so much respect to you man, your taste in music is impeccable which means you seems to consistenly do tutorials to songs i absolutely love. Seems like this one is a bit more of a beast than i realised. i cant wait to get it down.

Ah, thanks man. Love this comment. Just sharing great songs! Yeah, this one is quite difficult but FUN and worth the effort. Lmk what else the channel is missing and please consider monthly support. As you can imagine this channel is no small labor! good luck with it.

Chris is a trip to see in person . He Mikes his feet tapping on a piece of particle board so he is his own percussion guy.

Ha, love it. He's coming to Pittsburgh in Sept! Excited to catch him. He's also like 80 plus years old and still Pickin!

Great instruction, as usual. Would love to see you take on another Smithers classic: Link Of Chain. Thanks, Mike.

Great suggestion! Do me a favor and send me an email, or better yet consider Sponsoring the tune over at Mikesmusic Method.com

I can tell this one will take me a while, thanks for making it possible!

@MikesMusicMethod Ай бұрын

it's ridiculously complicated. My approach would be to just think of each measure in and of itself as a month long study. If you take that approach you'll get immense value from it. But if you try and think you'll get the song you might burn out and waste time.

@blutack7462 Ай бұрын

This is brilliant! Well done for demystifying that right hand pattern, Mike!

@MikesMusicMethod Ай бұрын

Thanks man. Yeah, heck of a tune. Took a bit of time to crack the nut, but persistence!

@uncleschuck Ай бұрын

Perfect, thank you sir. I guess I'll see you in about a year when I have it halfway sloppy learnt

@MikesMusicMethod Ай бұрын

Lol. Sounds about right. Go slow. Try and tackle a measure or two a week. That's still legit progress.

@philliptanswell7159 Ай бұрын

Thank you so much for this Mike. I tried to get it from Chris Smithers teaching it but he goes through it to fast for my slow brain! Your highly detailed, bar by bar analysis is exactly what I what I need. After 6 days, I’ve got the first 8 bars solid at about half (?quarter!) speed and I actually think I can get it. I can’t thank you enough . I’ve subscribed to your site. Regards.

how's the progress on it coming along!?!? And yeah, sometimes the great players arent always the best teachers. Teaching is an art form in and of itself.

Such a great song and awesome tutorial. You’re a champion, a shining light in this dark digital world

Epic. Been searching for this for months. Thank you so much. $$$

Glad I could help! Dive into th channel, let me know how I can help, and please consider supporting.

On a more serious note.. Is it just me, or does this piece sound like it has some Hawaiian slack key influence on it?

@MikesMusicMethod Ай бұрын

I think you're hearing the double stops being slid up and down the neck. It definitely replicates a pedal/lap steel/Dobro kind of thing.

@keithesaurus Ай бұрын

The part where you messed up at the beginning made me laugh. No offense intended.. You’re light years beyond me on guitar. I laughed because I’m watching someone slip on a complex piece of playing, and I can’t even pick my own songs on video without messing up each take. Something about being recorded gives me nervous fingers. 🙄

@MikesMusicMethod Ай бұрын

Yeah. You just embrace it and keep rolling. People often don't realize that to get a piece performance ready can take literally hundreds of rehearsals of the song. At the moment my performance days are behind and hopefully in front of me. But currently I'm a dad and a teacher. So if I can't get the thing by take 10 I'm just publishing what I got! Ha, not enough time in the day to do it all.
