hello Good Guitarist i am just starting out i am 65 year old i live in Queensland Australia and i cannot get anyone to teach me they dont seem to have time for for someone my age most say i only teach school students so i found you on my computer which i have just got and teaching myself this i have found you to be my life saver i cannot thank you enough for what you put up on the computer thing how you break it down is just so good but i am struggling switching from c to d but as you say in your training things do it a hole bunch of times at the moment you are teaching me house of the rising sun its been a month but it will click one day so thank you for your time Mr teacher Regards Neil
Hey Neil, you're definitely not alone in your quest for learning guitar "later" in life. In fact, I have had students in their 80's, so you still have lots of time to master this beautiful instrument. It is so nice to hear that my videos are able to help you. I do offer some premium courses as well and they come with an online community with others the same age as you. You might feel less alone there in it all! Just a thought! All the best, James www.goodguitaristcourses.com/store
Awesome loved this, so easy and quick to learn. Practicing at 2:00 a.m. with the light of my iPad and picking so I can barely hear it so I don’t wake my husband. Can’t wait to play it for him in the morning.
@@Good_Guitarist lol a little underwhelming but not terrible, it turns out I don’t play as well in front of people, if I strum it I can go faster but can’t change chords as fast trying to remember the finger picking at the same time.
Hi James great tutorial. I know you probably get asked for requests all the time but I would love a tutorial on Helpless by Neil Young, one of my all time faves.
Absolutely fabulous. I told you that you could sing. Your instructional technique is second to none. Would you mind sharing the model of the Craftsman guitar you are playing on.
Ciao, ti seguo dall'Italia e devo dire che tra tutti i maestri o tali sei il migliore,i tuoi tutorial sono semplici ed intuitivi,ti seguo sempre,domanda che chitarra usi in questo video? grazie sempre ed al prossimo video.
Hey Mike, I wish I could offer them, but unfortunately it's super illegal to have them in a file ready to print. I have offered full playthroughs on my Patreon instead, and am still looking for ways that I can facilitate learning without stepping on any copyright feet.

Thank you for this:)
this has to be one of the most relaxing finger picking patterns...so soothing

How did it go?
@@Good_Guitarist lol a little underwhelming but not terrible, it turns out I don’t play as well in front of people, if I strum it I can go faster but can’t change chords as fast trying to remember the finger picking at the same time.
I have been strumming this for a few years now. I am really happy to find such an easy finger pattern to add to my repertoire.
Hey Farquar, yes, it's nice to be able to switch it up a bit. There's so much you can do with only one song.
I already knew the chords and the pattern, so I learnt the song in no time at all and could play along with you. Thank you, James!
Oh great! Glad you could play along with this with such ease.
Finger picking is pleasant to listen but it will take time to learn. Thanks a lot for uploading this video.
Hi Nirmala, yes, it takes a bit to get the hang of it to have it played evenly. stay on track and you'll get there.
Zaista je lako naučiti svirati na ovaj način , izvrsno objašnjavaš napokon mogu odsvirati bez greške 🥰 . Hvala!
Very good lesson James, and the vocal on the first run thru was excellent also!
Hey Bruce, thanks for the confidence boost! Glad you are enjoying the lesson.

Would you mind sharing the model of the Craftsman guitar you are playing on.
Ha! You were right! It's a Crafter guitar, it's quite old and they don't make the same model anymore...
I meant to say Crafter. Anyway, I’ve just played and sang happy birthday to my wife. Without you, I couldn’t have done it. Thank you.🎸🎸
Loving this teaching style, the best on the internet. This is my next song to learn. Thanks.
Hey Simon, cheers, thanks for the kind words.
Thank you. This is now my first song on guitar, and you helped me not to give up.
Happy to assist you on this major milestone!

Looking forward to the tabs. I have to follow print to learn!

I don’t understand then why next to the blue dot it says tabs, lyrics, music coming soon.
Thanks! Getting this one down pretty good, could you do "Waitin' in School" by Ricky Nelson?
Hey Luke, oh, nice! Glad to hear this tutorial is working for you. I'll check that Ricky Nelson song out.
James why are some teachers using tab reversed from the way you teach it? You always make it simple and easy to learn.
Hey, I'm not too sure... I am certain I do it the traditional way. Maybe post-internet people started doing it the other way?
