Wow. Your tutorials are not just tutorials anymore. You're getting so much more professional and put so much more effort. Not only telling the story behind but also great shots and showing chords. We appreciate your effort.

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Many thanks 👍 I appreciate the positive feedback 🔥🎸

[@Matt-li6gn]

This new format is awesome.

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Thanks

This is a song that needs to live forever. There aren’t many that I would classify as perfect but this is one of them. Watching her absolute captivate an entire Wembley audience is straight up magic.

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Agreed!

[@davidparker7920]

I was lucky enough to meet Tracy Chapman in June 1988 when she was on her way back from the Nelson Mandela 70th birthday concert at Wembley. I had the seat next to her on a flight from Heathrow to Boston the day after the concert. I heard of her or her music but she was such a good person to chat with as we crossed the Atlantic. She said she had just released her first album and apologised for not having any cassette tapes left to give me of it.... but I said I would check it out in a record store. The strangest thing was that having landed at Logan airport and picked up my hire car to drive to the hotel I switched the radio on and the first song played on what was a randomly selected station was 'Fast Car'!...amazing coincidence and a day I will never forget.

[@GeriWardMusic]

Fantastic storytelling. Super new format, I am loving it. I've wanted to perform this song for so long live, but never dared to. You have inspired me to try this song again... it's so hard as you say to sing and play it at the same time. Great lesson Lee, thank you Sensai 😊

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Thanks Geri, I’m so glad you like it! And learn the song off by heart it gets much easier after a few days 👍 Stick with it ok 🎸

Hey! You look hot! Fancy a date ? 🥰

[@zane.walker]

I have been watching your channel frequently for the last year or so and have enjoyed your videos but have never commented. But I feel I need to speak up and applaud you over your recent videos, as you have taken them to another level. Your videos just don't show how to play a song, but also provide deep insights into the artist, as well as into yourself. Your honesty is endearing. I also appreciate your comments about the challenge in playing and signing this song at the same time. I thought it was just me! Thanks again for this video!

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Hey thanks for finally commenting and sharing you thoughts 😃 I really appreciate the positive feedback and the support helps me continue 👍All the best🎸

[@black_knight_offroad]

That made me feel emotional, may have shed a tear. Keep up the amazing work, Lee 🙏🏼

wonderful song and a wonderful video to go with it. Love the style.

Thanks you so much 👍

[@BarryFence]

Hi Lee, I just discovered your channel. This is such a beautiful and respectful presentation of an amazing song/artist. I'm going to be binge watching your channel. Embarrassingly, I've been playing for a lot of years but rarely play a song from start to finish. Hopefully, your channel will help me over that hurdle. BTW, you sitting so close to your steering wheel and the placement of your hands on the wheel could cause injury to you if you ever get an airbag deployment. It could put your guitar playing on the back burner for awhile. :^)

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Hey Barry, thanks for the positivity really appreciate the feedback! Enjoy my friend!

[@eithan]

I love your intros as well as your guitar lessons, but those beautiful intros is really what set you apart from other guitar educators. Keep up the good work! cheers.

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Many thanks 👍

[@billybright5038]

Where have you moved to bro? Looks amazing! UK still? Bournemouth? Cornwall?

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

😂 keep up dude! I moved June 2023! SW France 🇫🇷 thanks 🫶

[@jamesgrover2005]

Nice story.
That's the difference privilege makes, although privileged people don't usually realise.. they have that safety net (+more) and assume their success came through hard work and intelligent decisions.

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Exactly👍

[@tomarmstrong887]

Ffs Lee. Blinking and breathing whilst playing guitar is hard enough. Singing! Jokes

[@leejohnblackmoremusic]

Thanks Tom 😆👌🎸
