More please. Great bare bones. This is an atypical way to teach a song and it works so well. You get somebody the basic idea and it unlocks the mystery of it. It allowed me to understand the core concept immediately and then I figured out the full guitar part quickly because you unlocked the key to the song. Thank you
I'm at 4 minutes 43 seconds of this tutorial and you are awesome. This is EXACTLY what I wanted. Just discovered Shakey a few months ago. Love ya bro! Keep up the great work! And the instruction was bang on.
awesome job! i did notice that in the video of Shakey playing this song in a drainage ditch there was another note that was left out in your tutorial. thank you though been tryin to learn this for months now. this was a big help!
Is there any chance you could post the link to the video you learnt this from? Cause there are so many different versions flying around! Sounds spot on though
I am really struggling with the first part...! Second part is fine... Maybe this song is a bit over my skill level, but I would love to learn how to play the melody and alternating with the thumb at the same time. My problem: whenever I start playing the melody and trying to combine alternating with the thumb I totally lose the melody. Any tips? Videos on that? Cheers
What helped me for the first part was using my thumb and pointer finger to hit the steady D notes bassline and then using my middle finger to play the melody part. Might sound convoluted but it helped me a lot. Of course, over a year later from trying to learn this song and I STILL Can't quite get the chorus/walk down part right...
www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/shakey-graves-late-july-live-tab-s396097t0 - The tutorial is just some of the main sections - this tab looks like the most accurate so maybe use tutorial as a base and then use this tab to fine tune? :) hope that helps anyone! I know I'm going to use that to learn it... lots of detail!
Well first I agree with the tuning comment, make sure we are all on the same. There are parts where you don't really explain where your fingers are going. And then it would be very helpful if you talked through the fingerpicking pattern for each position. Thanks
use ur brain and your ambition to learn it maybe by looking up the chords he is giving by the base of the open tuning... you wanna have your mastered guitar handed to you on a golden plate? sry maybe im going too far but he he is making the job done
dan freeman Travis picking is a guitar technique named after Merle Travis... It incorporates alternating bass notes played with the thumb, and melody played at the same time with your other fingers. Kristian Matsson of the Tallest Man on Earth uses this technique in nearly every one of his songs.

Could you do this again but more detailed whenever you have free time?
Can you please do his acoustic version of perfect parts!!
Chyea!
It would help me a lot if you (or anyone) told me how the finger picking pattern is just so I have an idea
+Christopher Delarosa It's pretty much just a travis picking pattern
+Hewbz Oh badass, thank you kindly
could you please do a video explaining the picking pattern
Standard travis picking pattern
Have you/would you consider putting together a video like this for If Not for You?
Yeah man. I'm wanting to make some more videos soon. Always taking recommendations.

Practice them separately at first. Really get the melody part under your belt, and play along with the song.

Lesson on Proper Fence please

Could you do bully's lament
Pr0x1mo I can try!
please post a tab
okay well cool, i suck
hahaha nah you're great! I've been playing for a long time and it took me forever to learn this song.
You need to tune up
Why don't you just tune to the appropriate tuning for the video
My guitar is shit. The intonation is bad and it doesn't play in tune in the open position. So I tune down a half step and play with a capo.
Need to work on your instruction skills.
Thanks for the feedback, Beau. I'd like to make some similar videos in the near future. What specifically do you think I should work on?

@@gerritjakobi Right? Pretty strong sense of entitlement for a free lesson on RUclips. You'll get more out of it by figuring it out yourself.
why don't you explain the picking? some of the tutorial is good but some of it is terrible. you say nothing about how you use your right hand.
dan freeman it's classic Travis picking for the most part.
Rod Waynick what is travis picking?
