- Here's a fabulous song that everyone should know - join me to learn an EZ version as we put the chord shapes and right hand picking patterns together. As always, we do a slow playalong and then it's full speed ahead for a full length concert speed playalong. Fun! Stay tuned at the end of the video for some lead bits too!

Fantastic stuff
I purely appreciate this alternative so well presented. And I like your guitar. It's a thing of beauty, a fitting piece for a guitar teacher instead of the dime a dozen strat blech I'm seeing always.
Hey - thanks for that. It is a gorgeous guitar. Glad you enjoyed and I’m happy to have you here with us. Cheers,
Shane
I like this arrangement with easier chords. Sounds great for a campfire version.
Thank you Ray - glad you're in agreement. Hope you have fun with it, Shane
I use to play it the original way, but by the time you get to the end of the song, well man-o-man, a bit of a workout for sure.... thx for sharing as I'm going to revisit this tune but play it this way as we are possibly adding to a live setlist and I need to save my hands for our other 39 songs lol.
You are half an inch from banging that nice guitar on the shelf behind you.
You’re right - I’ll move over a bit next time. Cheers, Shane
Thanks !...have another cup of coffee..😊
Yes! Caffeine driven indeed. Cheers, Shane

Thank you Steve - always appreciated. All is well here and hope same for you and yours. Cheers! Shane
Another fun lesson, going to be a real test of my picking accuracy but that’s a good thing.
Also looking forward to trying the scale work. Just means a bunch of practice before my loops sound any good. Said it before, the looper really lets you hear how good your doing. It really allows you to hold a mirror up to your playing.
Hey, hope your having a good summer and are able to find a cool shady place to enjoy it.
Thanks again Shane.
Thank you Wally - as usual, I agree with every point you make. The looper is a great practice tool indeed. All the best with it and enjoy a piping hot August, Shane
Great lesson, but could not take my eyes off that 339... what a beauty!!!
Thank you! Lovely guitar. Cheers, Shane
That is really neat!
Thanks Mike! Shane
Absolutely amazing. Please keep up the good work. What a beautiful tone you have in that guitar. Can you please make some videos about electric guitar tones, if possible. TIA
Hey, I just found your channel (and subscribed), talk about right down my alley! I have played for years but still consider myself the "Friday (or Saturday) night get together with a friend or two and pretend we can play" level player. Many of the songs you have here are exactly what I love to play.
Anyway, I may have missed it but, do you or can you make one on Blind Faiths "Can't Find My Way Home"? I kind of play it something of a drop D version and would really be interested in your intermediate level interpretation of the song if possible. Thanks man! I've already picked up one or two songs from your videos and really appreciate your work and your teaching/playing style.
Thank you Roger - glad to have you here with us and great song suggestion. Cheers! Shane
Cool looking sunburst on the guitar 😉😎👍
Love it..YOGA finger positions🤣
Fun song😁
How about Dylan's " Lay Lady Lay"...?
Thanks Shane😎👍❤🖖
Thanks Richard. I really like this guitar. Got it from a friend. Mint condition 2008 ES339. Gorgeous.
Great song suggestion. Thanks for that. Cheers, Shane
Just used my GAW10 promo code, for a beat buddy and footswitch...keep up the good work Shane...cheers mate..
That's super! You'll have a ton of fun with those items. The Beatbuddy really helps tidy up your rhythm/timing for sure. Cheers, Shane
Very happy to be a new patreon member. I appreciate you mixing electric guitar with acoustic lessons. Would you mind taking a moment to let us know your settings on your electric amp and guitar. Would like to find that great tone!
Thanks Mike - very glad to have you with us. Glad you are enjoying. I’m running my electric guitar through an fx processor (AX8) with just a bit of reverb and compression. EQ is basically flat.
Cheers! Shane
A great song Shane. How’s you summer going?
Thank you Johnny - always good to hear from you and K - all is well here....great summer thus far. Lots of biking. Hope you're well as can be! Shane
Still waiting on Mans too strong shane! Keep rockin'!
Shane do you ever stop to breathe? you're so full on 😊❤️
Nice to see the Gibson.I try to play all your songs on a/an Epiphone dot cherry.
Thanks! I'm really liking this ES339. I bought it from a friend recently. Lovely. Cheers, Shane
Hi Shane -can you go over those chords again "oh cant you see ----you belong to me " --Cadd 9 and a weird E chord ?--thankyou --appreciate!
Great lesson and play along Shane. Does lead guitar improvisation scale start on the same frets if a capo is used on the 1st fret to keep in same key as original song?
Great point Mark - thanks. The scale would begin one fret higher than notated if playing with the original recording. Cheers, Shane
Wonderful. Could you share what specific guitar y were playing ?? Thanks
Thank you - glad you enjoyed. I’m using a Gibson ES339 (2008) in this video. I really like it. My best to you, Shane
the CHORUS section---after the C add 9 chord --cant see your fingers--its a E Something chord (obscured )!
Yoga chords? You gotta do stretches before you play this song. I only ever wanted to play this song at the end of the set because my pinkie finger would ache afterwards. I initially asked the band if we could lower the song by one itty bitty little step so it would be easier and our prima donna singer wouldn't have it. This was years ago and although we're still basically friends I hate that guy.
Shane.......To much coffee today dude?
Ha! Believe it or not I've cut my caffeine in half lately.....Waha! Cheers, Shane
Too fast for me… he’s a fast talker
Sorry Tony....it's the caffeine man....Shane
Good lesson but GOD you talk fast...my head was spinning
Go to 75% speed play back… it’s perfect!
