You have single handedly taken my guitar skills way above what thought I could do. Thank you so much, Andrew.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

I love hearing that. I appreciate you watching the channel 😁🙏🏻

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Massively agree with your first 3.

[@logjpg]

Suprised to see so few comments for such good production quality

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

I appreciate that :)

[@Lizzardking]

Thanks again Andrew, you are a great teacher and your videos are really well done!

[@PerishableDave]

Love the Ariel Posen album in the background, Headway is so good.

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

It's one of my favorite albums ever. Love all his stuff since as well. Thanks for watching!

[@Htbaa]

Gonna work on my vibrato! Guilty of making it come from my fingers and a terrible effort at that. Had to pause the video to make it come from the wrist and that feels a lot easier to pull off. Thanks!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

It's a tough habit to break! I'm still guilty of it at times. You got this! ☺

[@kunalsaha8636]

U really are the best thank you for making this type of videos

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Happy to help, my friend 🫡

[@TouchscreamPresents]

12:03 your videos are very motivating as well as informative Hope you keep it up 🤟

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 😀

[@NewLifeWithGuitar]

I only started learning how to play the guitar a little over six weeks ago & I'm documenting my entire journey on here so to this was super motivational even though I'm a good 3 or 4 years minimum away from being intermediate 😅

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Nice! Great idea for a channel. Keep up the good work :)

[@NewLifeWithGuitar]

@@andrewclarkeguitar Thanks a lot Andrew... and a bigger thanks for the great vids you put out!

[@mrmeeks85]

The Performaxe was one of the best gear purchases I've made. Back pain used to really limit my ability to play for long stretches

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

I had never heard of the Performaxe before. Looks very cool!

[@tonyfdesign]

Accuracy over speed. Preach brother. Preach!

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

It’s an important one for sure 🙌🏻

[@neuroradguy]

Nice ❤

[@andrewclarkeguitar]

Thanks!!
