Thanks for watching and playing along with me! My name is Stuart Lehman-Brown, a teacher, music store owner, and musician in the San Francisco Bay Area. After graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston, I set up shop performing and teaching here in the North Bay. 15 years and 50,000 lessons later I’m still going strong, and sooner or later I’m afraid I’m going to start posting videos of my dogs. It’s inevitable.

Can please go a bit slower especially at harder more intricate parts like plucking?
2k like!
youre very entertaining, learning is never boring. hahahah Thankyou
these are the only guitar lessons that stick with me. thank you uncle stuart ????
In 20 years this is most unhinged guitar lesson I've ever had
uncle stuart will you ever host a live zoom call so when we learn a song from you live??
ur so funny lmaooo i learnt!!!!
So ummm how does the whole song goes again? U said intro, a, a + g7, b, a, and then tag?? Huh
I love you

i'll try not to make it too uncomfortable
Thankyou so much Stuart,now i have something to play at awkward family gatherings ????
Loved all the tutorials you made it really helps me improve my guitar skills
Thanks unc
Hi, love your videos, so much fun. Would be annoying and ask a tiny little request to add chord diagrams so I can be sure I'm fretting accurately ????
do you know what Stuart, as a British person we usually find Americans a little jarring, and I did find your style a little hard to get to grips with when first learning a song with one of your lessons. But now I realise that you are the best teacher on Youtube and your song selection meshes almost perfectly with my tastes. Thanks so much!
well what if i wanna play the key change part
i still can't believe you did a tutorial on this song
"No bar chords, just pure pleasure."
Proceeds to show us how to play G in the most diabolical way possible
Im so sorry stuart i keep my mouth shut next time
Never had so much fun learning a song.
I bet you're such a good watch when high — even not playing with you, just watching.
Im learning this song since it was one my mum used to sing to me growing up and its stuck with me since.
(ps as a British person i can confirm we do say brilliant more often than you.)
Thanks for the tutorial Uncle stu!
didn't know a youtube lesson couls be that fun! Thanks♥
thank you stuart you always got me with such a banger
