    My first comment, to support your great channel ;-) I am a ukulele beginner and thought this guitar-based video might not be relevant to me. But once I realized the chords are all familiar (and thank goodness F is easy on the uke!) I could follow along here too. Thank you for your encouraging, helpful support, it's a pleasure to learn with you.

    Hello, I have watched many of your videos. You take the time to benefit (older people like me ) to enjoy guitar playing again. Had a severe injury and could not play the guitar for almost 30 years. With your great lessons, I'm getting much better. Love the fact that you mention the importance of relaxing, I know now that relaxation and practicing are so important. Keep up the great work You have a beautiful smile and a calmness that all of us admire. Best Regards.

      Your explanations are very easy to follow, for someone who's only had a guitar 3 weeks.
      Other videos go way too fast and assume that everyone has fingers like E.T. 🙈

    Dear Bernadette, I was enchanted by your velvety way of teaching, with an angelic calm voice, decorated with a wonderful smile. You explain wonderfully and show a simple way of playing. You have a truly enormous, unique gift for this. It makes me want to listen to you, watch you and play with you. I have been playing the guitar as an amateur for couple of years. I have always liked the song Hotel California by The Eagles and it put me in a good mood and somehow I never get bored. I used to play it in a different way, but in this lesson of yours I played it with you with these simple chords and it sounds pure and beautiful. I am writing to you from a country on the Vistula River in Europe called Poland. Do not stop in your efforts to teach playing the guitar. You bring peace and harmony to the viewers. Of course I have subscribed to your channel. With my best regards.
