    Anyone wondering....GREAT VIDEO (for beginners and above). Thank the heavens someone did a KZread video just as if...you were paying for a beginners lessons. Kudos Drue James!!! Great lesson on learning bob Marley tunes (well...songs from Legend) ••• Afterthought: This is actually a nice way to Learn guitar...if you can play what drue does verbatim’....you can actually accomplish more from this video than a few professional lessons. ••• He even does the trick where you speak/sing the chord you are playing and progressing to. Singing the chord you are playing while strumming is a great way to “learn your way around a fret board”. I cannot stress enough how subtle this lesson is for beginners/advanced beginners.

    This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "learn keyboard piano chords" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Nonason Ranincoln Genie - (search on google )? It is a good one off guide for discovering how to play the piano like a pro minus the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.

It would be so great if you could make a longer video about all songs separated with slowly explenation and maby written down the letters or put some drawings where witch finger belongs in and so on. That would deffenetly make my day, cause I realy want to learn those Songs. Have a great day!

    I agree to disagree with you, reggae in my opinion is based on "feeling" just like the blues. Music theory will tell you what a robot will do, everything is in a straight line if you know what I mean. Playing without theory and played based on what you feel can break the boundaries of time, beat and tempo but still comes out beautifully if not more beautifully than if it was all written in a straight line.
