Tony, asked my parents for guitar and lessons when I was young and they said no. So when I retired at 67 I bought a Yamaha from my local music store and booked lessons, loved it had a great instructor, then bought an Epihone Hummingbird, then an electric and now have a Taylor. (but still desire a Martin, which is a dream of mine) I have been playing for 3 years now and found your viideos online. Great Stuff... love them.

[@jerryrig4533]

Loneliness and hearbreak is why I picked up the gutair. She hasn't let me down.. lol Thanks for being you Tony I love your style.

[@GuitarME]

That was my reason too my friend. She’s a keeper 🎸

[@trichromatic5717]

Same here my brother stay strong and keep playing

[@robertjordan6571]

I picked up the guitar after retiring from the military and addressing my PTSD. I hadn't played in nearly 30 years and found it very relaxing. I really enjoy your videos, Friend.

[@GuitarME]

Thanks my friend! So glad you enjoy!

[@marvinmurray8499]

Just always loved guitar. Just wanna play what pleases me. Just play for myself. Love blues

[@darkwolf6704]

I played years ago. Picked it back up to better understand the instrument itself. I'm enjoying the blues and jazz. Learning how to play slide guitar.

[@GuitarME]

Awesome! Jazz is next level stuff! Always wanted to play slide too!

[@JohnsTake-cg3ss]

Wanted the ability to give others the feelings I experience when I hear great music.

[@GuitarME]

That’s a beautiful thing man!

[@StumblebumBand]

Hi Tony, I picked up the guitar at are 65 after retirement. I grew up in the heyday of the electric guitar. It’s sound always made me feel so awesome. I went on to became a lead singer/ frontman, and was always onstage with formidable guitar players. I was always closest in the band to the lead guitar player, kinda like a guitar fanboy. When I retired I felt like I finally had the time to learn my favorite instrument. I didn’t want to play like a hobbyist. I wanted to be GOOD!! I embarked on a mission. For five years now I play everyday for a few hours a day. I’m 69 now, and I want to get as good as I can in-the time I have left on this planet

[@biffa1234100]

BEST OF LUCK TO YOU BUDDY X you've probably got a lot longer than you think.

[@GuitarME]

Hey man! I’m sure with your commitment you will or already are sounding awesome. As we know the journey never ends, there will always be somewhere to go which is a great thing. We just need to be happy whilst getting there 🤘🎸😁

@@GuitarME thanks Tony! Live your lessons!

[@MichaelNelson.Songs_I_Sing]

Thanks for another banger of a lesson Tony! My first guitar was a gift from my wife on my 30th birthday a Norman b-18. I was totaly surprised and had never really thought of learning to play before that. I taught myself how to play mostly on youtube and with the help of some great musicians that I worked with at the time, Now 15 years later I have writen countless songs and still play everyday! I tell my wife it was the best gift anyone has ever given me, it is a life long hobby that I will enjoy as long as I am able to hold a guitar! Cheers!

[@GuitarME]

Aw man! That’s so amazing and your wife has given you such an amazing gift! I believe in fate!

[@graciemurphy1]

Another great tutorial Tony. Started at 60 one year ago. Took lessons but didn't have much luck or enjoyment. Something about your teaching has clicked and im learning a ton and enjoying it man. I live in Chicago and love our blues. Cheers I picked up the guitar because of wanting to play the songs of my guitar idols. John Lennon and Keith Richards

[@paulhendershott667]

I love your approach and simplicity of these rifffs! Wow! 😊

[@gerrylowrey1235]

For pleasure.

[@Rrazdaman]

Started playing drums around 1980, age 10. In highschool I learned a 2 string E-blues. 2 years later, I picked up chords and evolved from there. I have ended up with my own rythmic style of play, because I have so many drum/percussion things I want to bring into it. You can best hear it in the way I play in my latest videos “Ordinary things” & “Billie jean”. That was the answer to your Q. On a sidenote… Brilliant channel you got. Nice motivating and inspiring for developing my guitarplay. Also good energy around you. Good aura of devotion and enthusiasm (maybe spelled wrong). Keep it up. Thanks. Raz.

[@thq4941]

First picked up the guitar in the early 70's because I liked to sing and my sister could actually sing. There was a lot of inspirational music in my head in that era as well. A blues in E on an acoustic = magic. Cheers mate.

[@GuitarME]

Thanks man! That’s so cool you played music with your sister! 🤘🎸🎶

[@georgeonderdonk6206]

Please ignore those with critical suggestions like "You should use open instead of zero". Your the teacher and I've heard it both ways. It like some say "root" and some say "tonic" ; they mean the same thing..I'd tell my student, if your hear to learn, then learn that there are oftentimes several correct ways to say anything, and they should thank me for expanding thier horizons! I've played rhythm guitar for 50+ years..just learned music theory a few years ago...now leaning lead...I LOVE your videos and learn a lot, quickly! Thank you.

[@GuitarME]

Thank you! I tend to delete any negativity rather than give it energy but 99% of comments are lovely ones like this :) Glad to hear you are passing in your knowledge to others. You sound like a very cool guy! Thanks for watching my friend Tony

[@ParlorMan_Acoustic_Guitar]

Hi Tony, I picked up the guitar at 13 years old after watching The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan show. I knew at that moment that I wanted to be a guitar player. I’ve been playing and performing for almost 60 years now. I enjoy your videos and find something new in them. Never stop learning!

[@GuitarME]

Wow! That’s so cool! Nice to hear about those life changing moments and probs a few more like you who were just as inspired by the same show!

[@ParlorMan_Acoustic_Guitar]

@@GuitarME Thanks for the kind words Tony.

[@MrXyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

I love singing (especially British & Irish folk) and I've had an acoustic guitar hanging around for years. After moving cities I got in with a crowd that regularly meet up to sing songs from a songbook with chords. a few friends could play the guitar accompanyment and I wanted to be able to do that too, and also play/sing other songs that I love. Turned out a good move as the other guitarists are now parents or have moved away, and I'm the guy with the guitar most often at the singalongs!

[@3rdalbum]

So simple but sounds great

[@GuitarME]

Thank you! :)

[@bruceottenbrite1230]

Picked up the guitar at age 50. Something I had always wanted to do. A few years later and I'm writing and recording my own music. Surprised myself. Who knew I had it in me?

[@GuitarME]

That’s amazing Bruce! I know how you feel! Learning an instrument can show us that we are capable of anything if we are consistent 🤘

[@Dariog-i2k]

Do you wanna be in my band?

[@anthonyrancourt2131]

The first time I picked up the guitar, 7 years ago, I just wanted something to be cool. It didin't last and I stopped. Then, 3 years agi I took it just to play by myself and be creative. I never stopped since and I keep learning everyday 🤟

[@MikeKing-wj6sr]

Because I love the blues and country music... and was board as fook during lockdown 😂😂

[@DannyHustle]

The songs needed to get out of my head and live somewhere else-The Chicks were pure serendipity. The guitar/music is why I could procreate-and not die a virgin. God bless the 🎸 ❤😂😂

[@kevinswierzbiolek4966]

Retired and home bound due to permanent injury, great way to keep mind and hands active

[@GuitarME]

It’s a great therapy Kevin. Hope you are well my friend!

[@rialobran]

I picked up the guitar because my father, who had reasonable success in a touring band, would never teach me. So I bought a guitar and taught myself, that was 40 years ago. You do a great job, I only wish the internet had been around back then.

[@GuitarME]

Thank you man! Well I’m glad you took the initiative to learn 🤘 happy jamming my friend :)

[@Bananas41]

Hi tony , i started playing the guitar in my twenties so i could play in a band ,but only really played rhythm and was limited , then for the last ten years fell away from it , but back on it regularly for the last year and starting to progress my playing skills for recording and just having fun , i love writing songs and can now add so much to them musically as i start to undersand the freboard for licks and nice runs to compliment my chords

I played 60 years ago. Now that I'm 72. I want to play again.

[@AndrewGray-t9c]

Because I always loved the sounds it made, especially growing up with Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Trower, Gallagher, Buchanan, Pena, DeLucia, Beck etc. Now I'm retired I just want to be the best player I can and play stuff I love listening to. Thanks Tony from a Scaussie, born in Glasgow but living in Oz. Love your work man. Nowadays I listen to Guthrie Govan, Ana Vidovic, Derek Trucks, Tommy Emmanuel and so many others.

[@GuitarME]

Thanks man! Yes they are some very inspirational people and I am with you on that! Thanks for watching man! Really appreciate it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺🦘

[@2696ize]

Something I always wanted to do. Have played harmonica for many years. I'm in my 60's and I do believe God led me to it. I play on the worship team at my Church, and I love every minute of it. And I especially enjoy the Blues. And I agree with you that playing the blues is a great way to become a good player, with diverse textures. Thanks for your tutorials Tony, they really help !

[@lukesteverything627]

I've been catching up with your vids after a break away. Great stuff Tony, I really appreciate your work.

Nice lick enjoyed the lesson sounds good and nice groove my first guitar was a Kramer electric with a fender M-80 amp wanted to play metal times change that was in mid 80s now I play Martin Acoustic mostly but I do have a tele and an amp too

[@GuitarME]

Thanks man! Yeah my style has changed too. Love a Martin too as you can probs tell :)

[@2696ize]

Another great lesson Tony. Thank you !

[@GuitarME]

You are very welcome my friend

[@richardstones6445]

I started playing guitar in my teens and played for about 25 years. I played in a few bands, playing mostly local taverns and such. Of course the reason I wanted to play guitar is because chicks dig guitar players.🙂 I stopped for nearly 30 years, and then picked it back up after I retired at 67 and I've been having a blast re-learning this amazing instrument.

My daughter had taught herself to play the guitar so when I retired I decided to surprise her when we next met for Christmas by teaching myself to play a few chords so we could play together.

[@jackstow8411]

Thanks so much! I'm working on "One horse town" by BlackBerry Smoke and this run is similar to the ones he makes in that song. Your lessons often cross practically to songs I'm working on!

[@Thundermuscle]

I think I play that one in. C. It's a pretty easy lick. Great song too from a great band.

[@papajahko7121]

Ha !……. My first guitar was an old nylon string acoustic that I picked up in a charity shop in the mid 70s……when I eventually learned how to tune it by ear (sort of) I still hadn’t a clue how to play chords (nae KZbin in them days)…. But !..the first tune that I made up started almost exactly as the one in this lesson !……have written a ton of songs n riddims over the years now but still consider myself a crap guitar player ! 😂 Love yer channel boss ! 👍❤️

[@GuitarME]

Hahaha thank you man! As long as you are having fun and you enjoy it that’s the main thing eh? I bet you are better than you are making out 😎 I’m talking to Jimmy Page in disguise 🥸

@@GuitarME Am Mair Jimmy Crankie than Jimmy Page ! 😅. But aye….I can hud a tune 👍

[@mynameisjoshua]

I actually didn't pick up the guitar at first - a friend of mine, who I thought was one of the coolest people I had ever met, played BASS. His dad had just bought him a new bass so he gifted me his old one. I started teaching myself how to play but I quickly realized that I'm a singer/songwriter and the bass just didn't have the range I needed for the songs that I was writing. So I borrowed an old guitar from my father and taught myself how to play. So for me, picking up the guitar was all about writing music.

[@GuitarME]

I Love that! If you can use the guitar as a creative tool it is a wonderful thing. I am glad you have that joy in your life 🤘🎸❤️

[@jack-dy7cx]

Love it tony

[@terrywhite3526]

I ask my mum and dad for a guitar at 14 and they said it would be another fad and would end up in a cupboard with my judo suit, then at the age of about 18 I was going along to jam sessions and asking guitarists to learn songs to perform as I am a singer, every week I would turn up eager and every week I would get shot down so on the on the 3rd week I bought a guitar and decided to back myself... 🎸❤

[@al5baggie937]

It would be helpful to be told when something like this might “fit” with other stuff

[@67ratsrule]

I learned because my mom played then she taught me when I was 14.

[@janetfitzgerald9752]

I’m a harmonic player/singer, who picked up the guitar because I was tired of dealing with egomaniac guitar players in bands.

Would be so much better if your lessons would tell us what Key you're playing in and the Scale numbers rathe than just put your fingers on these frets.
