Hello, Rob!! What kind of pedal/effect should/could used to play this solo? Delay? Reverb...? Tks a lot!!
2023-01-24 01:23:26 +0000 UTCGREATt fun! To quote Mr Harrison "Ive got blisters on my fingers!" Bending all those strings on my acoustic is a killer. But well worth learning this iconic Beatles tune Thanks

2021-08-06 14:54:59 +0000 UTCBeautiful lesson. Please also send a lesson of the song itself. Thus with the solo it will be perfect as usual.

2021-07-08 09:30:55 +0000 UTCHey Teri, thanks so much for the positive feedback, I'm so glad you and your husband are enjoying these resources together. As for kids, I use to teach a ton of kids guitar/ukulele lessons, but few years ago I decided to focus on YouTube/Patreon full-time. I do miss teaching 1 on 1 and also group classes, so I'll make a post here if I decide to offer any live learning opportunities.
2021-07-07 14:13:48 +0000 UTCMy husband and I really enjoy the way you break these songs down. You're an amazing teacher. Do you ever teach very young kids?
2021-07-01 17:07:58 +0000 UTCGreat Lesson. You said to let you know what you could do next. Joe Gore does a great accoustic version of "Wichita Lineman" Here is the YouTube Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrTfUyWYIDQ
