YourGuitarSage I love your instructional videos and also the Complete Guitar System lesson package that was purchased for me as a gift from my wife for Christmas. I have been around music most of my entire life having grown up around my father and sister who were both professional musicians. Now that my Father passed in December of 2015 and my Sister just passed in October of this year I am the only musically inclined member left in my family. I have always been told and believe that music is the only true think and know that no one can take away from you and your faith in God to add to that. Anyway thank you so much for helping me with learning to play guitar once and for all for my own love of music, the pride it brings being able to do so and I think playing guitar is very therapeutic also. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, God bless. Thanks again!!!

This is really encouraging for someone like me, I picked up the guitar without any training, just to cope with the pressure of medical school and now I can play full fledged covers thanks to your videos and many like them. Sending tons of love from India....❤️ Thank you so much .. Rashi

I honestly feel like I've learned more in the last week or so of watching your videos than I have in the last 20 years of "teaching" myself. I had really lost my love for playing over the last few years but had recently been picking it up a bit more again....now that I've been watching your lessons and tips and getting a lot deeper into actually learning MUSIC and GUITAR I have the guitar in my hands every spare moment I have. I always saw video titles about lessons, tips, etc., but never clicked until a couple weeks ago. I immediately realized how valuable these can be and had to subscribe. Every time I watch it feels like everything I've been doing the last 20 years finally makes sense and my mind is blown with how much I've been missing. I love playing guitar and always will and after watching and practicing I feel like there is so much I'm learning that I can parlay into learning so many other, mainly stringed, instruments, and growing musically. Thanks so much for the videos and for reigniting my passion for not only playing guitar, but for music in general! btw...I'm still playing an old acoustic Alvarez I bought from a pawn shop the day in 1999 I decided I couldn't keep using friends' guitars if I REALLY wanted to learn to play. I'd love to hear all of this new knowledge pouring out of an instrument that will really do it justice!

YourGuitarSage Well, this is timely, considering one of the biggest fires in California's history is currently burning in the state. Although I'd never before heard this song (believe it or not), I have to think it's about California. A section of Interstate 5 in the San Joaquin Valley is known as The Grapevine. Art mirrors life. This is a very cool song. I always find your instruction understandable and encouraging. The fact that you enjoy what you're doing is palpable. It sets a very positive, comfortable mood for your lessons, like sitting down with a favorite family member or old friend. It's a great way to learn guitar.

YourGuitarSage Have you uploaded a lesson for "Where Is My Mind?" by The Pixies? I love that song but I want to learn the Puddles Pity Party arrangement which is by Storm Large and The Balls. I'm not asking for much. 😉 Check it out. I'm serious. Is this doable? A bunch of Puddles fans would throw themselves at your feet, if you'd put up a "Where Is My Mind?" lesson. kzread.info/dash/bejne/rImC15WMZt2dgco.html

I suffer from brain damage from a IED (road side bomb) attack in Iraq in 2005. Your teaching makes it easy for me to learn guitar. Thank you

sdkelly1957 Thank you for your service, I wish you nothing but the best. Playing music is a great joy, and I hope you play music for a very long time :)

This morning I woke my wife by playing the happy birthday song as it is her birthday today,and added some new techniques I learned from here.She absolutely loved it being awakened in that manner and we sang songs and laughed and almost forgot to have our breakfast! Thanks for the various types of songs and techniques that you have taught me to make this day one to remember.

Even though I've not heard the song before, I feel like learning it because you make it so entertaining and fun to learn. Currently my song to learn before the week runs out and then its time for carols on the guitar so will have to re-check the the lessons here.

We all can't be a music teacher. we don't know how to put our feelings down into music. But you do. You carefully opens old wounds, spilling them out onto music for us to feel. For us to feel connected. We're not alone. And that's why i adore you. You have a way to open your soul and shed light into it. And give us hope, to make the coldest of souls feel the pain they once buried so long ago. You can relate to everything in this world, if you have loved, loved so fiercely you were never the same again. All i can say is thank you, Eric. Your words mean so much to me. It tells story, the good and bad, of love.

Last week I just found out what my brand archetype was and it said "Sage". I thought to myself: "I've seen that word somewhere before and I realized it was from "@yourguitarsage". Erich Andreas, your truly my guitar sage. With your words of wisdom, encouragement and tremendous knowledge in guitar playing ( and life in general). I'be been watching your videos for 5 years now and they have been so helpful. I took a big step by enrolling for your guitar course on Udemy. Also, I'm grateful that you liked my post on instagram. It's been great having you as my instructor. Keep up the amazing work!!!!

Your videos are so GREAT! The way you promote practicing of the guitar despite many beginner guitarists giving up because they cant seem to get any better. Your tutorials provide really good information and I would love to be on your level one day. Hmmmm, I guess that requires practice👍😉

You’re a natural teacher man. I started playing guitar by simply learning chords to my favorite songs. However, I came to realize that I didn’t know anything else about music; CAGED system, scales, soloing methods, etc. That’s where your videos have been crucial to me learning this beautiful instrument. Thank you for offering so many videos for the world to see to help spread our love for music. You rock!

Good basic chords song. Great for us beginners. Thanks again for keeping it simple.........yet instructive.

Great cover tutorial, Erich! You've been a major part of my learning progress and growth. Thank you. You truly are a Guitar Sage. Merry Xmas.

This is great. I'm really appreciating your beginner's informational videos. More than the pain in my left fingertips, especially ;) I'll get there.

Can't wait to try this

Another great video Erich. I've been working on the 9 essential chords and this will be one song I will be working on. I thank you so much for all the effort you put out in order to make us better guitar players.

I can't wait for Christmas Holidays, to have time to get caught up on my lessons. Luv'in what I've seen so far...

Thanks Erich, I was not familiar with this song or band. But I love to hear new to me songs . You made it very easy to understand. Keep doing what you do.....

Another great lesson to work on. Thank you for all you do for us that want to master the 🎸 ....... Wishing you and yours a Blessed & Merry Christmas my friend.

Awesome song and awesome lessons. Always learning something new from you man. Thank you again and again!

Such simple chords put together in such a way to make incredible sounds.....the guitar can be a bridge in this world if we just let it. Thumb's up as always my friend!~John

First time I'm listening to this song and its pretty awesome. Learning the 9 chords beforehand have been very handy. Thank you sir for teaching the lesson. Keep up the great work 👌👌👌

Wow classic tune .awesome playing that Guitar is so.beautiful Eric. .and excellent video the way you explain different things was great to Eric thank you so much

Hey Erich! I just want to thank you for teaching your gift to the world. I started playing guitar almost a year ago. Everyday im getting a lot better. Your videos help me a lot with that process. I hope to win one of the 30 guitars ! Enjoy your holidays!!

Love the video as always. I can impress my brother with a new song. Thanks for taking the time to help us learn.

Hey enrich i am from india and always wake up at 4 am to watch ur video as soon as possible because the way u teaching all.of us is great and thnks for the awesome videos

Wow! Another great song to add to the repertoire. Thanks for yet another great video Erich.

I've seen a few of your videos here and there I've love each video I've seen so I've finally decided to subscribe

I'm obviously just commenting for a chance to get my first acoustic guitar, but let's be brutally honest here, you upload regular quality content, whether tutorials, tips, or theory lessons. As a now intermediate guitar player, I still benefit greatly from your videos as I had when I was a beginner, and will continue to when I get more advanced. Anyway, thanks for the awesome videos and looking forward to the next one, Merry Christmas!

Hey there Erich! I'm a fan of Death Cab For Cutie, it's cool to see you teaching from so many different genres. There's always something to learn in every one of them if we are open to it. Btw they have a song named New Year very suiting for this season. Hope you Erich, your family and everyone reading this have a nice Christmas and the best of wishes for this 2018! Time flies, enjoy with your loved ones, do what you love and as Erich always says be kind to all beings, don't trust the man and practice your guitar.

great song great lesson!

Great lesson. Your guitar sounds killer!!

Nicely done

Great video and a nice tune! I need to put that one on my list to learn. I can't walk, talk and chew bubble gum right now, but it will come. I am still at the picking out the melody stage right now. Lol. Working on memorizing Ode to Joy. Simplified version. It is a favorite of mine. Thank you for caring, Sage. Keep it rocking! Smiling Della

Congrats on 1k!

YourGuitarSage Hey Erich Sir well the tutorial was amazing as always. And I've been loving all your tutorials from the start. I'm learning guitar because the only favorite thing that I like to do is to play the guitar and because of you I'm learning guitar more faster than I thought and by today's hack, rapidly it became more easier to play the guitar and thank you for the lesson and keep doing it because of you I'm learning the guitar. And I think you are the only person I who can teach me how to play a guitar, well the reason is that for me it's pretty hard to play the chords but because of your hacks now I can play the chords more fluently. So thank you Sir for all of your lesson and the tutorial that you are giving everyday and hopefully because of you in future one day I become a musician me a singer like you because you have a beautiful voice sir. Thanks for your efforts sir. Thank You Jay-U

Well that was fun to play....I need a little work on it, but it was fun playing with you..trying to keep up...LOL! I never heard of this song before and I like it. Thank you Erich!! :)

Great lesson Sage! We had a blast today at school jamming and I introduced a bunch of students to the first 30 lessons so you’ll have some new followers soon. I like all music but play mostly country but apparently the kids want me to learn Cake by the Ocean. But I tell ya man, there is nothing like having a class full of high schoolers singing “Cruise” by Florida Georgia Lines to kick off our Christmas break!!

I think we deserve a cover from you of this song. Love how your voice fits it. Please my dude :)

Your guitar sounds great!

14 minutes ago I had never heard of this song. Now, I can play it. Wish I could sing better.... that'll come with practice, I reckon. You rock, Erich. Thanks for making the world a little bigger.

awesome video!

Awesome video

Great lesson ! I used to watch your videos before I got a guitar and I could realy understand what you were teaching! I thought learning the guitar was so hard and I couldn't do it but your videos inspired me ... Durning the last year I tried not to trust the man and be kind to all beings (I don't use much animal products anymore) and practice my guitar. And it realy worked😂👍... now I know that nothing is impossible with hard work.... just don't give a damn about what people say or think ! Thanks Erich 🙇

Never heard the song and I dont even have a guitar to play but I enjoyed the lesson and watching you play

P.S. thanks for doing this song! I’ve recently been listening to DCFC and just discovered this nice little tune. Will be fun to learn, now that you’ve broken it down so easy.

I love guitar. Enough said.

"skipping down the road"...nice reference

How do you have this video mic’d, Eric? You get such clarity from your voice like you are wearing a lapel, but at the same time guitar is mixed perfect. I see a mic over an amp in the back but i dont see any cords coming out of that guitar.

Imagine a world where the slick sounds of vibrating strings are absent from nursery rhymes. My friend, that is a world I live in right now. I am a nursery school teacher in the UK and one of main responsibilities is singing songs and busting out sweet jams. However, I am strumming thin air and my songs sound more like The Bland old Duke of York. If you can bring some extra music into our school it will be greatly appreciated.

Great vid.. I'm willing to learn more, but I don't have a guitar I only borrow my dads.. Can you please do one of my favorite songs which is Stay (by blackpink) I know its kpop but yeah like I said its one of my favorites so yes thanks

I thought there was not an Em in the chromatic scale? What scale is this. Thanks

Is this a song about California?

Mighty McLoven I just mentioned that in another comment. I had not heard this song before but I do think it is about The Grapevine section of Interstate 5 in the San Joaquin Valley, an area subject to fires.
