Having been going thru some of your older lessons recently, I was struck by how much they've changed over time. They're all great lessons, but your personality, sense of humor, joy in playing and happiness really shine through now! As we Americans approach Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for having Justin as my guitar teacher. Thank you so much!!
you're so great. For the holidays this year, I'm giving myself a gift of a hundred US dollar donation to you through paypal, and for all you've helped me, you deserve more.

@@sosig8332 You're an idiot. You don't know how long these videos take to make. Ad revenue isn't what it used to be. The amount of depth in Justin's lessons considering they're free is outstanding. GuitarTricks offers the same thing but you have to pay $20 a month!
I just learned and played the whole song in one hour, thats motivating! Thank you so much for your lessons and showing us how to rock! I especially love how you explain all the Rhytm patterns, Great Job, i will keep on learning :)
This is great Justin, the master teacher. One respectful suggestion for anyone learning this, in the chorus if you substitute the regular D7 for a Bar chord at the 10th and the G7 for a bar at the 3rd, they give you that great 'vampy' sound, especially if you keep lifting off and on, that Justin was talking about. It's better than the substitution in the video in my humble opinion. You don't have to awkwardly mute any strings and you get a fuller sound. Another happy bonus with barring at the 10th and 3rd is it's the same chord shape so you can switch easily (which makes me think this is what is in the recording). And to get to the 10th from the verse you can do a simple three note run down low E string (fifth, seventh and ninth fret) which takes you down the dusty end nicely.
I love how you say most people are gonna “have fun” with the chords. Those dm and a variations are a pain. Stay positive! Great song, and excellent lesson.
Has this song gave anyone else FITS?! I've been at it on and off for a few days and I think I finally have it but I still need to get it more fluid sounding. Also this is the only lesson that comes within a 100 miles of being correct. Thanks Justin, you're a saint!
I remember the long hot SoCal summer this song was on the radio. Perfect beach song surfin' all day and lazin' on the beach in those sunny summer afternoons.
You are fantastic in how you show how to play this. I got the basics down in a little over an hour and with practice hope to get close to good. Thank you so much.
Thanks Justin, you have a natural quality to teach and your lessons are enjoyable, picked my first guitar up last year at the age of 73 last ,struggling but hanging in with your help the hardest thing for me is not the chords and chord changes but picking up up the rhythm and getting the feel and accents of the song .sounds robotic if you know what I mean, Thanks mate !
Wow.... I tried this a year ago and couldn't get near the intro. I've just spent the last two hours at it with the rest of the song and I'm nearly there. Big thanks Justin
Great lesson as usual, nice and laid back and not too muso. Music first and foremost should be fun and I think Justin strikes the right balance between explaining the song and enjoying it at the same time.
Very nice lesson, thanks JustinGuitar!! this song is becoming popular once again because it appears in a movie from my country. my regards from Argentina!
I like the way you give the lesson. Just the right amount of explaining for someone who can already play some guitar. I've been playing the song for years, but I sing it in Am and haven't been able to do the full runs. (I'd need a baritone guitar with a low B string.) So guitar-wise, it seems that it's just gotta be in Dm to be fully correct, so I guess that with my lower voice I'm going to be stuck with not quite right guitarwork. Cheers.
Justin u are amazing I've been playing along time but if need to brush up on a song I forgot I simply check u out to freshen up and 10 out of 10 u have it right alot of so called music teacher on internet dont no how to play correctly.there are only a handful I like for rock,pop ect I go to you thanks buddy for yer videos ❤🎉
Thank you so much for this! I love the kinks and when I got my guitar I couldn't wait to learn some of true songs, this video is so helpful! I am finding it difficult but I will get it in the end🤞🏻
Excellent lesson and superb playing. I always loved this song and thought it was very clever but the lesson shows just how clever the kinks were. This was a time when great songs were around but most followed a fairly basic chord and blues background. Great innovation from the Kinks. Now just gotta try and play it something like this !
Thanks Justin, this a great tutorial. I'm a moderately experienced guitarist and I found it super useful, and it seems like one that would be really helpful to people who are at a more beginner level as well. And I like your style of presenting, which is pretty much just straight out explanation of the content, but manages to be pretty entertaining to watch.
Wow, these chords are a lot of fun, I'm almost there, thanks so much for this! btw it's a real achievement to keep a straight face and concentrate on the song while performing all that F-ing, congratulations!
Thank you very much for a great lesson Jason could never nail this one but your lesson has given me at least a couple more chords to go in it ( which I always left out) so once again many thanks.
Yes!! I've been trying to transcribe this, and I got most of the chorus right! ....Ish :P Very helpful lesson! I always love how detailed Justin's tutorials are. Btw, if you want to play the riff a single note at a time, like (I think?) they do at some points in the recording, play each of these notes twice: open D, 5th string 3rd fret, 5th st 2nd fret, 5th st 1st fret, open A, 6th st 3rd fret, 6th st 1 fret, open E. Also, that little thing at the very end is, I'm fairly sure, an open D and the A (2nd fret) on the 3rd string- I guess he was probably holding the whole Dmin chord, but he just plays those first two notes a few times.
I'm finding it much easier using the thumb to play the bass note run on the Dm chord as well. Just can't get my fingers to move fast enough using Justin's technique.
Having been going thru some of your older lessons recently, I was struck by how much they've changed over time. They're all great lessons, but your personality, sense of humor, joy in playing and happiness really shine through now!

@@Mattmaster776 does it hurt your feelings at the fact that they see you as a pay check? Sorry if that offends you but it’s true
This is a pretty darn high quality recording! Sounds great! Greating singing and guitar sounds awesome!
Just played it in 1.5 speed. Sounds cool, totally intelligible too :D

Had to come here to comment - I watched this video last week and it has made me very happy to learn. God save the Kinks and your videos.
Brilliant as ever, 18 thumbs down WTF?!! Some muppets clearly don't know what a guitar is!
im sure they were like "this is song is soo hard to play!" (thumbs down)

"he's effing every c7 i've got" hahah love your adlib lyrics bro, thanks for this
Very Kinky.
Un grand merci à toi Justin , surtout ne t'arrêtes pas, de la part d'un guitariste du sud de la France.

Came back to this after seeing it a year ago to learn for a gig. We're playing it gypsy style. Great lesson - very clear.

That IS a cool voicing! Thanks for breaking it down!
Really enjoy Justin's teaching

Nice. I love the chord progressions in this one. Looking forward to the challenge. Nice rhythm too to open up some doors for a learner. Thanks Justin!
Love the sound of your guitar.
Thank you very much for a great lesson Jason could never nail this one but your lesson has given me at least a couple more chords to go in it ( which I always left out) so once again many thanks.
