  • Here's another absolute essential - join me to learn the fingerpicking, chords, and strumming for this timeless classic by one of the greatest duos of all time. We'll break it right down before doing a slow playalong -and then it's full speed ahead for a full length playalong. Fun!
    I'll be using the 'Blues 1' pattern on the fabulous Beatbuddy for those of you that have them.

    Beautiful breakdown of the song techniques. So easy to find what you need to work on and to concentrate on those, then add them all together for the entire song. As always, you make it so accessible to all talent levels. Thanks, Shane!

    You’re right, this is a must and I can’t believe how simple it is. The singing is the toughest part.

    • @GuitarAtWork
      @GuitarAtWork  21 день назад +2

      Agreed - It requires quite a vocal range - I have to drop down an octave for the really high parts. But.....you can also bring the capo down a couple/few frets to accommodate your voice. I did it in the original key Capo 6 for the purposes of this video - same as original recording. But....if playing/singing it I'd need to drop the capo down to 3. Cheers, Shane

    Shane, I have been following you for some time and this is the first time I have ever commented on RUclips videos. I think this is the best video lesson, though pretty much everything else is also excellent. I love the music and melody in this song. I can play the song in a rudimentary way (someone listening to me knew what I was playing so that was a bit of a boost for me), but repetition will improve it. I purchased the Beat Buddy and Aeros Looper over a year ago and need to start using them.

      Hey thank you Peter - it really helps me to read a comment like yours.....positive feedback helps keep me on the path. Very glad you enjoyed and I appreciate you being here with us for so long - The Beatbuddy and the Aeros are a super combination. If you're worried about getting started with them just start with the Beatbuddy and add the Aeros as you start to feel comfortable enough. My best to you lad, Shane

    Thank You For All You Do! Suggestion: Beat Buddy sounds like a great a tool and you seem to be a genuine supporter. There are no good videos out there that walk you a possible customer/buyer/user how you Initial Set Beat Buddy Up and begin using Beat Buddy. How to Get Started. Set-up and Go! For Example Initial Set Up (First Time) to Play Country Roads. Nothing! No Video on Setup. Maybe some stuff on how to use. But all a little confusing for someone who is going to drop $500 on Beat Buddy. You are a teacher and have a good way with all levels of guitar. You could be that guy to go where no man has yet to go and provide a valuable service to us all. Of course Beat Buddy should provide lavish compensation for the assistance . . . 25% discount with GAW Code which mostly goes back to you. Win-Win!
