Hi! Jackson, just wanted to take a minuet or two to commend for taking the time to share your gifted talent. Thanks! to you and you way of simplifying these memorable songs, I am able to play a few. Not near your capacity but not bad for a novice. I've taken up playing the guitar as a hobby and I'm having a blast. My family isn't enjoying it as much as I but the dogs don't seem to mind my lulling them to sleep with a campfire song from time to time. Again I can't thank! you enough Jackson and I have my e-mail set to send me a notice everytime you upload a new video. In anticipation… Fred, from the (705) Peterborough Ontario Canada area…

Hey Jackson,
Great site !!!  You make everything thing so much easier.  I used to play this song..Jenny, Jenny.. a long time ago but I must have been playing it the hard way.  You way sounds dead on and so much easier.  I checked out your other songs and you do a great job breaking them down.  I have played for a long time but I think I am making things harder than they should be.  Thanks for all the help.
