    It didn't even take me 30 seconds to like it. Some people have this endearing vibe about them & with the family's involvement - truly, a Simple Man. Loved the lesson!

    This is the first song I ever worked on, and to this day I work on it nearly every time I pick up my guitar. There’s so much variation in how you can play it, it’s always fun and interesting. Can be quite a challenge depending on what you wanna do with it.

    Can't put my finger on it exactly, but it doesn't matter what it is, "it" makes you a great teacher. I suppose it starts with talent, but it takes more than that. I guess it's a combination of things, but it shows easily.

    Brilliant way of teaching a relatively complex picking pattern that requires hand and eye coordination. I would offer the best tutorial for beginners and intermediate players on RUclips for this song. I am the the latter, and learned the song in 20 minutes following your clear easy to understand explanations. Just became a subscriber. 👍👍

  • @blueser100
    @blueser100 Год назад +2

    Wonderful lesson Kevin. I’m not that familiar with their songs but the intermediate picking pattern looks like a fun challenge, or even a warm up exercise. Thanks!

      Thanks Diana! Very versatile. And it can definitely be a challenge.

    Put your capo on the first fret, then tune it standard. Take the capo off your tuned in.

    loved this lesson Kevin! I really like the relaxed version you played - sounds real nice. Question: what picks does Maggie like the best? I'd go with the medium myself lol! Thanks for another great lesson - you made this song sound so flowing and it is actually relaxing .. nice job

    • @Relaxandlearnguitar

    do you have a lesson on the strumming and chords of the chorus?

    • @Relaxandlearnguitar
      @Relaxandlearnguitar  8 часов назад

      You can use the beginner pattern for the chorus like at 3:00

    😂stressing me out too. But how do you tune down? Do you have to re-tune guitar strings to diff notes? Mmm probably but how do you know what to change them too, guess by ear maybe or is there a quick fix 😅 tkx u all xx

    • @Relaxandlearnguitar
      @Relaxandlearnguitar  Год назад

      Lol. You will need to use a tuner and tune all the strings down 1/2 step. So Eb Ab Db and so on.

  • @veraoates9018
    @veraoates9018 Год назад +3

    I’m no expert but at around 3:50 after explaining the strum missing beat two you’re playing DDDDU or that’s what it looks n sounds like .. sorry to be pedantic as it sounds good anyway

    • @Relaxandlearnguitar
      @Relaxandlearnguitar  Год назад

      Nice catch :)

    • @veraoates9018

    • @tepoynter
      @tepoynter Год назад

      I love this lesson Kevin but I was having the same problem. I just could not hear that missing second strum ; so I finally went to the comments to see if anybody had the same issue. Glad to find the answer. And it sounds great with DDDU.

  • @wpvids
    @wpvids 2 месяца назад +1

    At the seven minute mark: I don't think the count is right in the third bar, the first Am. There's 5 downs and I'm trying to figure out what needs to be adjusted to make it work.

    • @Relaxandlearnguitar
      @Relaxandlearnguitar  2 месяца назад

      Should probably be 4

    • @wpvids
      @wpvids 2 месяца назад

      @@Relaxandlearnguitar I agree :) In the tab diagram maybe remove the last Up strum in the third bar so it's (U on open A, UDUD, U on open E, D on G, U on open E) ? I like the lesson, you're a good teacher and the song is just the right increase in difficulty for me now. I've subscribed.

    I don't understand it some days I can barely get anything to come out the guitar and then some days I sit down and play the song flawlessly within a couple hours

    • @Relaxandlearnguitar
      @Relaxandlearnguitar  6 месяцев назад

      That happens. It’s important to play a little a day because it all stacks up and then it clicks and it’s great!

    It's a great song to learn and if you listen to the Scorpions "Always Somewhere ",you'll find them almost identical. I start playing one and end up playing the other. 😊
