The best explanation thanks:) I’m curious about those other 2 chords u mentioned
Hi Frances…I’ve just added them to the bottom of the post, so if you reload that page, you should see the two chorus chords!
Cheers,

Irene, please move to the UK so that I can get lessons!! I’m a 68 yr old that desperately wants to play this beautiful instrument and had not ‘made’ any music, just plucked chords, but with your strum patterns for ‘A horse with no name’, I’ve done it!! I’m a guitarist!!! Changed chords and everything!! More instruction please. Thank you so much, you are a star!
many, many thanks from Bob Harris in Swansea, Wales, UK
Hi Bob…that’s funny, I was in the UK a couple of months ago…sorry I missed you 🙂 Thanks so much for letting me know how you succeeded. I do plan to do more videos over time. I’m just so busy teaching these days that I struggle with finding the time.
Thanks again for making my day!

Hi from Ontario Irene 🙂
I’m really glad that I found you! I’m new to guitar and this song is the first one that my teacher gave me to learn. I’m having trouble transitioning from an Em to a D 6/9 over F sharp. You give such a great explanation in breaking it down though, I really wish you could offer online lessons, I’d sign up in a heartbeat!
Hi Barb…I was in Toronto just a couple of weeks ago! My first time in your province 🙂
I have a huge load of students right now, and other work that I’m doing, but when things calm down I plan to do some more videos.
Thanks so much for your comments and I’m glad it was of help to you!
Cheers,
Irene

I just wanted to say well done and thank you for the very good video focusing on the strum pattern for The Horse with No Name. Also, an additional thank you for providing the strumming pattern diagram along with the words and chords to the song. You gave me something with this lesson I can take with me on my journey. Thanks.
Hi Bart…thanks very much for your feedback 🙂
Here’s to continuing your musical journey!

Hi Irene very mellow teacher easy to follow and understand I’ve got the strumming pattern down for the first 2 chords would love to hear you play the other 2 chord and how they are supposed to sound. Thanks for your help.
