After the stroke, fortunately, I was forced to change my priorities. Long story short, my guitars spent more time collecting dust than being played. “Success,” within this context, is the opiate of the human spirit, whereby one can easily forget the awesome pleasure + peace that even a guitar-hack such as me experiences when playing. After graduating from University, I cut my hair and spent the next 25+ years killing myself in pursuit of money and status – everything I hated. Nevertheless, I continued to play because I loved it - no matter how bad I sounded. At the time, I was a fun-loving rocker w/the heart of Eric Clapton but zero natural talent. BACKDROP to help you can better understand my gratitude: I first picked up the guitar when I was about 17-years old, circa 1978. The stroke also caused some cognitive impairment, primarily sequential processing. For example, I cannot hold a cup of coffee in my left hand without spilling the contents etc. Two years ago I had a stroke which severely impaired the left side of my body i.e. I wanted to send you a quick note thanking you for making a meaningful contribution to increasing the quality of my life. I teach over 700 students a week, so just know that about 700 Korean students are benefiting from your site as well as me!Īnyway, thanks for all the hard work with making these videos- it’s much appreciated! It’s thanks to your site that I’m able to learn these songs. It’s fun for the kids, fun for me, and we all learn English through music. I sometimes bring my guitar into my English classroom, and I play the guitar for the kids while we learn and sing English songs. I am still using your website to learn some of the songs with simpler lyrics. I’m actually living in South Korea now, and am teaching English as a foreign language to Korean students. When I was living in the states, my brother played piano with me and we’d print out your lyrics with chords and he’d improv the piano part while I learned the guitar part using your excellent videos. I went from being discouraged to being able to play fun songs, learn barre chords, and overall have fun with the guitar.

Thank you so much for this site! Finding this site really has inspired me ever since I found it about a year and a half ago to learn guitar. Thank you for the enjoyment you give us all. If you can’t, it doesn’t matter, it is already extra. If you can and legally laugh, it wouldn’t be bad to insert the lyrics of the songs in karakoke format into the video, with the possibility of turning off your singing. You give a lot of pleasure to many lovers of good music and especially guitar. I endlessly enjoy watching and practicing your user friendly and perfect tutorials.
YOUTUBE HEY JUDE CHORDS MARTY PROFESSIONAL
If your channel existed in the 70’s, maybe I would even become a professional musician ? Not only I am restoring forgotten but I am also learning new songs and that is mostly thanks to your youtube channel. I decided to renew my long-lost knowledge and pleasure of playing the guitar as an older man. As a young man I played guitar but unfortunately I stopped playing it for 40 years. It was a good journey and held me in good stead for composing my own material.I am 65 years old. Learning that stuff was an education, and I soon realised what an underrated guitarist Paul Simon was. so many different styles to take in, and learning classics like that for me was rewarding.įrom there I went on to stuff like Simon & Garfeunkel as I wanted to learn finger style properly. The good thing with learning the Beatles stuff was that it was so varied in material. Learning other peoples stuff isn't a crime and can teach you discipline amongst other things.

I then invested more sheet music books by other artists and did the same thing. I worked through that book untill i had learned everything in it except for songs like Blackbird, and Yesterday, as I was still learning finger style and couldn't do that yet.

but it also taught me a lot of very useful stuff, like chord shapes, reading basic sheet music, time signatures, key signatures, etc. It taught me that sheet music is often written in a different key to the record, that the chord positions are wrong, it taught me a lot of bad stuff. I then sat down with the book, and the records and learned everything in it.

My first guitar was a 3/4 size acoustic and for my birthday my sister gave me the Complete Beatles song book.
