Got my first YouTube troll telling me how bad I was at playing Shadows songs and I had done the amazing Hall & Collins an injustice in his words, sorry Charlie 🤷♂️😂 Matthew

I wouldn't worry too much Matthew, we all get it from time to time. People are entitled to their opinion but that doesn't necessarily mean they are entitled to be nasty about their opinion!

Well said Steve. Keep the posts coming, you are doing ok. The previous posts you've put on with you playing has been good , definitely improved each time I listened to your playing. So don't let anyone put you down! Keep practising and posting on this site.I know you are trying, make them jealous of you. You will get nothing but encouragement from people on this site Matthew.

Ask them to post a link to their YouTube channel where they’re obviously playing better than you. That generally shuts them up.

Tim. well said Tim, we all have to learn,and i said learn not learned as we still keep learning all the time,This is not a stand still thing, and Matthew........... take absolutely no notice, because it's really cleaver to hide behind a keyboard and slag somebody off,the closest this idiot has probably come to playing a shadows tune is miming with an air guitar to "Apache"
Best wishes Matthew keep playing and dont be put off

Agreed all round! In a weird way - it is a kind of tribute that someone feels insignificant enough to troll you - it is merely jealously and it a sign that you are doing things well! The best footballers are always booed - so take the negative and make it a positive. Keep playing Matthew and keep believing in yourself.

Just remember Matthew that those who can do and those who can't usually become critics, or often teachers

He’s just a troll he has no videos 1 follower and has liked all these people doing Shadows covers , I said let’s see you do better, he’s probably jealous cause he can’t play guitar. The last time I got something that nasty about my playing was off my guitar teacher when I was 12 years old, I quit after that and I’m mostly self taught Matthew

No worries Matthew,
Your doing fine and you've fun with your playing, and your fellow guitar peeps in here are in the same boat.... that's what count!! There are always critics on the side... I know a player, who plays all over Europe on stage with a attitude as big as a house , telling people that he plays better then Hank! Stage nerves non....it doesn't bother him,because he's the best!! At the same time....he can't hear his guitar isn't in tune the whole show on stage. When peeps told him, he goes ballistic and he still thinks and tell he's a god-given talented guitar-player and everybody else is playing and sounds cr*p in compare with him!!
It's all between the ears.
So keep playing!
Cheers Rob

Matthew, don't be put off in any way by nasty people with too much to say and keep coming back here.
We are all learning all the time at whatever level. All the folk that post on here are willing to help others and I was recently nudged forward by one of our members AlanMckillop. He gave me the inspiration to consider recording using an iphone. I've yet to figure out how you push the start to record button without that appearing on the video or how to edit that bit out, but that will come. Further, you are able to put these videos onto the internet or sites like this. I can't, yet, but I'm hoping to learn with the help of members like you that can. So, your site needs you.
Best wishes, g'day and cheers mate,
Mick
