    This is insane. I've been trying to learn this songs for months, but I've always disliked the clickbaity youtube tutorials for guitar. I learned this song from you within 2 days. I cannot thank you enough, I can't wait to keep practicing and show my bandmates. Lol thank you so much!!!!

      Yeah it took me a while too, it totally depends on your guitar style as to how quickly you get it down. Some will pick it up super quick whilst others will never get it.

    love the tutorials, why are some people so negative? i don't care if it's played on a seasick Steve nomads guitar, it's the content that matters here and tbf, the sounds are really nice anyway. Thank you for giving up your time to do these.

I manage to play Charming man but only 80% of your speed after 3 weeks of hard work ... how long did it take you to play it as you do it (i.e. perfectly!) So long. Michael
