love your lessons....best teacher ever.......🤩🤩🤩
Thank you Mario - greatly appreciated! Shane
Wanted to let you know you are the best teacher on RUclips in my opinion. I've been playing for 3 years now first two songs I learned from you were horse With No Name and Dust in the Wind. You're an awesome teacher thanks!!
A very big thank you Rick - what a great comment to receive. Really makes My day here. My very best to you and thanks for being here. Cheers, Shane
Thanks a million for sharing the passion ❤
Love his lessons and his passion.
Hello my friend,
Thank you for another excellent tutorial. I’m picking this up quickly now. Your guitar pick position was a huge improvement in my control and ability to pick the string before strumming. After just a couple play throughs I pretty much have this song , a classic George Harrison song I’ve always loved ❤. Thank you SO MUCH!!!
Perfect. This is at least my 5th time around these parts. Gonna nail it. Thanks fella
That’s fabulous Paul - keep at it! Shane
I had to write you just to tell you first thank you for the lesson but most of just to tell you what a gentle way you have about you. I wish there were more people like you were you can see the light they give off to others. Thank you the lesson helped my day but the way you have about you made my day.
Thank you Thomas - a lovely message to receive. My very best to you! Shane
So true
Man is ape
You made it look so easy. I will try it, and see how I go. Thanks
Have fun with it Edwin - Cheers! Shane
Love how you say puting in the effort to learning the chord changes isn't just learning them for this song but a million others. So true. Great lesson. Thank you.
Thanks Mark - I appreciate the feedback. Best to you, Shane
I'm a beginning guitar player,still learning cords. I've probably brushed through hundreds of online teachers. You are by far , hands down the most instructive , patient, and technical teacher without becoming to confusing for beginners. I can't thank you monetarily yet. But you certainly deserve it. Thanks for all your help!!!
Thank you Steve - glad you enjoyed and happy to have you here with us! Shane
Thanks Shane!!! Great lesson and a great help 😊
Thank you Paul - very glad you enjoyed! Shane
Just love your easy relaxed way of teaching. You really make it clear and understandable. Thanks and God Bless you.
Thank you Randy - much appreciated. Best to you, Shane
Love the way you play, and the simplicity of your lessons! Thank you ❤
Thank you - very glad you’re enjoying. My best to you! Shane
I learned so much in just one video with you. It's amazing! A lot of information, tricks ... You'r a very generous teacher. Thank you!
Thank you Jean-Yves - so glad you enjoyed. My best to you, Shane
AWESOME!!! GREAT MR. INSTRUCTOR, I AM DEFINATLEY GONNA LEARN THIS SONG... THANKS!
On this video, this is the best angle to show on your lessons to actually see the fingerings of the chords.I can actually learn more from this view... Thank you for your excellent guitar lessons. ..
Hey thank you Ed - it can be difficult to do it all on my own. Good input. Cheers! Shane
Shane I’ve looked but haven’t found any eagles songs or maybe I’m blind. By the way, your teaching is awesome.
@@cmcorton Hey thanks for that. I’ve done several Eagles songs - keep on looking and you’ll find them. Have fun with it! Shane
There are so many great guitar teachers on RUclips. I truly think you are the most thorough without making the lesson too complicated. Plus, you have the best Taylor! Thank you for the lessons.
Thank you Davey - I really appreciate that. My best to you! Shane
💡also👍🙏
Thanks again for another great lesson! It keeps me motivated to keep learning new songs. I also appreciate the solo lesson. I’ve been playing for over 50 years, so always love new material.
Thanks for this one Shane.
Glad you enjoyed, Shane
I’m impressed. The lesson, song choice, tech tools and your teaching approach, has me convinced that I could actually make this happen. Thank you
Thanks Kevin - have fun with it. Cheers, Shane
Great teaching style 👏
Wow, I've had this one on my wish list for a long time. The Clapton solo makes Guitar Weep seem impossible. But the rhythm and vocals sounds fantastic by itself. Great lesson Shane.
Thank you Ray and you make a really great point here....the song absolutely stands alone without the muscularity of the whole band...that is an important element to great songwriting. Cheers, Shane
Another fantastic lesson Shane! That song & "Here Comes The Sun" are two of the greatest Beatles songs IMHO! Both written by George of course! Happy New Year & am looking forward to what you have in store for us in 2023! Be well.... 👍👍🎸🎸
Thank you Steve - Happy New Year to you - always appreciate your comments. Cheers, Shane
Thank you so much Shane👌
Glad you enjoyed Deborah - my best to you! Shane
Thanks Shane, love George Harrison. You have made this so learnable as you did with My Sweet Lord, love it. Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you Ted - that’s great to hear. Hope you have fun with it. Cheers, Shane
I have been doing a lot of fingerstyle with LicknRiff, Assaf, but this is a great one to practice chord progressions.
"Don't throw your back out" LOL that cracked me up! Nice lesson Shane, thanks for the lesson and the laugh!
Ha! Thanks for that - glad you enjoyed. Shane
Hi Shane. I can tell you are an awesome person and teacher. When I first started learning guitar, I wish I kept a journal of every song I learned and not let it fade away.
Great video really enjoyed the jam part too
Thanks Stephen - glad you enjoyed. My best to you! Shane
Another great song. I almost got "Heart Of The Matter Down"., Excellent teaching. Especially helpful to me is the rhythm feel/pattern.
Glad to hear it Daniel - keep at it. Good to have a couple of projects on the go at one time I find...somehow working on something else can help the project you've been focusing on. I love that. Best to you, Shane
Shane !!! Happy new year & GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY !!! I agree with comment #13 , you are Heaven sent !! Your such a nice person & you make me & my wife so happy . Because that's the way you come across . You're the best teacher I've ever seen or known ! I was able to play Harvest Moon , least I thought I knew .Thanks to you I now play it right !! I can't thank you enough . This one I'll learn also . THANKS KEN.
A big thank you Ken and your lovely wife - so encouraging to read a comment like yours. I appreciate you being here and am very happy indeed that you enjoy. My best to you in 2023! Shane
What a superb teacher you are Shane, very easy to follow and understand. I love your videos and always recommend you to all my guitar loving friends. Thank you 🙏
A big thank you Mike - what a great comment to receive here on a Sunday night. I really appreciate it - have fun with it and my best to you, Shane
Hey Shane, I've been on and off with guitar for longer than I care to admit. I've been dedicated though, since retiring. You just taught me 3 songs in two evenings! Your positive, frenetic energy, is infectious!! Wish I could cuff you to a twelve string,and pick your brain! Thanks so much!
Ha! That’s fabulous Thomas - thank you! Shane
Great lesson on one of my favourite songs. Thanks for another awesome lesson, as always
Thank you Bud - I appreciate you being here. My best to you. Shane
This is a solid teaching lesson. I already knew the song but after watching this I feel like I might be able to play it better
Fabulous. Thanks Ross! Shane
What a great lesson on a classic song. Great instruction . Thx keep up the great work
You have inspired me to learn the lead for this great tune
Very happy to hear that Paul - hope you enjoy it all the way. Cheers, Shane
Love they way you teach!
Hi Shane, Max here from Queensland Australia. I only just stumbled across your channel , but I have to say that I like the way you teach songs. Thanks😊
Beautiful song, like you said, great campfire song.
Can’t wait to dig in but not for a few months. Long story short, carpal tunnel issues still acting up so I’m taking a bit of a break while I’m down south for the winter but hope to get back at it come April. But love watching the videos so please keep ‘em coming.
Take care and thanks again Shane.
Thanks Wally - very sorry to hear of hand troubles. That’s awful - my worst fear. Stay warm and thanks for always being with us here. Cheers, Shane
One of the best tutorials that I have seen for this song. You explain everything so much clearer, especially how to use the Blues scale for improvising over this song. It was like a light bulb moment for me. Thanks.
Thank you Lee - that’s great news. Happy to have you here with us. Cheers! Shane
You are easy to follow and that goes a very long way when teaching songs and techniques!
Thanks for that - my best to you. Shane
Always enjoy your teaching.
Thank you Dean - glad to have you here with us. Cheers, Shane
best attitude best teacher . . . love your style!
Thank you Blake. My very best to you, Shane
Congratulations for this excellent tutorial. Now Ingot it complete. Very nice . 👏👏👏👏👍
Great song. And love your enthusiasm . Cheers , you make it seem that even I can play that solo...
Thanks John - very glad it’s working for you. Have fun with it. Shane
Literally taught me barre chords in one video. That's how you tell the difference between a teacher & a great teacher. & as usual, despite there being thousands of videos on RUclips, it sounds exactly like the original recording. Also check out his lesson on "Blue on Black", you won't be sorry.
Thanks Gavin - so glad it’s working for you. My best to you! Shane
Shane, I’ve watched most all of your videos but this is the one that finally convinced me to buy the Aeros looper. Just ordered today with the discount- better deal than a used one at all the other online sites. Can’t wait to try it with this one. Keep up the amazing work.
That’s super Mike! Congrats - glad you dug in. Amazing device. Shane
Thank you so much. Your videos are incredibly helpful. The guidance is throughout the song is great. You explain each section detailing the chord progressions and rhythm allowing me to practice at each section. I feel I can make progress with your help.
That’s super - very glad to have you here with us. Thanks! Shane
Excellent instruction!!! Thank you!! Definitely gonna learn this one. Thanks again!
Thank you Sherwood - hope you have fun with this one - such a great song. Cheers, Shane
You have made me a more confident player. Thank you
Thanks Jerry - glad to hear that. Cheers! Shane
🇨🇦Great Song choice for a lesson Shane! Love you video lesson format. The play along if very helpful.🇨🇦
Thanks Glen - always glad to hear from you. Hope you enjoy! Shane
Great lesson, Shane!
Thank you! Your explications bring me forward, specially the improvisations!! By the way: Happy new Year 2023! Greetings from Germany
Thanks for that - glad to have you here! Shane
Aloha Shane! Great lesson, one of my favorites! I have been playing for a few years now and my wife had gotten me a Beat Buddy last year for Christmas. Love it but it certainly makes me realize just how out of rhythm I actually am. Can't tell you how much I (and I am sure many others) appreciate your instruction and letting us know the different setting on the Beat Buddy.
I have actually had to start back at the basics again to play along with the Beat Buddy in an attempt to get my timing down, I still need work with that. :)
I have not gotten the looper as of yet, but it is on my list for this year. :) Mahalo for all of your wonderful lessons!
Fabulous - thank you Chris - I hope you inspire others to follow suit. The BeatBuddy makes a huge difference. Cheers! Shane
Love the ROKR models in the background; I have a whole bunch of those (ROKR, UGears, etc)
Ha! So great - thank you. I love building them. Shane
Great lesson got this one down Quick and going to add it to band list just to let others solo over it while The drummer and I groove
Absolutley fantastic really good tutor like the intro of A pentatomic scale for solo did not know about that keep it up Shane thanks.
Thanks John - it’s fun for sure. Cheers, Shane
I learned Everlong SO well from you! Possible to do a Say it ain’t so tutorial????
What a great way to start the new year. Thanks Shane 🎉
Thank you Wayne - always appreciate you being here with us - best 2023 to you! Shane
Shane ,
Great song choice, your usual great breakdown giving us a way to approach the song. Then you throw in some challenges with blues scale and how to add some improvisation getting value out of pedal and looper. Fantastic !
Rick
Thank you Rick - always happy to hear from you - hope the winter is short and you can get back on the golf course! Shane
A great song to start of 2023…..more great ones to come Shane…Happy New Year🎉
Thank you Johnny - always glad to hear from you lad - have fun with it and talk soon! Shane

Hi Shane ! Another great lesson..just a great choice. Also, as I look over your right shoulder I see that you’ve finally won a Grammy for best teacher, 😉…it’s about time. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist. )Thanks again.
Ha! Thank you David - glad you enjoyed. Always fun to do this. The gramophone in the background is a model made of wood that I built. It actually works! No affiliation but I highly recommend ROKR models. Shane
Heck yeah man thanks that's great awesome tutorial followed
Thank you James - glad you enjoyed! Shane
Thanks George ❤👍
Gotta have this under ones belt👍
Lead has so much feeling as well😉
Shane, you can tell that this one of my faves and you present it very well😎👍

Thank you Robin - I appreciate comment - slow and regular practice will do wonders for flexibility. Cheers, Shane
Happy New Year Shane, you just keep rolling along with some help from the good Lord above. I thank you, Sir.

Thanks my man happy new year I’m tackling a fingerstyle version of this at the minute but this still helps thank you take care from Ireland 🇮🇪 Brian
Thanks Brian - Happy New Year to you and yours. Have fun with it and thanks for being here. Cheers, Shane
Great Video! I'm a first time viewer of your channel and I'll be back (yes, I subscribed). I started learning/playing in November of 2020 (nothing else to do, right?) and have been taking lessons at a local store. I'm happy with my instructor, but it's always good to get other view-points.
Thanks for that - glad you enjoyed and I will look forward to more feedback from you. Cheers,
Shane
Incredidible teacher!
Thank you Daniel - my best to you! Shane
Good lesson, I wouldn't change a thing. If you make it to the end of this with success, congratulations, you are an intermediate guitar player.
Shane is the best!
Thank you Sydney - I always have fun making these videos and it’s so great to hear you are enjoying. Best to you, Shane
Great teacher!!! Thank you sir
Thank you for another great lesson.
19:23 another brilliant lesson, nice one Shane
Thank you Billie - glad you enjoyed. Have fun with it, Shane
Grazie Maestro io la facevo più semplice ma dopo un po' risultava piatta e banale e non mi divertivo più a suonarla come mi ha insegnato lei è molto meglio 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻dimenticavo felice anno nuovo Maestro anche se in ritardo.
Thanks for that Barbara - happy you enjoy. My best to you and keep at it! Shane
Shane, A little advanced for me at this point but not too far away. Having said that, I just have fun listening to your videos. I think I'd listen even if I didn't play guitar. Also want to give you compliment on your vocals. I'm jealous.
Thank you so much Scott - that is hugely encouraging. I’m very happy you enjoy and glad you are here with us! Shane
Excellent as usual Shane… Thank you!
Thank you Doug - have fun with it! Shane
@@GuitarAtWork Shane, I recently heard some great advice from the great teacher and guitarist himself Steve Stine, he said one of the best ways you can practice guitar is to do it old-school style by playing songs because you get so many different practice techniques by playing a song, plus that’s why you play guitar to begin with is to have fun and play songs. You are an outstanding teacher when it comes to teaching songs, because you break it down and make it understandable! THANK YOU!
@@dougsmith8430 great advice Doug - thanks for that - I appreciate the encouragement and very glad you enjoy. Cheers, Shane
Thanks! Greetings from the Netherlands
Excelente video!
✌😎👍
At the end of the major section ending in E, do an ascending base E, F#, G#, A.
Great idea Philip - thanks for sharing. Cheers, Shane
I'm really finding that hearing you play (on acoustic) these originally electric guitar parts clarifies a lot for me. As you opened up the video I was suddenly struck with the idea that Zeppelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" has quite a similar descending bass pattern. Great lesson!
Thank you Phil - I’m a big fan of the acoustic. So clean. Best to you, Shane
I've been looking at tabs and chords for this song for hours and hours and making no progress at all, I tried googling a video instead and this is what came up. After watching along and spending about an hour in this video here I can now play this whole song just from this, and I learned how to do a couple new chords. I was really tempted to buy the patreon thing for the sheet because I'd bet that would be way helpful too, but this video alone was enough to teach the whole song just from watching through/rewinding a few times to get all the chords down. Thanks!
great stuff . Fantastic song.
Thanks John - hope you have fun with it, Shane
Please, could you do a lesson on Carole King‘s 'Tapestry ' ? I love this song so much …tx
Great video...
Thank you - hope you have fun with it! Shane
It now occurs to me that George Harrison wrote the most beautiful Beatles songs.
Great adlib lesson
Thanks Willie - glad you enjoyed. Shane
Fantastic tuition, with your usual positive energy - Thanks for sharing with us. May I ask; which model of Taylor guitar are you using in this?
Thank you Chris - glad you enjoyed. I’m using a Taylor 814CE (2019). Cheers, Shane
Another great one! Time for me to start learning scales.
Thank you Mike - hope you dig in, cheers! Shane
Thank you so much for all the cool songs you teach. You make it so easy to understand.,
I’d like to make two requests… can you do a lesson on Led Zeppelin’s Tangerine and also The Beatles Two of Us? Thanks again 🙏
Thank you Ben - very glad you’ve enjoyed. Happy to have you here with us. Great suggestions. Cheers! Shane
THANK YOU!!!!
-----
I CAN already play this tune, but (THANK YOU) for the explanation of the meaning of the slash being placed in the Chords.
-----
Just to be clear that I have understood this, correctly
Is the note 🎵 after the slash always a bass note 🎵????
Exactly right - glad it helped you. Cheers! Shane
@@GuitarAtWork
Thank you...
I just subscribed a few minutes ago.
Oscar
Great
Thank you Willie - best to you - Shane
Hey Shane could you consider Won’t Get Fooled Again by The Who? Pete plays acoustic on lots of concerts on that song!!
Top Man
Thanks for that. Glad you enjoyed! Shane
Great song choice! Thank you for the very nice lesson. Are these the same chords in Babe I'm going to leave you? Would love a lesson from you on that.
