    Consider recording these sessions with camera view looking down from your eye view, which can help us learn the cord patterns as we see our fingers from our view.

    @whiterabbit4479 4 дня назад

    This is great. I liked and subscribed within the first thirty seconds. Before you could even ask. You start our by demonstrating right up front you can play it. And jump right on it with no BS. Maybe you should also teach the other youtubers how to produce effective guitar lessons. Those people waste my time and frustrate me greatly.

  • @baddhabits6833

    Great lesson. John Prine was mainly known to base pattern pick 6/4 and use his index finger as you showed on the last part of the lesson. This is the best lesson I have seen to date, on, or for John Prine guitar, Though this is a Blaze Foley song, lol

    David, Using the standard tuner, without having to pay to retune to 432 or 453, can we assume 432 is 10% or 1 mark down from 440. Is that consistent 1 down to all notes/ strings?
