I like this lesson of yours...it's slower and calmer. It's just a perfect pace for teaching.. Thank you so much.

Excellent lesson. I am learning to play guitar and having a fun song that I can learn a skill with is awesome. Most other lessons just show the strumming.

I use a .70 pick and when first learning this song I just strummed G twice for an hour. I even include the false start from the Album now.

Shane. Thank you. Excellent teacher and teaching. You really break it down nicely. How do I get these sheets you are always looking at? Again thank you for your time and your videos. Can't tell you how much I learn from them. When I want to learn a song I see if you have done it! Got to find these sheets. I think they will help. Thanks again!

Hi Shane, absolute beginner here love the way you keep things simple for us newbies in your explanations, your doing a great job. Now i need to get some practice in. Downloaded the tab sheet for this and Horse with no name. Would you reccomend i stick to getting one right before moving on to another? Looking forward to learning from you .

@GuitarAtWork 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Ste Claire - thanks for your message - glad to have you with us. I think it's OK to have a couple of songs on the go and move from one to the other during practice - you might find it takes longer to master one but the longer term benefits are better. Cheers! Shane

@flewis 5 жыл бұрын

I was able to learn the pattern very quickly but just can’t tell where to get “scrubby” and need assistance. Watching you play it quickly for the few seconds you do and watching billy joe do it live is hard to follow and everything I do doesn’t sound right... any advice?

@GuitarAtWork 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Flewis - just try to 'widen' up your right hand when trying to get scrubby - just the right amount to fatten things up a bit. Cheers, Shane

@Onlythebesttracks 5 жыл бұрын

If you're only picking is there any benefit to holding that high E? Seems like its never touched. Feel like its holding me back, as i can change chords quicker if i dont worry about the pinky. Or is this counter productive in the long run? Surely those 3 notes are a chord in their own right without worrying about holding an extra fret for no reason. My pinky doesnt jump off like urs does when you switch to the D chord. It stumbles around like a drunk toddler. Thanks for the tutorial, its helped alot.

@Onlythebesttracks 5 жыл бұрын

Still tripping over myself but sticking with the pinky. My thinking is ill end up needing that chord in its entirety some day.

@GuitarAtWork 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Justin - sorry for a slow reply - it's a good idea to keep that pinky on even though you don't play that note in the riff. Cheers! Shane

@markhall7951 5 жыл бұрын

Helps just to play it through at pace for us guitarists. I don't need the explanation. Just play it through and call out the cords for a single version.

@stevewilson3139 Жыл бұрын

Your teaching this picking pattern wrong,dont bolt the right hand down,rest your right hand pinky on the high E string. Use the 2nd finger only n the G formation and ring finger on the B string,this helps the muting of the D string. Works a lot easier 4 me.

@GuitarAtWork Жыл бұрын

That is TERRIBLE advice - try to improve your technique. It’ll serve you well. Cheers, Shane

@iluvdarkthrone 4 ай бұрын

Personally, I prefer using the D-D-DUDU-UD-DUDU strumming pattern

Why does it matter if I do up or down it sounds same... Can I do alternatively down and up?

Thanks Jisan - typically if your foot is tapping down it's a down stroke - if your foot is up it's an upstroke. Cheers! Shane

@@GuitarAtWork one more thing what's the difference between the chords version and playing the individual notes?

@GuitarAtWork 4 жыл бұрын

JISAN BAIDYA it can sound much fancier with the individual notes. Then do the strumming after the first chorus. Cheers

I'll never get strumming I can pluck a bass all day can't strum for shit. So yeah, I give up but nice vid anyway.
