Hi, I'm Mark and I've been teaching and playing guitar professionally for 26 years now, and I've picked up a lot of insights along the way; things I wish I had known when I started out. That's why I started this channel - to share this knowledge with you.
But this is more than just a place to learn guitar. It's also place where you can hang out, relax, be yourself, get support, make friends and get inspired to have more fun with your guitar.
So go ahead. Pick up your axe. Hit play. And be a better guitarist.

Thanks for watching!

It's people like you who help in so many ways! I'm 32 years old and have never understood Guitar…I tried but I just couldn't do it. At least I thought I couldn't. I was in a cover band with 5 guys and they were a bunch of jerks. I said I wanted to be more than just a pretty face singer and that I was going to learn guitar and play on stage along with them for shows but the Guitarist told me I would only mess things up. So I went home and told myself no more giving up because now I felt something to prove. It's been about 3/4 months and I've devoted spending hours a day watching videos and practicing. Despite the hurt fingers! I got past that…But because of your generosity sharing your knowledge and talent along with other Guitarists, I'm so much further a head and things are making sense now. I will be on my way to playing on stage ALONE very soon here. I am a subscriber and without a doubt I will continue to watch your videos! Thank you from Las Vegas!
+Mark TheGuitarGuy Complete gratitude here, as I'm sure the rest of the viewers feel the same. I actually really enjoy this 6/8 strum pattern, it's really pretty when you mix up the chords within it as you said. Thanks for reply and I will enjoy every chord!! :)
Thanks Mark I appreciate that! For sure I'll be checking that video out. Right on!
I love your comment!
Brilliant Nielle, I hope you're getting on well. I have given up twice due to jerky or just plain incompetent teachers. Finding Mark is a huge relief.
i think the guitarist was threatened by you learning!
Hey man, I've been using youtube to learn guitar for 3 years it'll be in january. you rock man. you rock. seriously. this is the best freaking channel. just keep going. keep going.
God bless you, Mark. I am a beginner and with thousands of teachers around here in YT I am grateful I found you. God bless you for sharing your GIFT. Hats off to you.
You can actually teach weak student like me. Very clear, informative and I like the teaching style too.
+Mark TheGuitarGuy You are a fantastic musician.. Best Regards-Michael.Sreepuram
As a soundman for 30+ yrs,I just recently purchased my first guitar and amp.These lessons are great.My friends are impressed by how quickly I have picked up technique.Thanks Mark
From one Mark to another, thank you very much for this. 😊
Mark, by far you have been the best guitar instructor. I am looking forward to enjoy every single training video of yours. Thank You.
Gonna try this pattern with accents to "I Loved Her First" -- Heartland -- for my daughter's wedding in October; so lots of time to get it right. I'm told tempo is ~68 bpm. Wish me luck. Self-taught over past four years but have no sense of rhythm so it all sounds the same whatever the strum pattern. I (mostly) despair.
Yes, have looked around for good demo on 6/8 & yours is one I can grapple with. Thanks...aiming for Celtic sound on mandolin.
Mark, your strumming series has been great and this one really helped. thanks Kev
Fantastic Australian accent Mark. Good lesson.
There is a reason why no one dislikes your videos mate. You are doing a great job!
The 6/8 does work fine, well done. Also a slowly picked 4/4 picking pattern will work nicely for that song.
well done Mark.you are a great teacher . thanks
the best thing about videos are they are short and precise. unlike many others, you get straight to the point and stay on track. ALL of your videos are very informative, not boring, amazing and most importantly encouraging. thanks, the guitar guy. :) keep rocking, tic-tocking :p
WOW! Thank you Mark for sharing what you know about guitar.
You have a great way of setting me at ease. I am a beginner and in my mid 60's but have been playing since January of this year and it's first of August.
Hardest part so far is relaxing my strumming wrist so I really sound very hard and not smooth.
But I will keep working on it and watching your videos.
Again thank you for sharing and giving your time to teaching.
Thats very kind and good to know. I initially was more concerned with the actual strumming part, assuming people would just use whatever chords they liked. But I will include that in further lessons when it's appropriate my friend :)
Welcome aboard my friend. I'm putting togethjer an 'Advanced Strumming' Series...so I will cover a lot of the things that are a little funkier
Will do, and also might be putting some cool song lessons up soon.
Very nice teaching Mark. Thank you so much.
brilliant strumming pattern Mark,.really enjoyed this video pal,. Thanks so much
Awesome, I love the way you also explain the variations one can do. Thanks again!
thank u soo much to teaching this kind of things that using professional guitarists.. when i hear ur lessons i feel like now i can do this. guitar playing is like and meditation , and with good teacher it's much better . thank u again to giving us this kind of such a great lessons ..
I'll be doing a session on beginners fingerstyle, covering the main patterns, nd hopefully that'll help out a lot of people. Loving the comments and appreciate you taking the time to say:)
Thanks a lot Mark. Ur patterns are a great help for beginners like me.
I've been struggling with this until now. One watch and I can nail it. Thanks.
Learning 'Dear John' - Taylor Swift, and just couldn't work out the 6/8 strumming pattern, thank you so much for this video! You've helped a new guitarist towards playing his first song, and I'm sure many to come!
Thank you for your demonstration. This is what I have been looking for. It's clear enough for someone who doesn't know the music theory or what the 6/8 exactly means.
Hi Mark,
Greetings from Ireland. Thanks for the videos. Can you also mention in your lessons on strums etc which songs would benefit from the use of the pattern you are teaching. Thanks again.
Mark... pleased to find your strumming tuition and been practicing like mad... can not believe the sudden impact! Grateful, thanks a lot!
They are what I call the 'Dave Mathews' chords that he uses in 'Crash'. It's from an original of mine called 'Once in a Lifetime'. The chords are all open E with a moving base note. E/G#, A, C#m, B, E/G#, A, B, B, ...I'll do a lesson on the actual song and its chords I think. Such pretty little chords.
Really nice lesson thank you
Yo Mark the lessons are really helpin me out im learning real quick. thanks my brotha
Thanks for the comment. I'll do my version of chords...that is chords for dummies hehe. In that I'll explain a little theory too.
i think i have seen in you in oceans 12 mark ? but i really you thank you a lot . I think you are great because you are responding to every comment, thats the best part. I
am your student from today onwards.
Hi Mark!!! I stumbled upon you a few weeks ago and wanted you to know how much I absolutley LOVE your approach to teaching guitar. I have been trying to play on my own for the past 2 years with little success. You have taken it to the next level for me!! YAY!!! I don't know if you already do this somewhere but could you consider giving a list of a few songs to try and play after teaching a specific strum pattern??? THANK YOU!!
Kim
THANKS SIR FOR SHOWING NEW BRIGHT SIDE OF GUITAR I HAVE A REQUEST FOR U THAT HE T COULD MAKE A LESSON HAVING DETAIL OF MAXIMUM CHORDS SO A BEGINNER OR INTERMEDIATE PLAYER WILL BE HELPFUL TO KNOW MAXIMUM CHORDS IN A SINGLE VIDEO
Great lesson for Guitar players looking to get to grips with Irish Traditional accompaniment, thank you.
you need more subs man >
Great Stuff Mark... Just started learning guitar... I'm 31 wanted to learn all my life just stopped with the excuses. Thank you so much for these strumming videos. Really useful. :)
Thanks Mark. I really feel there is a way forward for me. I've had some very weird teachers. One guy kept on changing the rhythm by throwing in an extra strum every now and then. I couldn't understand why I was out of beat until I pointed that out to him, but he said it doesn't matter, it's part of creating your own "feel".
Try leaving the previous bar a little earlier. e.g. If you strummed the above pattern D dudu D dudu. You should leave the chord on this bar here D dudu D du(du). Let me know if this is what you're after :) Happy strumming
Big praise indeed. Thankyou so much
Thanks Mark as always your way of explaining is great really appreciate it....
This is just amazing.
Some of this stuff seems simple enough but many (like myself) have never caught on to it. Kind of like pro-classes.
Thank you so much! First person to explain it in way I can understand!!
Thanks a ton. I've been writing in predominately 4/4 my whole music career (19 years) and have always been afraid of alternate timings. This cleared things up quite nicely. You have a very nice teaching style. I've "Liked" and will subscribe. Hoping you have some tutorials of even more obscure time signatures. Cheers, from Texas USA
Thoroughly Enjoying your lesson. Thanks heaps :) and a BIG Hi from Invercargill Mate!
Hey thank you very much for taking the time to show us these great guitar lessons!
So nice to hear mate.
Great video! Keep up the great work!
Mark, thanks for another great video. Your instruction is great and easy to understand. Looking forward to more!
this is what i am looking for.. wooooowwwwww you are my coolest teacher
Yup they're in the pipeline...great suggestions.
Hi Mark, Thanks for the awesome lessons, Am getting better by the day.
Keep up the good work.....
It's a Pleasure. Thank you so much
Yes I thought I could easily pick up guitar, who was i kidding.
But now that I have found you, it is so much easier.
Thank you
Sure thing... fingerstyle is great....I'll get more into that style soon for sure.
whenver i see your videos..i'm inspired!!
That's awesome Mark.God bless you.
Awesome , Thanks beautiful Mark .
Again great stuff,thanks.
Great 'feedback' Richard...get it?.....feedback.......feedb....cos your a soundman?...cos...ah nevermind. You'd have some awesome experience already mate. Awesome.
thanks for these lessons Mark... you have done a great job with these videos
Thank you! I appreciate the way you broke it down.
Hi mark! Could you do a series on contemporary finger picking? And also which chords go well together with each key you're playing in. These lessons are extremely useful! Thank you
wow..awesome lesson esp the upward accent part sounded so cool..m trying this today..thanks
I love that little riff thing you done at 3.43/3:44, what were the chords for that little bit, infact, what were the chords for the little tune from 3:37 to 3:45. Great tutorial by the way. Thanks.
They are what I call 'guitarry chords' hehe... they are more suited to the tuning and setup of a guitar, so certain strings ring throughout. I'll do a series on them soon my friend.
Hey Guys!!! I'd love you to comment on what songs you've used THIS strumming pattern for. That way you can help anyone who's keen, to try this pattern out with new songs.
best strumming lesson dude
just found ur site so good man great videos easy to follow thanks from an old aussie guy
Easy. Thanks for watching them my friend. Have you tried this pattern out yet?
I wish you had given us an example of the Celtic strum in a song, like maybe "The House Of The Rising Sun" or some other song you can sing. Anyway, thanks a lot. This is very very helpful.
thanks for the vids mark, you've helped my mates and i a lot
Great stuff Mark
Sure is nice of you to share knowledge like this. Thank you. Untill next time.
Thank you for keeping it short, crisp and simple Mark! you are awesome!
It would be great if you could share the chords you play in the video as a reference for us to practice..
You are so AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This strum goes real good with a Guiness!
😅😅😅
I use different thicknesses for different styles....generally I use a .77 mm for most things. But also go all the way up to a 100mm sometimes.
Mark,,Amazing videos. Thanks so much for the help.I have a request, if possible can you please write in the chords when you strum a particular pattern. Say how many times and what chords need to be played. I'm a beginner and when you strum its amazing and I want to replicate it and practice it by playing the exact same chords.
Gr8 Vids. I really enjoy them!
It's very normal for this to happen. It takes a little time, but just adjust the pick whilst playing. Don't worry too much about it. Over time, your technique will sort it out and it'll be fine.
Thanks Mark for reply. Majid is a common name in Iran Turkey and middle east. I really enjoy your lessons and try to practice the way you explain and I am getting better thanks to you... By the way I am from USA
G'Day to yOu too Mate.. and Thanks a million again and again...
Awesome! helped a lot.
Mark: great instruction and videos. Would you be willing to do a little more expanded instruction on the 6/8 strum timing? I like the Jeremy Camp songs and a lot of those are in the 6/9 world and i need help. Thanks. New subscriber in Charlotte, NC.
Wow I can't express what I feel l.... Thank u
Hi Mark, thank you for all the great videos. When you say you can try out some basic chords please could you let me know what the 4 chords you play are. I can't quite see what you are playing. They sound really nice - I only know the very basics. Cheers Jim
Man it's AWSOME
Best strumming stuff I have seen. :)
If you read this, just want to let you know. it's really helpful
I love you. awesome lesson!!!
Hey thanx mark!!!! U made it so easy..
