    Carl you really need to take a moment and look at one of your first posted videos. From 2010-Now you have been an absolute legend, hero, and mentor to the whole guitar community. I appreciate you, man.

    Thanks Carl, I am an old man trying to learn guitar and your lesson on Imagine was great...Clearly explained and the visuals are very helpful. I admire how you can describe the where the fingers and what fingers are placed where without getting tongue tied. Well done. mal

    Dear Carl, Id like to take this opportunity to thank u for all the teaching activities. I really love ur American accent too. In the country were I live theres no chance to get a credit card so Iv got to watch and follow ur free videos. So far Iv learnt lots of things as Nothing else matter by metalica. Thanks again and wish u good luck

    Hi Carl, looking for some inspiration I found your channel and subscribed. A real gem in the often confusing UA-cam jungle. Watched randomly some of your videos. Song selection and style of teaching are great - no tabs which forces use of eyes and ears and focus instead on the nuances of dynamics, vibrato, etc. plus your playing and tone are always first class.
    As always there are some haters here. They must be jealous, no other explanation possible. I am a fan and will spread the word. Cheers :-)

    yes, you press all the strings in the fret down with your index finger making a bar, and then you just add your other fingers into the chord as needed. it is pretty tricky at first but once you get the hang of it, it will be the most useful chord formation you will know. Its also handy because you can use it practically anywhere on the fret board. I hope this helped and if you have anymore questions i would be more than happy to answer them for you.

I perform now, as my vocals are very good...much better than 80% out there...But thats whats helping me hold my own! My vocals. My guitar is limited to strumming or fingerpicking all major/minor and barre chords...So NOW, I'm backtracki g and learning scales, and THIS HELPS A LOT!! ❤❤ TY TY TY!! SUBBED!! Can you do some more 70s and 80s? Like Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, Journey, Seger, Frampton, etc?? TY AGAIN!!!

    Hi! Excellent tutorial. Just what I noticed, while playing the chorus as the hold the A minor chord, how about hitting the fifth string instead of the sixth? I personally found it better.
    Again, thumbs up for this tutorial. I learnt the song all thanks to you (y). Might post a video response!

    Excellent lesson. It would be more helpful if you sang, read, hum the lyrics so we can Identify where these notes belonged. Also, if you could identify how many counts per chord (some were 6 counts) it would help a lot. Finally, please identify all chords by name so we can follow along. Thanks for the excellent lesson.
