November 11, 2017 at 9:04 amWow thanks for this! This is the best compilation I’ve ever came across, with chords and video lesson included? That’s what I really needed and it’s all here. Thank you so much for this… saved me so much time from compiling and researching myself. This will indeed keep me busy, as I’ve started learning a few songs here and it’s been fun so far!

December 8, 2017 at 12:07 pmI love most of the songs here, you have a great taste in music 😉 Anyway, I’m glad I found this resource because I thought my favorite songs sounded too hard to learn on guitar for my level of playing, until I actually saw their chords (thanks to you). I can’t believe I didn’t bother Googling them (face palm). I guess I was intimidated by how great they sounded that I thought they were hard to play. I learned my lesson, and I can’t wait to get home and try all these songs out! Yes, I’m challenging myself to learn all these songs, even the ones I don’t know. Wish me luck!

December 8, 2017 at 4:44 pmHey Gary, I’m excited for you too! Well I’m glad you learned your lesson 😉 I would wish you luck but honestly, luck has nothing to do with it. Just have fun and practice and play every single day. Let me know how it’s been so far, and if you have any questions in the future, you can ask me right here 😀

December 9, 2017 at 9:47 amMan I’m on the same boat as you. I tried learning my favorite songs first but I got frustrated cause I couldn’t play them right. Now I see the same songs listed here as “easy guitar songs” and that challenged me once again. The simplified chords and video lessons will hopefully make a difference this time. Last time I didn’t know what I was doing lol
