Dear David! I have been playing for two weeks, and formilier with all the open chords now, and everybody on youtube is talking about how many songs you can play with simple chords, but... every time I try to learn a song 90 percent of the time it turns out to have barchords too.So would U please reccommend some simple easy beginner songs, to make learning fun?Thanx , and as U see all my other comments: U R THE BEST!!! BEST TEACHER (and other things too.....)

okay ive been watching alot of your videos lately and i have some questions. so to start off, i just got an acoustic guitar, and all your videos show patterns to play and you name chords to play, but i dont understand how to place your fingers on those chords and what strings to play? cause i have looked at a bunch of chord charts and i can see where to place your fingers but i dont know how high to place them on the guitar?

thank you so much
