I've been playing this song for a couple of years, but it never sounded the way I wanted it to. This lesson teaches an easy but effective picking pattern, and timing examples that really pulled the song together for me. And a free TAB to boot! Very grateful, thank you NGG.

I feel blessed because I’ve found this extraordinary lesson . Thanks a lot for this , Sir

Pick 'n' grin, m' frin'!

A lifetime favourite . Wonderful , thank you for this .

You are so worth coming back to ! Many thanks for yr detail that explains so much to an older ever beginner !

Stoked!!! My Monday just took a turn for the better.

I spent Saturday afternoon playing with you in this very interesting video! Thank you for the good time I had and for all your advice! Hi! From Barcelona! Frederic

Another excellent lesson. Ready to play!

Love that you have made this so easy that I can play it! Thank you!🥰

Oh so very helpful! Thank you for sharing!

Nice, thank you! The reason they don’t call it a D major 6 is because it isn’t. The triad, major is the default, so when you see mine or after record, they are talking about the triad, when you see the word major, they are talking about the seventh. To make it easier for people to understand, imagine when you see any cord, if there is not the word minor, insert the word major in your mind for the triad. So D major 7 would be D major, major 7th. If you see simply D7, it’s D major, with a flat seventh, The flat sevens being the default. When you go against both defaults you have to spell it out, that’s why D minor major 7 is completely spelled out. It’s a D minor triad with A major 7th. So simply put, the triad default is major. If minor not stipulated after the triad name, it is major. If a major 7 i’m not stipulated after, it is a dominant seventh or flat seventh or minor seventh. This is simply minor and major triads. When the triad is diminished, the 7th is double flatted. Like anything else in mathematics or music, look at it for a half hour a day, it might be something that you don’t feel you are getting, or it will make sense and then suddenly you lose it and it is difficult to make sense of it again. But when the lightbulb goes on, everything falls into place and it is very simple.

So cool so smooth so nicely explained Love this simple song 🎵 ❤ Campbell miss that man

Hey bro. Thanks for clearing up a few things on that tune for me.

Great lesson. Sold info works.

I've always loved Glens music since the 60s and since I'm not an accomplished Guit picker and been trying half heartedly since Iz 15 yrs old,I have to say that gives me some hope,since I can barely Travis pick,amazing memories of Mr. Campbell flash thru gently in my mind!

Good breakdown with the picking!

Great tutorial, thanks

Thank you.

Awesome lesson, your teaching style is wonderful...

Thanks ! That’s what I call a perfect lesson , very clear description, great to follow ! Can‘t stop watching !

Great lesson… Such a beautiful Song! Thank you… helped me to feel the Song and relax my playing!

Wow! Excellent.

Thanks, I learned some good stuff;;;

Thanks so much for all of these videos!!! I'm going to have to find work in Nashville so I can take lessons from you in person.

great lesson

Cheers Dave, happy new year to you and your family, 🥃

superb xxx

Beautiful, thanks, this is great , were making progress on this lovely song 😊

Great song and a really great the lesson. Cant wait to get off of work to give it a try.

Thank you. It definitely improved my playing .

Thanks you, very informative, interesting and enjoyable. Nice sentiment too, wishing you and yours the best. Hopefully not too long now before we can hopefully put all this behind us.

Thank you David, happy new year to you and yours.

Thanks for this Dave and a safe and Happy New Year to you and your family!

Love it ! Thank you

Thank you for sharing this beautiful song and your talent! I've been looking for a long time to find a tutorial that mimics the live performance when he was on stage with Roy Clarke and others! (older video) Now to find the lead he plays!!!

Is that a Larrivee guitar you're playing? It sounds great.

Dave, love this song and the picking sounds great when you do it. I am having difficulty following the instruction on this. It would be helpful for me at least if you inserted a "stake in the ground" tab for the basic pattern. Having to sort the basics out from all your commentary and options adds hours to the learning process for me.

D chord with the pinky stretched to the 5 th fret

Hi Dave. I wonder if you could do a approximation lesson of Johnny A's version (totally cool) of "Wichita Lineman"? He uses a electric, but i think it could be done on the old Larivée. "Rainy Night in Georgia" also uses the regular D and the flat D to good effect. I like your lessons. Thanks.

i wish you did the Lisa Ono version too, man its beautiful

Excellent even when I trying the travis pick it just didn't sound right I can sort of see y now

Usually done in C.

While you're a good teacher, It's so annoying when the full song isn't played AT THE BEGINNING during a lesson like this. Like, I have no idea what I'm even shooting for when I view this.

Thank you for this. I looked at this video and your tab. For the second part of the verse it seems you play only D and Dmaj7 and not the D6 chord, right? In the tab it says D6 but actually its the same notes as for the D in the fingerpicking pattern. Did I understand correct? Greetings from Sweden

not giving up but not easy , that e minor change to a, and the rhythm is tricky too. maybe it will come from the tab, will keep you posted. i like the pick but as yet i am playing from and cant get a likeness of sound

You mention a tab for the picking pattern...where would I find that?

Great lesson, but is anyone else picturing Brad Dourif playing guitar?

Would have been nice to hear it played through once. Too much boom chicka.

Never hand drum with a ring on:)

Sorry to criticize, but this is an advance song to be teaching. You do a great job explaining the chord structure, but you take to much time explaining the basics. Advanced guitar players don't need the picking pattern, in my opinion they only need the chord progression. Good job on the video and thanks for posting it.

Sorry...lost me at the vibrato on each and every note!! Quite irritating. And who says it's in "D" ?? That's very SUBJECTIVE. I play it in C because it fits my vocals...

Love that song but the guitar is slightly out of tune 😊

I dont agree with the boom chick strum, it has to be more fluid, try singin at the same time.....

Sorry, but the great John Hartford wrote this song.

Need lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️

Talk more than teach

Hi Boys 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
