Deep River Blues was one of the first song I learned, because it motivated me to put a lot of effort in learning. After 10 years of very casual plying, it's still the most complex one in my repertoire. Still love it :) Thanks for giving it credits here.

Your style, the delivery, your easy going manner, would have made my stilted journey so much better and enjoyable, and would have taken me so much further. My only regret is that arthritis has robbed me of that ability any more. I look back at it fondly. Thank you for the generations of players you are going to bless with your talents!!!!

I am on the verge to become economically self independent and have decided to buy your course, I don’t know if you are reading this, stay safe, healthy, keep doing the inspiring stuffs that you do... I am grateful to have you as a part of my life. Namaste....... regards- Gaurav 😁

I love playing "Nothing else matters" on the acoustic (including solo), and never get tired of Stairway (still practicing solo). "Mood for a day" is another one I'm fighting with, it's just so good but very hard to master.

    Fleetwood Mac has always been my favorite group, and “Never Going Back Again” has always been my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. It was the reason I started finger picking. Once I could play it, I felt like I’d made it, like I was finally there. And then arthritis set in. 😬 So, now I have to cheat a little-or a lot-and drop tune the A and low E, with the capo on Fret 6, but at least I can still play it.

    I really love you mentioned "Never Going Back Again" as a personal one at the end. I'm still struggling with that one but it has fascinated me ever since. Definitely a hevily inspiring song for me as well. Just sounds like there are two guitars. I guess the first non-beginner level song for me was "Trains" by Porcupine Tree. Back then I had a tough time getting it down but I've learned a lot from it and it has a really amazing sound to it although it is not "that" hard. Other important guitar songs for me: More Than Words Blackbird Wonderwall (well, ofc ;) ) Solitary Shell (without the crazy Jazz part at the end...)
