Just got my first acoustic guitar, this sounds great on it. Thanks for sharing

[@permit40]

Well done instruction! Thank you.

[@lcraigsimmons]

Great lesson. I really enjoy all your lessons. It is so helpful to have the tab and lyrics integrated and how you explain and play each part of the song in detail. This is one of my favorite songs of all times.
Could you do a simplified version of solo or melody line in a future lesson. I have been unable to find a simplified solo or improvised solo.
Keep up the great work!

[@bobv5806]

Great tutorial, you have a good teaching style. This song got me to sub. Looking forward to more.

You're going to want to push with the tip of the finger a little bit more and curl it a bit... might be a bit of discomfort at the beginning while your fingers build up callouses

[@mauromartins1012]

Any chance you could tackle 'Here Comes Your Man?' by the Pixies? I can kinda play it already but would love to see your spin on it!!

[@peterridings8599]

All are good but love Crosstown Traffic

[@cozycoves9764]

Great tutorial. Is there a tab sheet available for this?

[@ratkasketa1944]

Crafter tem muita qualidade

[@billyrubin3108]

My biggest problem is going from E back to C. That’s where my biggest pause occurs.

[@Cam-wi3tp]

sao when you say R R down down up, are you counting that as 1 beat?

[@markkasper7281]

I'm sure you realize that's not a Henrix song...

[@davidharris2210]

Your so far off base with this, its ridiculous… damn

[@benidictnelbert]
