Thank you for your kind comment. Glad to hear that my lesson was helpful to you. Yes, this song has consistently been my most watched lesson since I made it 3yrs ago. It's one that surprises me too. Ivor
Woh....I've seen other fingering patterns on this song but never found the single notes and walk down you hear in the song.... this is the only video that have shown all of it....Thank for this !! Doesn't matter finger picking or chords, the notes can apply to both !!
I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been cryin' forever And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart? If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears The star in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart If I stay here just a little bit longer…
Great lesson Ivor. Been playing Rod's Maggie May for years but can't get the intro to sound right, would be interested to hear your take on it. Cheers,
Ivor so far learning from your lesson on The Killing of Georgie (the intro) has been the most rewarding less so far. Now I look forward to learning this intro.
hi Ivor, I've been looking for this a long time ago, especially the intro part. Glad that I came across your video. Amazingly easy to follow, thanks a lot. Keep it up.
Fantastic lesson, Ivor, all the information I needed clearly delivered. A student can pick their own level and play from it, you got me where I wanted to go, thanks man and Season's Greetings, be well (subscribed).
Hi Mario Computers. You should play the 1st string (top 'e') at the 3rd fret from the capo. I did make an update for this intro here: ruclips.net/video/WY5sgGICUxs/видео.html Ivor
This one is so nice. At one point I got the hang of it freestyle finger picking, following you with the chords; it was like if I was jamming with you. Got a bit stuck with complicated finger patterns and chords. Since I followed a few of your lessons, it feels I pick things up easier and quickly. I want to thank you for these and appreciate a lot for the time and effort you put into this. Hope it is not inappropriate to ask here, but could you please think about a lesson of the song "Russians" by Sting.
Dear Mr Ivor Sore Finger, I want to share something with you an your fans and subscribers. This is a story of Love. Through lockdown, I picked up my Guitar in the corner of the room and found your channel. I was bored after watching too much T.V. So I thought, why not learn the guitar all over again, I needed someone to show me with simplicity and someone that could take their time and teach me. I found you… I’ve been plucking and a plinking, strumming and a humming and I’m getting not too bad. I’m 61, I’ve been on my own for a few years, so my son decided to put me on a dating site (Brave lad, I coulda killed him! Lol) I had just one like and a lady from Reading started talking to me, we met this Sunday and I thought I have no chance! She had an air of grace and we sat and chatted and giggled and the night went so quick. We had a hug and we started texting again. I WhatsApp’d her a song that you taught me, it was a favourite of mine by Rod Stewart, “I don’t wanna talk about it” using your techniques, I sang this to her on video, I have a reasonable voice too. It came out alright to be fair. Tonight I got a text saying I’m the most Gorgeous man in the world, after all the sadness of losing friends to Covid and staying in, I have found something that I never thought was possible at my age.. A beautiful woman to serenade too. I cannot thank you enough, really I can’t, I thought I was going to end up alone and single for the rest of my life, but now I have a future and a spirit that says to anyone reading this, who is in a position thus similar to mine, a woman likes to be serenaded, it brings the romance back that seemed long forgotten during the pandemic… Hey! A lovely BIG thank you to you and to my son who went into hiding and reappeared to a BIG hug from his Dad. I hope you enjoyed this true story… I won’t ask you to play “ My heart goes Boom Biddy Boom Boom” with Peter Sellars 😂😂 Goodness Gracious Me! Lol Only us oldies know that one, but that is how my heart feels everytime I see her. Keep up the great work! Ian
Hi Ian. Thank you for sharing your fantastic true story of love. It's makes me very happy to have played a small part in your return to happiness and love again. What is your next serenade going to be? Ivor
@@ivorsorefingers I played Homeward Bound to her, and melted her heart. I know I’ve achieved my goal, but intend to pick out more songs, I’m loving this Ivor. I really am. We’re meeting tomorrow for the second time and we can’t stop talking about each other. At 61 years old, like I said.. I thought the world we live in is such a lonely place to be, despite millions of people. My world has turned to Harmony, but she did tell me that if Rod Stewart ever proposed to me, she would dump me! Lol 😂 True! Gosh, if that’s the only threat I have, I’m a made up man. But, honestly, I can’t thank you enough.. Practise makes perfect. No wonder it’s “Sore Finger”.. you couldn’t be more truer… I’ll update you with songs I’ve chosen. Thank you once again. Ian
Many thanks..my beautiful lady who is a nurse sang this bringing me a grown 67yr old man to tears..so I decided to learn it..with the infils and I found you..I'm very pleased I did..
Thank you, glad you enjoyed my lesson. I'm sorry but I don't remember there being an extra line in the second verse on the recording I based my lesson on. What version are you playing along with? Ivor
@ivorsorefingers the Rod Stuart version ' If I stand all alone Will the shadow hide the color of my heart? Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears The stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you They're a mirror'
@@ivorsorefingers your welcome! 😊 By the way i wanna make a guitar cover soon of a song in my youtube channel thanks to you again 😊 It's really helpfull your guitar lesson promise! 😉
Hi William. My channel 'Ivor Sorefinger' was terminated by RUclips this morning for 3 copyright strikes against 3 Eagles lessons. There was nothing I could do to prevent the termination as UMPG music publishers would not retract their objections. I have started this 'new' channel which I hope to upload all my original lessons to again minus all the Eagles songs of course! A long process. Ivor
@@ivorsorefingers I am really sorry to hear that not only you have lost your channel but also we wont be able to hear the Eagles songs from your voice. Although I am sure you will get back even more followers than before in no time with your videos of such high quality.
Verry good lesson.Now I finally can play a little.

I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been cryin' forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
The star in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer…
