Wondered if you would do a tutorial on "Tightrope " from The Greatest Showman

[@user-py1me3lc7d]

Thanks so much, you are a great teacher! And you have beautiful voices, speaking and sing! Small suggestion: It would have been perfect if you put G1 632113 x 3…… ?? x 1… x2, so when we pause the video we know how many time each chord we play!

[@mywigfleww]

[@t.s6119]

Hey I have a question. So as I have noticed , you do not use a pick for strumming which isn't easy for me but how am I supposed to pick the way you thaught us in the video and strum using a pick? Love your videos BTW.

[@johnsellers661]

you so good I just subscribed and I noticed there is not a pick guard on your guitar is there a reson for that you are so good 💯😘

[@for3v3rfaithful]

Thank you so much for subscribing! 🦋💕 Pick guards are often optional when you buy a new guitar and you can stick it on if you need it/like the look but this guitar didn't come with one. 🤗

[@jimmcfadden5923]

Hi, I ran across you looking for intermediate arrangements (fingerstyle) for this song. I am currently working on a solo arrangement in 6/8 timing, but I digress. I noticed you were using "G1" and "G2," for the variation on the G pattern. Just an idea, G1= G; and G2 = G/B. Nice arrangement.

[@ginnypotter5837]

Thankss 😊 do u plan on doing Teardrops on my guitar (Taylor) tutorial?

[@for3v3rfaithful]

Definitely plan to once Taylor comes out with her version! 🙌
