dont know why people are constantly criticizing him for small things...the truth is only 2 % of you guys are really going to practice this (watching this tutorial)... if you actually go and try you will realize how beautifully he has explained it each and every part.... it was my dream to play this song on guitar and he made it possible thank you Assaf thanks for making my dream come true :)
because these "small things" are the basis of a correct way of playing guitar and music comprehension. So people like me struggle to understand how you might call a channel like this "educational" and a guy like him a "teacher". When I look at videos like this I feel that not only my job as music teacher, but the meaning of music itself is deeply missunderstood. And, honestly, if I came across a guitar teacher like this at school I would have felt teased. By the way. This is not school, this is the world wide web, his channel is successful and apparently, he meets people need by gifting his very approximate knowldge. Fair enough.. PS. my advise:Tommy Emmanuel himself makes great tutorials. And.. if they're too difficult just find a real teacher. I would be happy to help as well.
LOVE this format of you walking us through with tab at the bottom. Much better and personal than anything I have seen on the web! Thanks for the great tutorials on behalf of a number of learners.
I'm sure it's just me - a mental block or something - but l personally have a hard time reading the hand-written tabs. The verbal instructions are great but I'm having problems with the written ones.
As a lefty, I thank you for patiently explaining each step, especially the first 4 bars. Out of all of these tutorials on Classical Gas, I find your interpretation The Best for my learning style. Thank you, and I look forward to subscribing and find other songs on your page.
BEST GUITAR TEACHER!!! I tried to learn that song for 8 years of my life and always got discouraged after the intro haha. Now I know how to play it entirely! Many thanks to you!! Greetings from Montréal Joanne
Dude. Just spent the last 3 hours going over the whole video. Thx to you, I can play it, even though it's at a slower tempo. Wewt, you're awesome man - subscribed!
You are the best teacher ever. I love it when you just read my mind when i dont understand a part and you explain it again like 3 seconds after. You sir are amazing
The only person/persons who would give this a thumbs down is either jealous, tone deaf, or both. I second every positive comment made about your talent & teaching. simply, brilliant.
No offense, teachers are supposed to be able to play and possess the knowledge of music. I can't see both, but if people do.... Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
27 people didn't have the patience to learn. I have watched this video completely, only once, and i've already come halfway. The timing actually ís clear, if you listen to what he plays (especially the fast parts), instead of what he says. There's a few tricks involved that i don't master well enough, but i will, most likely because of this video. Just close your eyes and listen, it will all become clear, after repeating several parts of the video a few times. Love the way you explain these things. Also, you remind me of someone i used to know, that made things even easier (although the tables were turned, in that example xD) Keep it up, and make me learn stuff! ;D
Since 1970 (when I first heard this song) to this day....I have thought that CLASSICAL GAS is the very best song every written in the history of the world. Mason Williams (the composer) was truly God-inspired and many people have said the same thing. It is absolutely my personal favorite and will always be. I really appreciate your playing ability as well as how carefully and methodically you explained it. Thanks you soooo much !
It is a metaphor of our life. It begins with our child stage, it covers our growing, our emerging as adults, then frenetic work or family life, then some calming, aged life helping society or family, then finally our peace. 👍😉
Amazing tutorial and playing! I do wanna respectfully mention that at 18:30 , the correct chord to play is BbMaj7 add b5 /A (in layman's terms it's String 5: open, string 4: 3rd fret, string 3: 2nd fret, string 2: 3rd fret, string 1: open). You're a great guitarist and teacher.
Oh my, you've learned two words, and can put them together. What an improvement. Oh, and you spelled them right too. A whole four letter and three letter word. I'm so proud.
I know you put this up years ago, but wow, thank you for this. For taking the time to learn it, play it, and share exactly how to play it. A gorgeous song from my childhood that reminds me of sitting in the living room with my parents as they read and listened to records. When I would hear the start of Classical Gas, I would join them in there just to hear it. I'm beginning to learn fingerstyle, and am most of the way through learning Dust in the Wind, with the ultimate goal to get to Classical Gas level fingerstyle ability. Again, thank you.
THANK YOU so much! I've been wanting to learn Classical Gas for YEARS, but I never could get it by just looking at tabs and listening to the song over and over again. Having someone actually sit there and break it down was awesome(in the truest sense of the word). Thanks again. =)
Your teaching skills are top class I’m glad you got to speak with Tommy Emmanuel in ur interview it was amazing thank you for all the music you taught us lad cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪
I have been noodling this tune since it first came out and now thanks to your tutorial, It has all come together! Thanks for your valuable time and effort in making this.
Awesome tutorial Tried to learn this from sheet music and failed miserably, partly because Mason's recording is arranged for orchestra, so my ear could not follow. It took me about 10 days but got it here. On to something even harder now. Thank you!
You are a very passionate and patient teacher. If only you put your efforts into teaching the kids how to read music in standard notation. You clearly know your stuff and have a gift for it.
Thanks very much for this tutorial. Classical gas is one of my all time favorites. I haven't picked up the guitar for a while and this has given me the kick to learn it all the way through. Cheers!
Much thanks for this lesson; Classical Gas is the reason I picked up a guitar but I never got around to learning it properly until now - greatly appreciated.
Thank you ! You are a great teacher, its funny watching you online it seems like you have endless patience, even though i have to watch each segment 50 times ! Thank you again !
Thank you. Never in a million years did I think I would ever be able to play this. This song was like my Mt. Everest...but now here I am. I'm gonna be a big hit the next time I visit the retirement home...practicing night and day 'til fingers hurt and loving it. I started with your "Besa Me Mucho" and am in tune with your teaching style, then I saw you had Classical Gas. Thx. again. I got the intro from another site and am putting it all together. I'll post a vid after a few months of practice.
Nice video man really like how you've taken the time to break it down and do it slowly AND name the chords and the theory behind it. Awesome useful video lesson!
Very pleased with you teaching, I have played for many years, but really enjoy your arrangements and music selection. You are very talented, and I learn a lot, at fifty-nine, still captivated by Guitar. Thank you..
It's okay. Let me try to explain: C is x32010, while C9 is x32030. The C note on the B string moves two frets up to the D note. That's the C9 I'm using here. The C9s you find are, I assume, shapes of the jazz chord C9, which has both the seventh note and the ninth, making it something like x3233x. So basically, you are correct in noticing my pinky pressing the B string on the 3rd fret, while the C chord is still on, turning it into a C9 chord. Hope that explains it.
I'm pretty mush as close to being as new as you can be to the world of guitar. And I have made a few short song myself, but nothing like this have I EVER tried to play. I figured I'd see if being as new as I am could play something that to me is pretty advanced. And I have probably watched the first little part 15 times already and finally got it down, You explain it so simply. I'm going to make my Grandpaw proud with this song And that, is thanks to you. Thank you so much!
Brilliant. Thanks for your effort, dedication and commitment. Awesome. Took me a few weeks but this is a magical piece taught here by a master. Appreciated.
Thank you very much my friend. This was easy for me to follow and is sounding great. After I've played this version 1000 times, I'll try the more advanced version. Keep up the great work! I'm an instructor myself, and am well aware of how the instructor needs to be in sync with the student, and I think your teaching method is fantastic. People who complain about the tabs probably have never tried to tab a complex piece like this, and people who can't follow the lesson probably need to try something easier. Being able to go through this piece in 35 minutes is incredible.
I believe that every guitarist should master this peace... It's a magnificent peace with all combinations arppegieos Finger postitions that are used in almost every song out there by every artist.. Besides that it's a peace everyone of all age groups will love to listen to.. I thank you for doing a very detailed lesson on this peace.. Especially for those beginner guitarist that wanna have a good challenge.. Thanks bro. )
Awesome lesson.. I had figured out some of the intro and song just by ear, but this is one of the best lessons I have ever seen!! Excellent playing & teaching… (2 different things, I am a horrible teacher)
dude your amazing... i could sleep to this :*) i love how much time you put into your channel and vids even tho your not payed to do so. simply amazing... please keep it up!!! thank you!!!
Hey dude, thanks a lot for this awesome tutorial video, i´ve had quite fun playing along with you , thanks for teaching me this great song. by the way, some people say your tabs are confusing and indeed, they are if you´re not watching your video but if you do so theres no problem in understanding them and playing along with em, thanks!!!
Dude, nobody cares about the video quality. This guy's a genius guitar teacher and his lessons are excellent. You buy him a new camera if it bothers you that much.
This is an awesome version of this timeless piece. Your skills are off the charts. Many thanks to you for taking your time to share this piece. One question: what happened to the D flat part, just after what you call the chorus?
Wow... why have I not found LickNRiff earlier? This is awesome for self learners like myself. Been struggling to play this on my own. Thank you! Btw, like the personal touch of sharing your handwritten tabs (though slightly messy haha). Cheers
I would like to say that you are very good as a teacher. I can fallow your lessons the way you present the material. The first piece that I learned was Greensleeves. I am now working on Classical Gas. I was playing the palindrome in the first line as B,E,D,E,B but it didn't sound like when you played it. I found that although the tab was showing the 2,0,2 on the D string you played it on the G string where it became B,A,G,A,B and when you got to the 2,0,2 you said you were on the G string so it became clear to me. I just wanted to let you know, Thank you for the great lessons.
hey da. This Video is so great and so humble. I Hope you´re still somewhere out there in the jungle, imagine when this Video came out the World was supposed to end. Farewell, i hope you teach me more about guitars and being humble.
I ve read s few negative comments which I feel are unjustified. I think the teaching is fine. Most of the best players don t make particularly good teachers. I ve taught advanced classical pieces that I couldn t comfortably perform to students who with practice did manage to perform well. I m sure many people are very thankful for Lick n Riff.
you are a really good teacher, you could do stand up comedy too. you have a fantastic personality and style, I really admire your ability. thanks for sharing with us.
A few things sound off but still sounds close enough so good enough for me:P, thanks a bunch overall fantastic lesson and good teacher so will absolutely sub!!
it looks like the tab is hand written, I bet it took you like 3 hours to write out. Thanks for making the tutorial, the beginning is similar to hearts intro to crazy on you in terms of chords
Your lesson videos are excellent. I watch two guys regularly for lessons, you and Marty Schwartz. I would love it if you could spell out your name, or give a slow pronunciation so my under-cultured brain can refer to you as something other than that licknriff guy that was probably born in a country that was part of the ussr. Again, thank you for your lessons, you are an excellent guitar teacher that throws in just enough music theory that it is informative but not intimidating. aslo, what is the piece of music that makes your arm band tattoo?
This is the best version of classical gas that I've found (that's well explained), and I'm wondering if you can put up a video for Andalusian Nights by Govi? If so, thank you a million times! I can't find the tabs for Andalusian Nights anywhere...
I never imagined I would ever play this show stopping tune. Thanks so much for putting this up. but is there an error in the tab? At 5:54 where you mention the palindrome. That little triplet is played on the G string, but you've got it written on the D string. You even say G string. Not how the tab is written. Had me confused a bit.
Fan-tucking-tastic! Just to clarify: in the tutorial section you said to play the opening section 4 times. But in the performance at the beginning of the vid, you only played it 3 times. And 3 times sounds good to me.
Thanks for this awesome lesson! O and I have a lesson request! Can you please make a fingerstyle arrangement on the Zelda theme? I really want to hear your take on this!!!
Also in response to joshanator1 below, I am so glad you were able to find something to criticize with this lesson!!!! I would love to see your lessons, I am sure they are 1,000 times better than licknriff!!!!! Oh wait, you are one of those guys that complains what everyone else does different than your tastes, and never actually accomplishes anything on your own!!!!!!! I get it!!!! Guys like you used to work for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very good explanation of a very difficult piece. Not sure how you keep your explanations of string and frets clear as you move back and fourth between bars. That would drive me to distraction, but you seem to pick it up from anywhere. Fantastic concentration.
The words "Thank-you from the bottom of my heart" do not adequately express my gratitude for the existence of this video.
dont know why people are constantly criticizing him for small things...the truth is only 2 % of you guys are really going to practice this (watching this tutorial)... if you actually go and try you will realize how beautifully he has explained it each and every part.... it was my dream to play this song on guitar and he made it possible thank you Assaf thanks for making my dream come true :)
Such an intelligent reply. You know a whole word, although you cant spell it correctly. Get a High School degree.
I learnt Steve Howe's Clap from LickNRiff and that was a 3 hour tut so why not?
because these "small things" are the basis of a correct way of playing guitar and music comprehension. So people like me struggle to understand how you might call a channel like this "educational" and a guy like him a "teacher".
When I look at videos like this I feel that not only my job as music teacher, but the meaning of music itself is deeply missunderstood.

@@marcolonghi7792 if you are a music teacher then why are you here hating on him....
Don't you have better things to do?
@@colehodgdon9529 I just use youtube and watch and comment exactly the way you do
There should be a special place in heaven for fantastic teachers like you !
LOVE this format of you walking us through with tab at the bottom. Much better and personal than anything I have seen on the web! Thanks for the great tutorials on behalf of a number of learners.

Greetings from Montréal
Joanne
You're right, and I have corrected it in the tab on the website. When you download the tab, that lick is correct. Thank you for pointing it out.
I have been playing for 48 years now. You make this song so easy and I love your version the most. Thanks!
Dude. Just spent the last 3 hours going over the whole video. Thx to you, I can play it, even though it's at a slower tempo. Wewt, you're awesome man - subscribed!
You are the best teacher ever. I love it when you just read my mind when i dont understand a part and you explain it again like 3 seconds after. You sir are amazing
This is a truly beautiful piece of acoustic guitar work. Thank you so much for sharing this with us
The only person/persons who would give this a thumbs down is either jealous, tone deaf, or both. I second every positive comment made about your talent & teaching. simply, brilliant.
I'm not here to show off my playing, I'm here to teach.
LickNRiff - Free Guitar Education now play Classical Gas
damned good at it too man thank you
Thank you 🙏
No offense, teachers are supposed to be able to play and possess the knowledge of music. I can't see both, but if people do.... Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.
And you did great

Keep it up, and make me learn stuff! ;D
Great! Now when I’m playing a folk song for a strike and my dad’s coworker Lenny tells me to do Classical Gas, I can!
Keep fighting the good fight.
Something different than "This Land is Your Land" huh?
SNUH!
Oh my god your dad too huh?
Mine's got an asshole for a boss
Thank you :) Glad you enjoyed it. Let me know how it goes!

Oh my, you've learned two words, and can put them together. What an improvement. Oh, and you spelled them right too. A whole four letter and three letter word. I'm so proud.
I love Mr. LickNRiff. I owe my learning of the guitar to you. You've taught me, I'm still learning and I'm grateful. Thank you dear Sire.
I know you put this up years ago, but wow, thank you for this. For taking the time to learn it, play it, and share exactly how to play it.

Just played it fully through for the first time! Great lesson, many thanks, much appreciated.
You are a very passionate and patient teacher. If only you put your efforts into teaching the kids how to read music in standard notation. You clearly know your stuff and have a gift for it.
You are a legend!!! Keep up the great work, your finger style handbook has become my bible!! Thank you
I already know how to play this but taking what i already know and your subtle changes has made it sound so much better!
Thanks very much for this tutorial. Classical gas is one of my all time favorites. I haven't picked up the guitar for a while and this has given me the kick to learn it all the way through. Cheers!
I've always wanted to learn how to play this song and now I can. Thanks so much for all the detail!
After a Month!! I Finally made it!! Muchas Gracias from México!!!
Much thanks for this lesson; Classical Gas is the reason I picked up a guitar but I never got around to learning it properly until now - greatly appreciated.

Started 2022 with a bang. Finally after months of practice, I nailed it today
15:35-"It's C chord for a second" You capture the miracle of it like no one else.
Nice video man really like how you've taken the time to break it down and do it slowly AND name the chords and the theory behind it. Awesome useful video lesson!
Fantastic teaching. (And playing). No - you are not confusing at ALL. It's not a simple song - but you teach it incredibly well. Thank you so much.
Very pleased with you teaching, I have played for many years, but really enjoy your arrangements and music selection. You are very talented, and I learn a lot, at fifty-nine, still captivated by Guitar. Thank you..
congrats! great tutorial! i watched it one week every day and i always learned a few hours a day, now I'm barely able to play it! THANK YOU! :)
took two weeks to finish, what a great guide. Thanks again, looking forward to learning from many of your videos
2 weeks and finally got it. a real patience test this one. thanks!
It's okay. Let me try to explain: C is x32010, while C9 is x32030. The C note on the B string moves two frets up to the D note. That's the C9 I'm using here.

That soung just melt mytroubles away thank for playing it
Dude, nobody cares about the video quality. This guy's a genius guitar teacher and his lessons are excellent. You buy him a new camera if it bothers you that much.
This is an awesome version of this timeless piece. Your skills are off the charts. Many thanks to you for taking your time to share this piece. One question: what happened to the D flat part, just after what you call the chorus?
you are actually the best teacher on youtube :)
Nice work! this was one of the first songs i learned finger style
Wow... why have I not found LickNRiff earlier? This is awesome for self learners like myself. Been struggling to play this on my own. Thank you! Btw, like the personal touch of sharing your handwritten tabs (though slightly messy haha). Cheers

Jackson Moore Thank you! I could not figure out why the sound was off for me-.
hey da. This Video is so great and so humble. I Hope you´re still somewhere out there in the jungle, imagine when this Video came out the World was supposed to end. Farewell, i hope you teach me more about guitars and being humble.
Great job regardless to what anyone says. this is a tuff piece and every thing helps . Thank you.
this song is so ritmic and beauty at the same time i will try i definitelly will
I ve read s few negative comments which I feel are unjustified. I think the teaching is fine. Most of the best players don t make particularly good teachers. I ve taught advanced classical pieces that I couldn t comfortably perform to students who with practice did manage to perform well. I m sure many people are very thankful for Lick n Riff.
great gradual and careful lesson, nice work
You are so cool. Thank you so much. I've been wanting to learn this, and you explain very well! 🤙🎈🙏
thank you soooooooo much for this! This song always makes me cry, it's so beautiful, and now I can finally learn it!
Thanks a lot for sharing and being so clear ! Congrats.
SUPERB ! I ve been waiting for this :D Great work, Assaf...! keep it up !
you are a really good teacher, you could do stand up comedy too. you have a fantastic personality and style, I really admire your ability. thanks for sharing with us.
This is really good. Basic way to learn. Good teacher!! Keep Going. The other videos were to complicated...
thanks man i stuck it out with you and got a pretty good handle on the song
You are one awesome teacher ! Thank you very much for your efforts !
I'm a fan !

This is awesome …..you are a great teacher! Thank you
Great lesson, I have knew the tabs before, now I totally got it. Thanks! :)
it looks like the tab is hand written, I bet it took you like 3 hours to write out. Thanks for making the tutorial, the beginning is similar to hearts intro to crazy on you in terms of chords
Trying to get back into playing, fingers are sore and only up to minute 7 but I'll be back tomorrow!
Thanks for this!
Amazing I am learning it now. Thank You
its not fair..ur a god..every time i watch you i get a headach :(
Your lesson videos are excellent. I watch two guys regularly for lessons, you and Marty Schwartz. I would love it if you could spell out your name, or give a slow pronunciation so my under-cultured brain can refer to you as something other than that licknriff guy that was probably born in a country that was part of the ussr. Again, thank you for your lessons, you are an excellent guitar teacher that throws in just enough music theory that it is informative but not intimidating. aslo, what is the piece of music that makes your arm band tattoo?
Loved the style....
And I must say....
What I've felt,
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown... (at the begining of your play)
Excellent tutorial! Finally learning it totally. Thanks!
This is the best version of classical gas that I've found (that's well explained), and I'm wondering if you can put up a video for Andalusian Nights by Govi? If so, thank you a million times! I can't find the tabs for Andalusian Nights anywhere...
I never imagined I would ever play this show stopping tune. Thanks so much for putting this up. but is there an error in the tab? At 5:54 where you mention the palindrome. That little triplet is played on the G string, but you've got it written on the D string. You even say G string. Not how the tab is written. Had me confused a bit.
took me awhile to figure that out too.
0:34 3:33 9:55 13:53
Fan-tucking-tastic! Just to clarify: in the tutorial section you said to play the opening section 4 times. But in the performance at the beginning of the vid, you only played it 3 times.
And 3 times sounds good to me.
Thanks for this awesome lesson!
O and I have a lesson request! Can you please make a fingerstyle arrangement on the Zelda theme? I really want to hear your take on this!!!
Also in response to joshanator1 below, I am so glad you were able to find something to criticize with this lesson!!!! I would love to see your lessons, I am sure they are 1,000 times better than licknriff!!!!! Oh wait, you are one of those guys that complains what everyone else does different than your tastes, and never actually accomplishes anything on your own!!!!!!! I get it!!!! Guys like you used to work for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He makes it look so easy
You sir, are the best!
very good explanation of a very difficult piece. Not sure how you keep your explanations of string and frets clear as you move back and fourth between bars. That would drive me to distraction, but you seem to pick it up from anywhere. Fantastic concentration.
thanks for the swag your wisdom is teaching our souls
