HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Inspirational teaching. All done in one take no editing...and best of all everything's free. Rob you're the best.
Oh by the way, my son is 40 and he got it down not long after me and he's off the charts with happiness!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔🤔🤔Wonder what were going to tackle next from Rob, he really is the best teacher on RUclips!!👍👍👍👍
Cheers Jeff. Live stream tonight; 9pm. 👍🏻
Thanks a lot Rob, I’m one of them that can pick a little but don’t produce a song out of it, it’s mad innit.
Rob, you are Amazing. You mix Musical education and a bit of Humor!!
I'm 64 and have played all my life but not finger licking!
Bite sized , easy to digest and brilliant , cheers Rob.
Another brilliant lesson Rob. Just what I need. Thank you very much from Rob in Loughborough.
Hi rob i an an older beginner as well ,you have got it! thank you for your time and effort love your jokes and swearing a true FAN regards Mark Melbourne Australia
Hey Rob, Freight Train would be a good one to do. Thanks for all that you do.
Lived in West Kirby between 1965 and 1970 which puts me in the geriatric league now!! What a privileged time to be a teenager and to absorb the Merseyside vibe eh? Lovely part of the country, great people, many happy memories. Your humour and local accent bring it all back so clearly. Great times never to be forgotten.. All the best
I went to school in Hoylake and lived in Greasby as a kid. (Born in Liverpool).
Your way of teaching is exceptional, thanks for giving us your time.
You are a hoot mate! Love your style!!!!
Thanks Rob, been playing feeling groovy for sometime, Use it mainly to warm up. But now for Dolly. Looking forward to your teaching on the instrumental pieces, especially the bluesy piece. Thanks again.
Ha. Absolutely Brill. I love the fact you seem to really dislike the naming of the chords..."it doesn't matter what they are called, as long as you can play them", or words to that affect. I've been playing for 50 years, but still enjoy, and learn stuff from your tutorials. I'm from Gateshead/Newcastle so have a lot in common with Liverpool folk. Would love to have a pint with you. Maybe sign up for some of your lessons. Ha, you make me smile. Thanks ever so much...Rock on..
Reportedly, the guitar intro on "Jolene" was played by Chip Young in Nashville. (Though the Wrecking Crew did a ton of work in LA.) Thanks for the tutorial.
Hi Rob, thank you for this, struggling older beginner here, just discovered you're channel and it is a God send!! You're explanation, descriptions, and techniques are perfect for me, totally motivated to practice now with some structure 🙏 thanks bro.
Any chance of doing: Landslide by Fleetwood Mac and Norwegian Wood by the Beatles 🙏 love both of these songs
I’ve done both of them. Have a look back through my vids. Happy New Year! 👍🏻
@@fennahrob6934 thanks bro happy new year 🙏
Hi Rob,brilliant lesson as usual and I agree with you that Jolene is one of the best intro riffs of all time.
Hi Rob great lessons I started 5 years ago when I reached 60 its been frustrating at times but really enjoy playing. I can play quite a few songs with open cords but it has been a bit of a task with bar cords and finger-picking as the fingers are not as flexible now. I will carry on slowly as I know I will get there in the end. Thanks again for the great way you teach.
Hi from an Italian drummer who loves to play (poorely) acoustic guitar. Love your style and your SCOUSE accent!
Thanks for putting this up Rob. Need practice to get speed up. Have tried your Jolene previously but just can't nail it. Too slow. Will try again once I get feeling groovy better. Appreciate you sharing these lessons. Top man
Hi , I think that we all , perhaps in eagerness, sometimes perceive that we can play accurately at a faster tempo than actually we can . The short cut gradually
Excellent! Thank you, Rob!
Great stuff Rob, as always. But please that last piece you touched on by Donovan called Tangerine puppet. I would love to learn that , would you consider doing a video please....
Thanks 🙏🏻 again Rob 🎸🎸🎸🎸
I love your teaching style. Just discovered you today!
Love your videos. Your humor is priceless. I learn something too, lol.
Hi Rob,
Recently discovered your excellent videos during the Christmas break and have learned a lorryload of helpful stuff in a very short time. Love the Merseyside humour which always brings a smile to my face and adds to the learning experience. Used to live on the Wirral during my teens (about half a century ago!) and first picked up a guitar at that time. Only goes to show that the learning process never ends... Thanks a million for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us out here.
I live on the Wirral now; Wallasey, near New Brighton. 👍🏻😎
Thank you. Great video.
Awesome teacher and player!
Love his humor he really cracks me up, he's so Whitty and says the funniest things lmao!! I learned Jolene from his video and ill tell you it was a real tough one for me, but you just have to stick with it. Even when I got the separate parts down perfect (with speed), trying to put them all together was really hard for me (then something crazy just happened)!! I was setting in my chair watching tv practicing like I do a lot, and my son (who is also learning Jolene) yelled at me and said I did it perfect and I didn't even know it!! From that point it just fell together and I couldn't even see how I never got it before as it was so easy (just fell together)!! Now I can do it (full speed and even faster than full speed) and not even think about it, so Rob was exactly right when he said it was easy!! I'm 65 years old and think obviously everyone will see it fall together for them differently from everyone else, but when it does oh my what a feeling!! 🤔🤔🤣🤣😁😁👍👍👍👍Thanks Rob!!
You’re most welcome! 👍🏻🤠
Hi Rob i'd just like to say how refreshing i find your style of tuition. I've been learning guitar (you never stop learning) for years so i'm by no means a beginner but by the same token i've never considered myself accomplished enough to actually call myself a guitarist. Keep up the good work, keep posting, thank you and a HNY to you too.
Thank you!!
Excellent stuff. Always in awe when watching you and Al (Matey) back in the day and these are great lessons and inspiration for the lapsed player such as me to dust off the cobwebs and noodle away, Cheers.
Love the way you teach Rob .. 👏
I have just promised to learn some finger picking and this makes it look quite easy, have subscribed and will be looking at more of your videos thank you
Gotcha thanks
Please do a lesson on the blues you played at end of video!
Thanks Rob! GReat stuff as always! Really enjoying these videos!
Rob, your simple way of explaining is really helpful, especially picking and pecking. A happy new year 2024. you really fulfilled my with your video! Aslam
Thanks 🙏🏻 Rob 🎸🎸🎸
Happy new year mate.
Happy New Year sport.
Discovering , very recently , your vids , has been a delight . Love your way modest of getting to the basic bare-bones of things that I find inspirational , from very beginners to, seasoned players perhaps in need of post lockdown refreshers , (like myself).. .. Also , do you do any spots anywhere/info ,
Hi Rob
Thanks for this . I couldn't download the chord sheets for some reason. Probably me!
Could you do a tutorial some time for Angie Davy Graham. Bert Jansch arrangement that you played? Always wanted to learn it xx
Hi, just check download ad they’re working ok at this end. Try using Safari to open files. 👍🏻😎
👍🏻 legend bro
👍👍👍👍👍👍
please play a example before or after…. just to get a feel how it sounds like….thank you!
I do play a few examples of how the picking can be used once the method has been established. 👍🏻
Rob. Where have you done Tangerine puppet? Please, please I need this tutorial.
Rob, I find my fingers just get so confused trying to place them with the left hand and picking with the right (even after slowing it all down and repeating and repeating) while my fretting fingers always seem to have one or two which will, no doubt, touch an adjacent string and screw things up by deadening it. After so many tries -even over days - I just give up. How can I overcome this impreciseness?
Do you teach dust in the wind? I didn’t see it in your videos.
Rob - where do I find the print out of the Tabs for these songs. By the way, GREAT Lesson!
ahhh . never mind. saw them on link above.
Hey Rob, I am one that uses one finger and my thumb. You referenced another video that you have done. Which video is it? Thanks for your tutorials.
Hi Doug; it’s called Blues Picking - What’s The Trick.
Got an instrumental in my arsenal 😂😂 got some anusol for that 😂
I'm doing OK,the dogs not looking 😅
Hi Rob,Dan here I was looking at your capo,what make is it or does it really make any difference.Thanks
Any capo will do, just make sure it’s wide enough if you’re using on a 12 string or classical. 👍🏻
Wow you don't suck at finger picking at all
Can't seem to access the sites for the chord sheets..
Open with Safari. 👍🏻
