Thanks Peter, I feel that the days of just ‘teaching’ guitar will be numbered. The technology these days lends itself to all manner of innovations
that will make it easier [don’t tell them though] Thanks so much for your kind comments.
Mike, you did it again. Every time you present an easier way to learn music I think it is as good as it can possible be. Then you outdo yourself and this is a good example of what I mean. I’m thinking if a person can’t learn using your method then maybe a guitar or UKE is not in your future. I can’t sing so I use guitar time by focusing on fingerpicking to make music. However, I am teaching my 11 yr. old grandson to play guitar and I will definitely purchase lessons from you for his future as he improves. You are the best.

Hi Mike. This layout is so much less cluttered, with plenty of white space, making it easier to follow. The use of the box outline around the chords was an inspired move. Maybe a different coloured box for chords that are not played but have been allowed to ring out from the previous strum, and where a word is split by a chord, a little bit more of a gap to emphasise the first beat, would both be useful?
The best yet. Well done!
It looks good, and I was pleasantly surprised to find you used that particular song for the example. One of my “music friends” (who runs a karaoke business and plays guitar) really likes “When You Say Nothing at All,” so I think she’ll like this.
I love the idea Mike, you turn out some great things that make it easy for guitarists and musicians at all levels. The only thing I would say is, sometimes not always easy to follow the chord changes without a time line following the words. Not sure if you know what I mean lol.
Regards Kevin.
Hi Kevin, You may have noticed that there is a chord shape showing for every single measure. In other words the chord changes are absolutely rigid….so no getting lost……there is a chord shape every 4 beats…problem solved.
This may sound like a dumbass question, but why not just do 2 seperate versions one for guitar one for uke? Otherwise someone is going to say “hey Mike, add Bass” and pretty soon you have lost your simplicity.
You are still my hero!
Congratulations, I think this is great! It makes following the chords so much easier. As a perpetual beginner learning has just become one step easier . . .
Thanks James, The new green boxes were in response to a couple of people who said it looked a bit messy/busy….so I listened and came up with this. Cheers
This is a great idea, I’ve recently started playing uku and having been playing guitar for over 40 years, I know the chord shapes for guitar and often on G, Em, D, so your chordaoke with both chord diagrams is a great help.
THANK YOU, I am now playing a couple of pieces on my uku with confidence.
Hi mike,
Excellent new system,and I look forward to seeing you produce new videos,,,,,are you going to update any of the previous chordaoke releases???????
Best regards Dennis a loyal customer
It just gets better and better – how do you do it? This is a real winner, fantastic Mike.
I’ve looked at other “teaching” web sites and nothing comes close to this. The best ever.

Really appreciate the new layout/format. With practice and this new format, I might make some real progress. 🙂
Just the job Mike Cant wait to see things on,Line Great to see that you are back in true form.
Kind regards and best wishes
Colin
Thanks Colin. It’s taken a long time to get buzzing again….but I’m back.
Must be your best ever, Mike.
Thanks Peter….I have to agree with you. It’s a long rocky road and you look back and think ‘why didn’t I think of that ages ago’

Thanks so much Rod. Really appreciate it. Mike
EXCELLENT
that’s brilliant Mike, very clear and straightforward 🙂
Thanks Siggy
Great job Mike!!!
I will definitely buy if you do a new set of songs. I already have purchased your older sets.
Keep up the great work!!
Thanks Charles. I have a good few new sets lined up in this style.
Looking Good Mike, keep up the good work.

Hi Mike
What a fantastic change from your first 20 strumming songs which I purchased years ago.So much more professional and simplistic.I still enjoy
Looks Good
Looks good Mike – and easy to follow
It looks good, and I was pleasantly surprised to find you used that particular song for the example. One of my “music friends” (who runs a karaoke business and plays guitar) really likes “When You Say Nothing at All,” so I think she’ll like this.
Very impressive demonstration.

This is a “must have” for me.
Excellent.
Hey Mike,
This may sound like a dumbass question, but why not just do 2 seperate versions one for guitar one for uke? Otherwise someone is going to say “hey Mike, add Bass” and pretty soon you have lost your simplicity.
You are still my hero!
Hi Joe, It takes months to produce a set. I could do one set for each….if I doubled the price ;0(
When will you have this available?
The first set of 20 will be about 10 days. Then I’ll do a brand new set and then work on some of the older sets. Cheers
Congratulations, I think this is great! It makes following the chords so much easier. As a perpetual beginner learning has just become one step easier . . .
Thanks Ian. Much appreciated. Mike
mike this is great both for longtime guitar players and the very many uke beginners cant think of anything better regards tony
Mike, each time you create something that we think can’t be improved upon, you go right ahead and improve it.
Mike Herberts, un-sung Genius!
Thanks for everything once again Mike.

Thanks Ian. When I play uke i get lost after about 3 chords as I’m making the mental transposition…..as you say…this solves it. Cheers. Mike
THAT is great!! Really great!!! I think you’ve got in an amazing innovation here.
Thank you Stefan….if only I’d thought of it earlier. Mike
beautiful! That, I would purchase! Just keep bringing out new songs.
Thanks Cathy…lots of new songs will be coming out in this style.
Hi mike,

Thanks Dennis. I will update all the previous sets. OMG…..it’s a long job…but worth it. Thanks. Mike
Mike – this style of video is exceptional. So simple to follow. Well done my friend.
Thanks Ian. It’s that kind of encouragement that kept me going
Leave any comments etc here…..Thanks.
EXCELLENT! SO easy to follow…
Thanks for taking the time to respond Paul
That’s better. Much clearer and not cluttered. What a difference the little boxes make. Well Done.
Thanks Reg….it was a flash of inspiration.
