Nice! When I was 10 I found my dad's guitar from back when he planned on being the next Elvis Presley (I once told my dad I like riding in the car with him better than with my mom because she silneces the radio. After a short pause he replied, "I didn't notice it was on". Same guy.) Anyway, I'm now 24 and have been playing guitar ever since that day! What a gift, even if she doesn't stick to it, at such a young age to be encouraged and introduced to musical instruments, that's wonderful.

This video sent me down a massive rabbit hole that lasted for days. Terribly fun and addictive style to play in. Thanks for the lessons, keep the vids coming JC.

Hi Jason - a year ago I said I'll be back ! I'm the one who lost out for letting it take so long. Just showed my wife how you present: Genuine, still give a crapp that we will always need whole or bits and pieces of music, and all done without letting an ego tangle the strings. Jason - I enjoy the way you present almost as much as what you teach. You're still a good bloke. Thank you mate. Ajay

I don’t know anything about music and can’t even read it. Im just starting to remember notes on the scale. I’m starting on acoustic but want to eventually play rock and heavy metal. But I have to start learning proper techniques, I don’t want to develop bad habits early. I would love to play a tenth of what Nita Strauss can play but I know I have to practice and I need a teacher to start out! ThankYou again!!🤘🎸🎼.
