Looking forward to this, Jackson!
I hope you can add a few tunes to your repertoire Barry!
Hi Jackson
I am thinking I might start learning on one of Pete's Guitars.
One of those things I always wanted to do but never got at it.
John
I think it’s great that you are tackling this as a goal. Good for you John!
Hey Jackson
This looks great. I'll be absorbing everything I can here.

I've only been playing for 2 months, I'm 57 yrs old, and I find your site very easy to follow. I love the "Pretty Woman" Orbison lesson. I hope to play that all the way through in a few months. Thanks, and keep up the good cause.
Appreciate the kind words Paul! Enjoy the lessons!

I'm so glad I ran into you tube.So keep on rockin' and thank you and send me some really cool stuff to make me really think(not jazz…I'm a hard rock blues player.

BoB Ramsay
Nice to have you along Bob. My approach will be pretty eclectic, but if you can hang on through the softer stuff, we should be able to soothe that harder rock spirit!
Your site is a great place for an intermediate player. I haven't played in a long time and it is helping me get my chops back with songs I enjoy and tips that are improving my technique..Thanks for your site you obvisously love to teach.
Hey thanks Sean! I’ve tried to mix things up so I think if your are patient … you will find that there are some cool songs upcoming! All the best …. Jackson!
Thanks for the lessons- I love all the extra bits that really makes a song sound great. I'm just a "Backyard BBQ strummer"- and I play just for fun. Your lessons really help me to keep it interesting (and a little challenging) so I want to keep practicing every day.
It’s nice to work with good folks who are motivated. Thanks Charlie!
Hey:
I have slowly been searching the web for the right site that will help me with the guitar. I intended to learn when I retired but before I had that chance I lost most of my sight in my right eye and I have poor sight in my left. When I went on your site I believe I have found a site that can help.
Thanks for being
best regards John
Thanks for the kind words John and best wishes with the lessons!
This site is amazing. It offers lessons with the real background and knowledge of the songs so that we can get the whole feel of the song as well as the notes and chords. Excellent job. I am very happy with the choices of songs that the lessons are for as I have always wanted to play them. Thanks again
Thank you James …. your encouraging words are very appreciated! Glad you like to song choices!
Jackson … thanks for what you’re doing. I was in a rut for awhile with my guitar playing but your site got me back on track! Thanks and have nice holiday season. Adam
My pleasure Adam … I know what you mean … it’s easy for things to get a bit stale. All the best …. Jackson!
Hi Jackson! I just checked out your site and I'm very impressed. I may be the official subscriber, but you will actually be mentoring my 11 (almost 12!) year old son. He's in his 5th year of lessons and is crazy about all things guitar — your lessons and tips will be much appreciated! Thank you for all that you do. You are a great example to kids who love music.
Thanks Christine …. I truly hope he enjoys the songs and other bits. He already has a great edge having started so young!
Great website! I have already been enjoying your lessons since discovering them on Youtube. I just picked back up on learning to play guitar after a 25 year layoff. I am basically self taught and got frustrated years ago because I could never learn a complete song, only a few riffs. Your lessons are great! Looking forward to any new songs you post.
Thanks Wade … glad you’re back at it!
Hi,Jackson! Just joined you, I am 66yrs old, hope i'm not too late greetings from Warrington, UK.
Welcome … glad to have you on board Fred!
Love the classic rock. Thanks for your time and effort in helping us out!
You’re very welcome Scott … glad to help!
Hello Jackson, just joined you, you're a good teacher, thank you.
Welcome Walt …… glad you are enjoying!
Finally! An instructor that knows how to instruct! Thanks for taking me under your wing, this will be fun!
You’re most welcome Bill … glad to have you aboard!
I discovered the website very late last night through the You tube link ….Yes, imsomnia…Great work…I look forward to being a part of the community.
Welcome Rick … that insomnia bug gets me sometimes too!
Thanks Jackson, I found your Bobby Mcgee lesson on line and liked it. Look forwad to more songs and info it seems like its easy to follow, and more importantly accurate. Thanks for your work.
You are indeed welcome Collin ….. it’s nice to have you on board!
Well I'm 45 years old now and always wanted to play guitar so here goes, wish me luck lol.I'm looking forward to using your free lessons.Any tips on how to toughen up my fingers or does that just come with time? Thanks again….
Time yes …… play lots of chords w/changes every day …. some of the song lessons might be a bit over your head … so you just need to pick and choose … have good look at the whole lesson and judge if it’s going to work for you … but challenge yourself for sure.
Best Wishes …. Jackson
thanks i am a beatle fanatic lol
Mr too Steve … me too!
Hi Jackson,
I already subscribe to a guitar training site, but I'm sure I can pick up some stuff here too and I like that it will not only be educational, but entertaining as well.
Found you through the Nowhere Man lesson on YouTube. Loved the "special effects" at the beginning. I see you have a good sense of humor.
Thanks Dan … as I once read … life’s too serious to be taken seriously … that’s at least sometimes true and I guess Nowhere Man was one of those moments …. glad you enjoyed!
I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoy your YouTube lessons. I am new to iPad and YouTube. Unbelievable what I have been missing. You have taught me three songs tonight alone!
My deepest thanks!
Darrel
You are most welcome Darrel!
thank you so much for making me pick up the guitar again!! at the ripe old age of 44.looking forward to learning alot more.great site and thank you again.
cheers!
You are truly welcome Julian!
Hi Jackson.
Thanks for setting up your website and I'm glad I found it!
Your obviously a very good guitarist and and even better teacher. I was not
surprised to read that you have been 30 years as an educator. It clearly shows in your lessons! And your a good singer too. You've got it all!!
Peter Watson
Well thanks Peter … it keeps me out of trouble. And if i ever need an agent … expect a call. Cheers!
Hi Jackson, Just found you on you tube. Your lessons are fantastic and really easy to follow. I am a 52 year old and have been trying to learn for a little while now Its great to have someone who is not only a great teacher but can also sing. Had a look at the 500 miles lesson (good effort on the Scottish accent). Look forward to the future.
Many Thanks Steve
Appreciated Steve and welcome aboard!
Hi Jackson,
I've been teaching myself for awhile and these lessons are perfect. Strumming patterens are difficult for me to pick up on so I really like it when you enclude them.
The riff work is great. I'm finally learning actual notes instead of just numbers!
Thank you for all your hard work.
Mario
You are very welcome Mario!
Jackson, I can`t tell you how much I enjoy your lessons. Been flailing away for about 10 years with no formal training other than a guitar skills course at the local community college ( I`m 59 ). Became disabled and needed something constructive to do. Always enjoyed music but never learned to play-UNTIL NOW! A friend pointed out one of your YouTube vids and now I can`t stop watching and learning. Please keep up the great work.I can see by the smile on your face, you really do enjoy what you do. Thanks a million, man! Toronto is lucky to have you.
Well Jim … it’s nice to be “had” … thanks for your kind words and keep up the good work yourself!
i learned margaritaville from myou and love the way you showed the chord change with the lyrics. That was the best lesson from anyone so far. Thanks
Thanks Rusty and welcome!

Dank Maick…. Ich schätze die netten Wörter
Hi Jackson
I'm a very late learner to the guitar at age 59 but it was always one of those things I always wanted to do (being a baby boomer of course). I now have the time!. I came across your video of California Dreamin on youtube, by accident. Wow!! Took me back many years. You have given me a real incentive to learn and play. I'm still very crude at the moment but I'm having a go.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time so freely and I wish you all the best.
Cheers from
Graeme
Perth, Western Australia
Greetings Graeme …. lots of good lessons on the way. Of course … pick and choose based on your preferences … welcome aboard!
