i know this is practically in every video description i have lately, but sorry about the wait for this video! my life has been pretty busy, so uploading tutorials has had to take a backseat to some other things i have going on right now. 🙁 not to mention that the editing process takes for3v3r! but i do still read all of your comments and want to continue making videos for as long as i can! your support means the world to me, and i hate to disappoint people.
that being said, i hope you guys will grab your guitar and learn this simplified version of how to play “thinking out loud” by ed sheeran with me! it’s officially been requested for over a year now!! you guys are definitely persistent!!
