STUDENT FEEDBACK...
I want to say a big thank you for your guitar lessons... I started learning guitar some ten years ago while serving as a Christian missionary in Ivory-coast. However, I could not go far due to lack of learning resources (all I could play was C F G) but, with your lessons, believe me I can now play all the major chords. I can not thank you enough. My prayer is that the good Lord will increase you and cause his face to shine on you. Once more,thank you! ~ Joe
I was very impressed by your approach... You must be a very good teacher. May God bless you. Have a good day. ~ Dustan Kangave
I bought a book to learn guitar, but you seem to be more helpful than my book. Thanks
Kathy Not sure if you will see this but I want to say you have the most understandable Guitar learning site I have come across. I wish you were local I would have you as my teacher, you are excellent.
thank you SO much for taking the time to put together this site!! i am learning the guitar and this is so helpful~ thanks again :)
Thank you very much, I have been surfing the net looking for some answers to some blues playing questions I had and bingo, found them and much more on abclearnguitar.com Great Website!!!!
just the way guitar lesson should be easy to use and read. thank you
Hey, First, I'd like to tell you that your instruction makes *way* more sense than several (read all) of the others I've seen. There was always some point I missed (or that just was not explained). Yours are clear so far, and seem to be very thorough. Last year, at the National Old Time Fiddlers contest in Weiser, ID, I purchased two raffle tickets to win one of several Godin acoustic guitars. This year... the same (thinking that if God wanted me to learn how to play, then He would make it very clear). ...and He did. ...and I did win. So now I have the seemingly daunting task of learning how to play. I am excited about it, and hope that this won't wear off as time progresses. I figured on a goal of being able to play in our church's praise band. Thought you might appreciate hearing this (ongoing) story. Thanks for your willingness to share your God-given talents. George
Your program was awsome!!!
I really enjoyed the lessons you have posted and learned how to move from chord to chord better by using them.
