Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Andy.thank’s for doing this stuff mate, it’s really great to use this service you’ve provided. You have a good way with teaching in this video format/method. You really do have a clear, straight ahead focus that comes across to the learner/student in no uncertain terms. It’s cool. And I was curious to know if you guy’s might be able to note the settings you have for getting the sound a specific riff or tune requires or should have if a guy was trying for the same sound. Anyways just a thought, it would assist a whole lot for the first timers and better. Cheers, Angus G.

You make cense on how to break it up for me. Love in Thanks.

great job , easy to understand,thank you….

Oh Yes, this one I`ll certainly enjoy learning !!, Big Thanks Andy

im just starting out, i’v got most of the notes down but my fingers are stiff. with more practice should they loosen up.any advice?

just so well explained ,but when youve mastered all of this does some of it still test out the masters ,does everyone have strengths and weaknesses on the guitar,no matter how good they make it sound?

Bostin!

Way to go Andy, love it,I get to learn this one will put a feather in my cap or guitar case,and with your help I think I will do it!!!! Thanks.

Very good and with grace…I am interested to follow it.

Very precise!! easy to understand… Once I got the timing down it was a breeze!! Thanks Andy!

Nice job, simple but sounds good clear and easy to follow.

i’ve always wanted to do that! you make it so easy ,thanks so much.

Thanks Andy, loads of versions of this lick, but you showed it simple and basic. best of luck with your course

Nice bit. A little different than I’ve seen before, but not too much.
Keep Rockin’………Z

was great and very instructive thanks James

thanks andy…

Looks like a good system to me. I base this comment upon the fact that I’m a professional educator and have used many methods in my time and tend to think that breaking the information down into manageable chunks is the right way to go with a subject like this. As a would-be guitarist/musician, I am sure my guitar playing will advance exponentially.

yeh cool,thnx,had my own version,but it never sounded quite right,,this one does

Hi Andy
very nice work mate, love Chuck Berry
Keep it coming

Great lesson! Been playing for a while but struggle to remember what i’ve learned. have trouble with playing at speed too. Thanks!

Hi I am making a suggestion for a song. How about looking into Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart. I am sure it will be a fun and challenging song.

Great job on the lesson. You make it a lot easier than other versions that are available on this wonderful wide world of the internet. Thanks Andy!

The Johnny B Gode version looks easier than the full version I. have been struggling with for some months. Experincing a very slow download to view the sample or free videos. have to keep ,pausing to allow download taking several times longer to watch the free stuff may be my connection.
I have been trying to learn the guitar for years Didn’t not start until my late forties. I’m now almost 58 years old but haven’t quit yet. find lots of lessons hard. can play basic 12 bar blues. a pentotonic solo at the 5 fret. wild thing. a rock & roll riff some muting a hammer on or 2 plus a few twiddly bits. Edward.

Just great, Love it.
would love to see more of this.

Cool stuff. Any chance for members to have if tabbed out ?

Thanks Andy. Good lesson, learned this in one evening….now to polish it up. Thanks again!!!!

i have been looking for a someone to teach me how to play, i think i have finally found my website. sweet………..

On the Chuck Berry side of things: CB you know who you are and what you did with this tune that was explosive and dynamic! How about Andy! We should all be giving it up for Andy who can take the most difficult to me riffs and things and present them effortlessly and with fun!?

“Andy says if it makes us happy then we’ll be at our guitars”

It’s true for me!!

thanx for what you do andy…

Andy,
I am ashamed to tell you exactly how many years I’ve been playing the guitar without ever really getting this Chuck Berry riff down. Thank you mate!

Cheers!

Hi Andy,

I will be getting BJ I cannot afford it now but I will get it soon. Can’t wait.

Andy, this lead sounds when you hear it & I could never get it right, maybe because I always get it confused with the lead in Bye Bye Johnny, but you make it seem so simple I think I’m getting the hang of it now. I should be able to get Bye Bye Johnny & Bad Boy both from this lesson.

Excellent ,Andy I’ve recommended this to a couple of my friends….love Chuck Berry

Andy,thank you for the Chuck berry lesson.I have the notes down,but I struggle with the speed.

GREAT STUFF ANDY THANK YOU

Hi Andy This is the 1st online lesson ive had. Ive played off/on for years” But that same old left hand in Treacle syndrome witch sometimes drives me MAD.Your site is gona be Just the Ticket i think! Many thanks GR8 STUFF” ROOP

Andy:
I am a real beginner. The lesson seems simple and easy to ubderstand, but is was so fast I was unable to follow you with a single note.I am trying to master the most important cords, but from one day to another I can not remember which is the A, D, E or G chord. Is there a method to memorize chords?
To help me in above lessons can you add by typing all the words that you mention in the lesson.
Thank you for sending free lessons.
Marco

im only an intermediate player, i guess above a beginner, but my frustration is i cant get me left freting hand to do notes quicker, i know the neck pretty good, and practice a lot, but just cant get that left hand better, this is why i wont buy anything on line. i guess i should quit, and take up something else, this is only a hobby, or do u have a better suggestion?

ANDY VERRY WELL SIMPLIFED GOOD WORK AS USUAL ERROL
