Hello ! Just a few words to tell you that I am an "absolute" beginner with guitar and that my goal with it is mainly to play Donovan's songs, whom I am a big fan. And thank's to you, I'm on my way ! You're a very good teacher and, moreover, very sympathic ! Thank you ! (from France)
this is so helpful, thank you so much! I am trying to figuring out the step down part and keep stopping to catch what you're doing, I think I'm getting it --really appreciate how you teach.
Marty, love your videos and the entertaining way you present the lessons. You are a great player and very inspiring and encouraging to people wanting to learn.
Marty, Love this song and you show what makes it so distinctive. I downloaded guitar tab sheet music but struggled. You show how to do it. Looking forward to practicing this. Thanks soo much.
Great lesson. As a beginner who's struggling with small hands this lesson really helps since the song books have bar chords I can't handle. Your lesson is very easy to follow so thank you.
It helps alot if you tune your guitar a half step down. There will be less tension on the strings so it will be more comfortable to make chords. Especially if you are a beginner…
Thanks Marty a lot of great info in this lesson, especially for beginners wanting more. This song is a great example of how a few simple chords strummed and picked with thought can create such a beautiful tune.👍
Hey Marty, Just got your new DVD in the mail today. I love being a lifetime member and getting all your new dvd's as soon as they come out. Keep em coming!!
Great. I am getting back into guitar after a long time away, or at least a long time not really paying attention to my strumming. This one was very, very helpful! Thanks!
This is very helpful. Thanks very much. One thing I've noticed that you can do, on the second C on the verses momentarily take the pinky off the top string and let the E note (well actually the G note as it's capo 3) ring out. It matches with the vocal, when he sings 'uncertainty'.
Dear Marty your videos are a wonderful way I witch the average man or woman can ENJOY their instrument and bring joy into the lives of many your contribution to society is some thing to be praised carry on brother 👍❤️
I love coming across your lessons. This was a great one. I adore this song and you illustrate and explain the technique in a way that gives me confidence that I might actually play it like that one day! Coincidentally, there was a link to a live 1960's performance of it by Donovan on the page. Going to revisit that magic right now to observe and listen to what you have just taught! Thanks, great stuff!
Thanks for teaching me to learn "Catch The Wind your an excellent teacher and guitar player, i will carry on practising. All The Best Ken. ( Chester UK )
Hi mate im cal reason from chester lol its not the best teaching not like donovan really . Find a real folk teacher in cheshire. Im a vet of 45 years retired now .these lessons are entry stuff good luck cal reason. I have a hundred thousand fans.
marty's awesome, i'd say of all the youtube guitar teachers i thought the same a while back and i'd say 80% is thanks to marty! watch afew he has a good clear pace and way of explaining things about playing
Hi Marty, been watching your videos on RUclips since last September. I couldnt play a single note. I'm getting there at last. So wished I learn't at an earlier age. (50 now)whispers ;) Thanks very much matey, I play every day, thanks to you. Take care
wow, another you tube channel i have been watching is David Taub from rock on good people, and i just got an email from him recommending you, its funny i had picked you two guys from all the vids i have seen and here he is recommending you, i hope i can become a lifetime member too.
Marty, you're the best. If anything, the capo. I know its necessary i guess to follow the a truthful rendition. I've been playing this song for many years and never used capo. Everybody sang along. Love your lessons. Capos...can we ever do without them. (makes it easier for the piano player)
Donovan used a schubb capo not necceassary just to meet the singers pitch its a teen level song very easy lacks explanation indeed your right .hes out as the level you see and happy .go fuether find top guys in folk clubs mate . Cal reason folk blues legend.
