You are a great man if you know it or not. No other guitar tutor online puts this much effort to simplify lessons for the viewers(and also for free👍).

I really like it that you say this is something that will take time, and that it took you a long time of practice to get it fast. It gives me hope. This is an excellent tutorial, really clear to follow.

thank you for your time and effort to share your knowledge and music, appreciate it very much :)

[@TheDeadsilent]

You're awesome dude. Havent gotten around to my guitar in a little while but still like to keep up with the channel and make sure I support you great work! Keep it up

[@El-hj7ew]

Don't mind me, just making timestamps for myself: 3:58 7:10 9:25

[@maureenmueller1251]

Yes, please do a full acoustic version of Sweet Child O’Mine! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this. Ive watched so many tutorials on how to play this song and it just didnt work out for me. So, I came across your youtube tutorial and it was the best thing I have ever watched. Thank you again. Great job!

Bro i can not express how much you helped me, u srsly did not use like the 1000th fret and you did it on standard tuning, hats off to you, i am standing up while writing this comment to show respect for you thx soo much

[@user-ro8kr3xt8p]

...you my friend are an amazing teacher.I know very well that it took a lot of your time to prepare this video...it needed patience and passion too...I sincerely thank you for all your contribution.!!

I'm going to master this ❤️ I got the chords, this is all I needed. Thank you for this approach

You make it so easy!! Thank you so much 💓

[@rebeccaconway5991]

Thank you so much it took me a while to learn, but now it's really fun. I can understand how much time and effort must be spent on something like this. Never have I seen a guitar tutor online do this for free and simplify it.

[@afiqqu486]

Finally...I can play sweet child o mine...thank you so much bro...love you from Malaysia🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

[@christopheryounggnomery3761]

[@shapeshifter2007]

Great job. You make it simple enough for simple folks to understand and do.

[@livinindubai]

Hi David; this is my fav Sweet Child O' Mine tutorial! Thanks for putting this up. Even though i can play i feel like it does sound as nice as yours. Hopefully in the coming months i can match that!

[@HK-db4ul]

That was so beautiful I cried

Cool tutorial, thanks a lot!

Fantastic. Thank you

[@johnkalnas4607]

This guy is awesome!!!

Once upon a time whence drunkard my friend showed me how to play painted black. I had never played a guitar before I learnt that 22 years ago within about 2 hours I still remember it now and my friend said I should continue but instead I continued drinking. This is the first time in 22 years I have tried again to play guitar I have learnt this in 3 hours just have slight timing issues which I can iron out. Really impressed myself I can pick it up so quickly. My sister plays by ear on piano and guitar and is brilliant at both but I unfortunately don't have that ability. You should see me dance my I look as cumbersome as yogi bear on iceskate. Big thanks for adding this video I have to fill the void that alcohol left in me. Note to all scrumpy isn't latin for nutritious little apples.

[@red4life848]

Well done 🇮🇪✌️

Still at it Steve?

[@jabezjoshua710]

[@MansiPabari]

Thank you for sharing this. It's the best one i've found for a simplified version on an acoustic guitar. Do you also have a video for the rest of the song? Would love that!

[@miguelalvarado1440]

Thanks Dude! I'll practice this riff!!!! Do you uploaded the whole song? That would be GREAT!!!! #KeepOnRockin'

[@marianasbarros]

thank you!

Thank you very much song notes I can do this all

That's a completely different way to how I was taught. I do a lot more finger movements. But you make it look so effortlessly. Not sure if I could play it that way now especially being taught the way I have been. Great video

Just came across this. I can finger pick this style so I will give it my best shot. I should get there. Many thanks fron Bonnie Scotland 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

How was it??

Hey man, lovin your work!! I have just started out with guitar and am really struggling with getting the rhythm of strumming. Can you suggest any of your lessons to get this under way?

[@farhadox1960]

thank's sir!

[@dylanwang4290]

Thanks

I want to hear a lesson of full song! there isn't any satisfying tutorial on YT, do please do IT, you are the best!

Maybe also worth mentioning that 2nd 'bass note' is an E rather than a C in the original riff. Great version for acoustic guitar by the way.

[@rozytabuti8664]

Wow awesome :)

Nice man ...teach us how to do the full song

[@ime.tdontputmeinthumbnails1973]

I'm a begginer with a guitar to big for me and every time I try to play notes my other fingers hit the other strings what do I do

I had the same problem and this has improved with practice. They say you master anything with 10,000hrs of practice however I was born with saveloy fingers...

[@egebasar6513]

Wow 🙋🙋🙋🙋

[@lexmanaaa]

The solo part pls

is it okay to play it with a plectrum?

I cant use Paypal, can we connect on a call would like to pay you monthly to teach me more with video lessons? \

So you could capo up and get closer too!

If you want an easier way of not moving your middle finger everywhere. You can use your thumb to cover it E AND A string

no… you can’t

[@Omarpenaloza041590]

You put too much cream to the tacos

[@bellacameronni7412]
