    Honestly, This is more useful than school. If I showed this to my teachers they would realise that UA-cam videos = 1 semester of education

      When you get older, you'll realize these are just rebellious thoughts stemming from your hate for school or teachers. UA-cam is great, but school is irreplaceable.

    I just started learning to play the guitar after decades of drenching myself in music and deciding that I could not go to my grave without knowing how to play, if not to play the guitar well. I have just over two weeks under my belt and for sure I'm just a beginner. Thank you very much Tony. I have eight chords, one scale, one finger picking lesson, and four callouses that I have learned and earned thus far. Much of this, thanks to you. Please keep doing what you are doing.

      You are a prodigal. I’m at four months as a 66-year-old beginner and still working on eight chords and their transitions. I’m a lefty, so now I am just starting to integrate holding three chords and working on my left hand finger picks. Focusing first on training my left, picking hand, on aligning the fingers with the correct strings, has helped me now that I am moving into holding chords and doing the fingerpicking drills. So as a beginner, I kept it simple and started with my picking hand to train my fingers on that hand, then move to learning chords with my right hand, and I’m now back to training my picking hand utilizing three or four basic chords.I apologize for describing this inelegantly but I thought it might help another beginner.

    Tony, thanks so much for your videos! I've been playing guitar for about 16 years but only started taking it seriously in the last 5 years or so. I am self taught, could never afford lessons, so I have some bad habits that have really hindered my progress and playing. Since watching your how-to videos, my playing has increased dramatically and I'm excited to learn guitar for the first time in a long time. Thanks for passing that passion along!

    Great lesson as always Tony, thanks to you and the team for making this video. Great exercises. Required quite a bit of concentration, I thought, “these are very basic” then you sit down and try to do it. Keeping an even pace, and even volume and trying to get some speed up.... like I said I had to really concentrate. I got it in the end and even worked in the C F G progression. Good exercises thumb and fingers feeling more independent. Definitely worth doing. And adding to the regime.

    This video is so incredibly helpful, I can barely play one song with a pick but it sounds so much better in finger style so I tried watching a video of finger style on that song and was so lost, it didn’t feel the same at all 😂 but I’ve been practicing this for the past 3 or 4 nights, and everything is starting to fall into place now. I can do all the stages at that speed already! Definitely earned a follow for this one. Keep up the good work!

    I am learning classical guitar and I would recommend you to practice the 120 arpeggios of Giuliani if you want more exercises. I know they are different techniques but they are really fun (at least the first 100). My favorite part of the video was "I don't want you to think you are not good enough. You are good enough right now."

    As an aside my brother wants to learn to play so I bought him a guitar for Christmas and gave him two UA-cam teachers to watch, of which you were one.
    I'm not a natural or gifted student, so quality instruction matters to me. Thanks again; I hope you had a Merry Christmas and I hope you have a great new year!

    Small win! I’ve been trying for the last year or so to get some kind of finger picking pattern worked into my muscle memory. I almost started to sound like it wasn’t as random as it really was.
    I followed your instructions to the letter. First the thumb independence then the alternating pinches and then thumb index thumb middle.
    BOOM! Like a switch flipped on!
