Hi, I'm Mark and I've been teaching and playing guitar professionally for 26 years now, and I've picked up a lot of insights along the way; things I wish I had known when I started out. That's why a bunch of mates and I started this channel - to share this knowledge with you.
But this is more than just a place to learn guitar. It's also place where you can hang out, relax, be yourself, get support, make friends and get inspired to have more fun with your guitar. So go ahead. Pick up your axe. Hit play. And be a better guitarist.

3 Simple Guitar Riffs Every Guitarist Should Know
That was super helpful! Thank you! 🙏🏾
I already play fast but I want to play faster
Damn, 11 years and the video still explains it like 2 + 2
You are an amazing teacher. Thank you
superbe !
It's like Irish guitar strumming
Super useful dude thanks.
This was super helpful thank you!!! this damn chord has been my nemesis since I started 8 months ago and i NEVER THOUGHT about using that finger first!!!
SAMMME ITNWAS SO HELPFUL
This is a life changer tysm
The best video
Excelente Amigo. From El Salvador. Central América.
thank you so verrrrry much, i just figured how smooth can you play with a pick, i amost gave up on picking with a plectrum
Wow! What a great well taught lesson on a great song. Thanks so much.
this video was exactly what I needed. thanks!
Dude-PAINFULLY slow and aggravating listening to you dribble this out so slowly. F$&@ sake i stopped watching after 90 seconds and dug a six inch valley through the middle of my skull. I’ll go look for somebody who can GET THE F$&@ ON WITH IT. Probably an American. Australians are all pussies. You prove it in spades bruh.
Ha Ha, Great approach to teaching. Pass me my new Epiphone. Move over i am checking out your other lessons. Why so many antipodean teachers online? Thank You
Thanks for verifying what I was thinking: This technique effectively gives you a metronome to play with. Very nice presentation. Tick tock.
That was a very helpful lesson thanks alot mate
Thank you. I just knew that the key is to move the elbow. I was having trouble by moving my wrist.
That's just perfect.
Thanks for the tips 🙏
The original version is half step higher, starting on Gm to Dm.
great vid, thx
Thank you !!
No wonder why 3 months after buying my first guitar. i still have a hard time pressing on the frets 😭 man i have thick callus now on my left fingers and i can still feel the sore after olaying it for minutes. shouldnt the callus build up bear the sore? bruh i need to find me some luthier to lower the action cause i aint enjoying my guitar anymore gaddamn
This is exactly what I needed. I haven't played in a while and lost my programming. Thank you.
I really love your approach to getting players inspired to play and have a go at making stuff up. Great approach. I love it❤
I was thinking you might be an Aussie because of the Ripcurl T-shirt but as soon as I heard you I knew you were a kiwi like me😂
Great lesson thank you mate, from Israel
Nope…not from the elbow…its actually the wrist movements which makes u strum faster…
Hi Mark, love your work Jeremy And Nigel
Hi Mark, love you are with the work. Take care
Different approach to anchoring. I think this will be good for me. Thanks.
I never used metronome in my life and recently I decided to try it out and got the feeling that the magic of my playing was gone.
My guitar's action is 7 freaking millimetres 💀
Oh so many nice fills in these chord changes...ups my personal bar....
Nice. Thanks for that. From France ;)
I thought "top string" is the high, thin E string not the low, thick E string?
If you slowed down a bit and spoke a little more carefully, non native-speakers could understand more of your lesson.
How about never tear us apart by INXS? Great lesson
I was taught to use the pinky but put the third finger over top of it for more strength. Now it’s a habit.
Semplicemente ..Fantastico saluti da Benevento ( Italy)
This really helps , thank you very much
Your fricken ring finger is longer than my middle finger. LOL
If any acoustic is over 70 thousands at the 12th fret? YES, it's too high.
"No tomfoolery"! yer a funny geezer McKenzie :-)
Thanks Mark! This was super helpful. I feel like I’m on my way to a decent sounding b minor.
Thanks mate, lowered my guitar action using your vid!
This is where an AI robot would come in handy 😂😂😂
Followed a few of your lessons, tried 2 songs at buskers (basic versions) and happy how they went. This one next I think. Great lesson, great tutor!
