It didn't even take me 30 seconds to like it. Some people have this endearing vibe about them & with the family's involvement - truly, a Simple Man. Loved the lesson!

This is the first song I ever worked on, and to this day I work on it nearly every time I pick up my guitar. There’s so much variation in how you can play it, it’s always fun and interesting. Can be quite a challenge depending on what you wanna do with it.

loved this lesson Kevin! I really like the relaxed version you played - sounds real nice. Question: what picks does Maggie like the best? I'd go with the medium myself lol! Thanks for another great lesson - you made this song sound so flowing and it is actually relaxing .. nice job

Brilliant way of teaching a relatively complex picking pattern that requires hand and eye coordination. I would offer the best tutorial for beginners and intermediate players on KZfaq for this song. I am the the latter, and learned the song in 20 minutes following your clear easy to understand explanations. Just became a subscriber. 👍👍

😂stressing me out too. But how do you tune down? Do you have to re-tune guitar strings to diff notes? Mmm probably but how do you know what to change them too, guess by ear maybe or is there a quick fix 😅 tkx u all xx

@Relaxandlearnguitar Жыл бұрын

Lol. You will need to use a tuner and tune all the strings down 1/2 step. So Eb Ab Db and so on.

@veraoates9018 11 ай бұрын

I’m no expert but at around 3:50 after explaining the strum missing beat two you’re playing DDDDU or that’s what it looks n sounds like .. sorry to be pedantic as it sounds good anyway

I love this lesson Kevin but I was having the same problem. I just could not hear that missing second strum ; so I finally went to the comments to see if anybody had the same issue. Glad to find the answer. And it sounds great with DDDU.

I don't understand it some days I can barely get anything to come out the guitar and then some days I sit down and play the song flawlessly within a couple hours

That happens. It’s important to play a little a day because it all stacks up and then it clicks and it’s great!
