      Hi Justin, I have seen many covers of this song using a 12 string guitar. Does that cover the two guitar parts, or just add some depth to a single guitar cover?

      @stillkickinbandgeorgianbay900 2 года назад +1

      Hi Justin, respect and appreciate yourself, and the channel.... But, when Tom is playing this, he's using all down strums, and only using his wrist movement. Not swinging his arm at the elbow. And he uses an FM7 chord shape, but keeping his pinky fretting finger on the high "e" string throughout the song. Easy, and smooth transition to the C chord as you pointed out. The Am is perfect. But he sus4's the G chord in rhythm as he strums.
      These aspects I have found from studying live shows, and film from live shows. All the best to you Justin, as you are a tremendous reference on RUclips, and I think your channel is one of the best available. Be well, and happy holidays to your family and yourself.

    Great lesson for a great song! I have been trying to play Learning to Fly for almost 30 years and always thought to myself, "this seems like it should be easy, but something is missing." You really captured Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' genius in this song -- the mastercrafts of timing and precision. (See also the "perfect cup of coffee" story by Warren Zanes.) The 2nd guitar on capo gives this song the sound of a whole symphony of strings.
    Thanks for giving me new insights on one of my all-time favorite songs. Can't wait to see your other Tom Petty lessons coming up.

    Fantastic. I suggest this getting smoothly between chords: I don't hear the high e-string in the recording. If you just plat the inner 4 strings A-D-G-B, keeping the index down on the B string for all but the G chord, I think you get something like the signature sound. That and as you demonstrated well, the consistent strumming.Your lessons are gold - I will become a paid subscriber shortly.
