Carl: Thanks so much for leading me to your great website! I had already subscribed to your YouTube page. I have played keyboards most all of my life and so have a great understanding of scales, chords and progressions, but recently bought a great little guitar and now, at 56 years of age I want to learn how to play it lol! You are such a clear, complete and concise teacher who is slow and patient. I have also lead my young nephew to your site because when I bought my guitar he showed such an interest that he went out and bought one for himself! Your lessons are so complete in fact that I told him that for now, and in fact for a long time, your site here and your YouTube channel would be ALL that he (and I) would need! We plan to start at lesson one of “beginners” and master each and every beginner lesson in sequence and then move on to the intermediate and master those and so forth. I love how you have covered chords, strumming and picking styles and then introduced full song arrangements (all with free tabs!) at the appropriate times so that the students don’t ever get bored! (I just listened to your beginner arrangement of Silent Night and thought to myself, “heck, I would be thankful if I could just play THAT well! haha). Everything here is easy to follow and navigate and I just wanted to thank you for what you are doing on the internet for aspiring musicians everywhere!

Carl,
After stop playing for about 15 years,(complete frustrated)i pick the microbe back up again.
So,when seeing a lot of sides and teachers on the net ,i came by accident on yours .

Your explenation,video samples ,are SO clear,that ,if i do what you say ,i chal play me gitar,whit NO frustration.
You pay attension on litle details,chow everything verry SLOW so we understand it well!
In other words ,you are a hell of a teacher,so please ,stay here!!!
I start playing al over from the beginning ,follow your beginners chapter,(whas doing it wrong , i see now)and follow lesson by lesson you give us!
I feel verry good be this and make progress richt from the beginning ,becouse you teach it so well!
Thanks a million thimes for the effort and the time you spent on it,to do this!
I wich you a fine year,whit a lot of fabulous music !!!!

thanks for & wish u always we can see this website.

Hey Dave, welcome back!! Let me know if you have any questions about anything at all. Cheers! Carl

Hey Rain, the lessons in the lessons archive are just meant for you to pick up with any lesson wherever you want. There really is no order to them. If you want systematic study of a topic that would be one of the guitar courses. They are relatively new to the site and can be found in the Premium section.

Cheers! Carl..
