    I bought my guitar a couple of weeks ago and then watched soooo many videos which made me ask myself if I had made a mistake. But when I came across your videos and once again had hope. I'm 68 and grew up during a time when the best music of all time was and still is here. I never intended to be Jimi Hendrix or Joe Bonamossa, but just to be able to play something that would make someone say " I know that song!" Your 1 string songs have made that happen! Pure genius! My goal is to learn House of the Rising Sun by The Animals. Thanks again from a devoted follower.

    This is great advice for beginners, and EXACTLY how I started learning to play guitar over 40 years ago. He is basically playing the 1st (root or bass) notes for each song, and not the actual full chords. Now..... if you take your pinky and add a 5th note one string down and 2 frets down from the root note, you have a "power chord." Add a little distortion on the electric guitar and you are off and jamming.. This will work for most of these songs, and hundreds more, and is actually the way most rock and metal songs are played. Then it is on to learning full chords of 3 notes or more. Oh yeah, then those pesky lead scales....lol. It takes a lot of time and practice to become very proficient at the guitar, but this lesson is a great place to start.

      @D B Cooper You are welcome. I am still here, and I am always glad to help an up and coming fellow guitarist. I have been playing, teaching, gigging and luthering since I was 12 years old (I am 53 now). The day I stop playing guitar will be the day I die (I hope anyway). There are actually lot of good guitar players and instructors on You Tube. Unfortunately, most of them are here to show off, brag about their million dollar guitar collections or confuse people by teaching with, and selling, over complicated music theory lessons (theory is really not that hard to understand with a little effort). If you want to follow some very knowledgeable and proficient guitar players/teachers, check out Rick Beato or Steve Stine. There is also an amazing young lady guitar player on You Tube that is a great teacher as well. Her name is Ayla Tesler-Mabe. Her channel is called "Guitareo." Some people call Ayla the "Bob Ross" of guitar teaching because she is so soft spoken and patient. Keep on playing and don't give up. It can be frustrating at times, but the more you practice and the better you get, the more you will WANT to play. Take care and keep on jammin'. 🎸🎵🎸🎼🎸

It may not feel good like learning simple songs like these. My point is you will forget those little songs in days or weeks of not playing, yet chords will stay in you because you use them all the time in all of the song in the world. Thats why i Disliked😊

    My man.....you taught me how to play my 1st song. By FAR the best teacher on YT. You take time to really teach and talk to US like the beginners we are. You are truly a God send. Much respect and love. I haven't watched all your videos YET....but will you please teach a few Bob Marley songs...for beginners. Thanks and love.

      Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. Stick at it, it is a slow process for all guitarists at the start. I'll put some bob marley on the list of songs to do.

    Thank you Mike, I’ve always wanted to learn how to play guitar. This past weekend I was able to get my first guitar, I decided on an electric guitar it’s so beautiful!!!
    I’m in my mid 40’s, totally disabled... also I figured it’ll help me with my arthritis by building my hand muscles back up.
    I was getting discouraged with my not so great playing then I saw this video of yours, I couldn’t believe it I was actually playing. You gave me hope knowing I can play even if it’s just a tad. I’m moving on to the second part. Thank you so much 😝🎸

    I have created dozens and dozens of original songs playing this way. I never thought I would be able to play guitar, but playing in this way has enabled me to add guitar to my repertoire. So if anybody is feeling discouraged about learning guitar, I can confirm that it is possible to create music without having to learn how to play chords or use all of your fingers. I have been playing this way for about four years and this is the first time I have seen anyone else play this way. I don’t feel as much of a weirdo now. 😃

      I started out with these one finger one string songs too, nothing beats playing something and having it sound right for the first time! May I suggest, learning multiple strings and fingers, learn something you know by heart already,, I spent a lot of my first summer playing learning Christmas songs. That helped me a lot!!!

    I’m so glad I found this, I’m knew to learning, I have a hard time remembering chords let alone transitioning . so just doing something simple like this that sounds like familiar music I know is really encouraging. This is great practice just to learn how to move up and down from fret to fret.
