Cheers. Alan :)

[@timothywahlberg4015]

I came here for the guitar lesson, was impressed even more by your voice !

[@guitartutorman]

Thank you Timothy :)

I don't know if you will ever read this but you taught me my first full song. I hope to preform it some day. All thanks to you. Thank you so much for your amazing tutorials dude. I hope,your channel keeps on growing - A happy guy

[@michiel20]

Best way to learn a song, you can easily play allong, and that's how you learn fastest. Not with endless chatting like martyzwartsch does...

[@guitartutorman]

Thank you Michiel :)

[@lewryGrant]

totally agree .not one to slag anyone else off but it had to be said man.

[@GerardoPradoSegura]

he is really good but that much chatting distracts a lot

[@maya-hx7xf]

Michiel Depoortere I couldn’t agree more oml

[@prandz420]

some people like to be talked through things especially learning licks for playing lead. Talking not as necessary for strumming rhythm. Love alan robinsons style though

[@kaffeine69]

This is exactly how I needed to see it in order to learn it with the frets and the chords with finger placement

[@guitartutorman]

All the best with it :)

[@guitartutorman]

Thank you for your kind words and support, they are greatly appreciated :)

[@altizzy]

I love bowie and picked my electric guitar up to learn this song and the man who sold the world. Ive never owned an acoustic, so I bought one today and have been watching your videos all day. Youve inspired me. Your voice is awesome and youre an excellent teacher! Thank you!!

[@guitartutorman]

Thanks for your very nice comment, I really appreciate your support, Best wishes with your playing :)

[@ZAAXADAU]

Wow. You're performance here absolutely blew me away. I just put my guitar down after a second and listened the whole way through, a first for me when watching tutorials. Speaking of which yours are the greatest! Exactly the way that I learn best by. Thank you and keep it up!

[@rhodeley1545]

It’s amazing how powerful them two simple opening chords can be

[@SHAZZAM123455]

I noticed this song sounds a lot better on a 12-string guitar... Fantastic video... thanks!

[@guitartutorman]

Cheers mate. As you say, the F chord is the only real challenge in this song (it has a pretty slow rhythm). Best of luck with it and thanks for your support. Alan :)
