Hello! David, You're just a brilliant teacher 👏 Mattie from Ireland, oh! to have someone like you 40years ago.😊😊

[@bryanpersaud9947]

David, you're the best guitar teacher on the Internet without exaggeration.

[@ccrider853]

True.

[@emlyngriffith5846]

I’m getting there…..I really am! 👍🍷

[@jimw7763]

Excellent! Well-explained, but a lot to unpack for me. I've got some work to do.

[@JoshuaTanzer]

This is a fabulous video! I think back to my teens and twenties when I THOUGHT I knew a lot about guitar and realize what a tiny amount I actually knew. What you describe here is eye-opening, and yet really quite a natural extension of the basics. I can't wait to get into it.

[@MikeWh]

Thank you very much. Cleared some cobwebs for me, you have a very clear teaching style.

[@jeanmarcciserchia8684]

Merci. 🤔🎶

[@LeeGesmer]

Long time fan via Truefire - just discovered this channel, and am thrilled to see more material here. You really get to stretch out and go into a lot more depth than Truefire, which I think is great! thank you!

[@delgdar]

Very nice! Well explained. Thanks.

[@jamesrolwing4810]

Great lesson, thank you, David!

[@hardyshmardy]

Very nicely explained, thank you! Those chord voicings look so easy - you make them look easy. I‘ll be working on this for a while, tho : )

[@ThomasHope73]

Brilliant teaching! 👌👏

[@michaelmckinney5645]

Love this video!

[@stringsurfer8827]

Exactly what I was looking for! Well done 👍

[@donaldrose5530]

Nice explanation. So great that you teach nuts and bolts of these blues and how it relates to jazz bits from a fingerstyle way. Thanks David****`

[@strappaplank6017]

rather fantastic, thank you

[@JohnCoughlan_JAC]

Awesome lesson! Great explanation and super cool sounding moves. :-)

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Great job..... Bruce Bedspring uses that chord E/g# in Born to Run

[@markcheltenham5515]

Thanks for such a clear explanation, I'd really like to learn the piece you play at the end to demonstrate all the chord subs in place - do you have tabs /sheet music for that? Thanks

[@ulfsvensson9710]

0Very interesting, as usual.

[@brianwright5917]

I know this has probably been asked many times... what year and model is that Martin?

[@mdyerlrb]

1956 00-18, Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides. It looked like that when he bought it.

[@edcrutchfield3447]

🤷🏾‍♂️I’m lost

[@jetwoman10001]

Hard to follow without tab for me.

[@lukesteverything627]

I think you are a great teacher but I struggle listening to you. The guitar is very clear but the drop in volume when you talk makes learning difficult. Is there any way you can get a bit more mids and treble on your vocals plus turn the volume up?

[@FretboardConfidential]

It's often a challenge to get the balance just right, and sometimes the vocal level dips when I'm looking down at the fingerboard because I hate wearing a lavalier mic and so am doing it all with one overhead mic and one mic on the the guitar. Also, for some reason the past couple weeks my usual settings for the mics and preamps got a little out of whack and I had made a few things and sent them to my editor before I realized what was going on. We did our best to tweak them but that was the best that could be done. It's an ongoing process to make everything as good as possible but sometimes things come out less than perfect :-).
