Thanks everyone for the fantastic comments! It's incredibly humbling to know this has been helpful in teaching this song. Best of luck to all of you ✌️
Song Notes Hey man, love your videos and sweet Taylor! Would you be able to do a lesson on the song Bridges Burn by Paul Otten? It's definitely up you're alley if you haven't heard it! Thanks again!!!
Such great video's and song sheets. I would love to see a complete song sheet tabs putting together all Intro licks , strumming etc, together in a tab sheet. As a beginner I've got the pieces and parts but can't transition from one to the other. Great Work!
Thanks, brother, for the lesson. What brand Taylor do you have? I like the spacing of the fret board and its size, not to mention the beautiful sound it puts out
Thank you David! I was a guitar picker in my younger days. An accident left me disabled and arthritis has set in making it difficult to play without pain. Watching your videos and listening to your instruction has renewed my interest in playing. It's not been easy but I persevere. Thank you sincerely. You have given me reason to try again and your lessons are so informative. You have made an old man cast off the chains of doubt and slowly regain the one thing that has ever given me happiness. My guitar.
Hi David, 73 year old beginner here in UK, found you by accident but your so inspiring I love the way you teach. I'm struggling with bent fingers and poor memory but I want to play guitar so I've just got to keep going. Kind regards
Thanks for the lesson David. my brother and I used to play our acoustics" together, he was in the process of teaching me how to play simple Man, but sadly he passed away! in 2011 then that's when I decided to put my guitar in the case, and never brought it back out! Until several months ago! Then Lord behold I came up! on your video! And learned this iconic song!!.. again! thanks for bringing back good memories, my' friend..👍
3:56 I know this an older video but thank you for showing an example of singing with the song. I’m trying to learn the beginning and could never quite grasp when to start singing. Thank you.
Sometimes when im lazy and dont wanna pick out chords and stuff myself,i turn to youtube And your channel is by far the best ive seen. 1 heres the chords 2 heres the pattern 3 Breakdown and explanation Very well done
Dave, wow Dude I really thank you for this vid. I’m a new guitar player, three weeks only now. But honestly I’m 63 and Lynyrd Skynyrd was my favorite band from back in the day. I still listen to them today. Brings back so many great memories. Glad I found your channel here. I will be practicing this a lot now. Please keep the lessons coming. Again, much thanks to you! Peace
Are now one of my 4-5 go to guys on RUclips...Understated, professional, to the point yet sufficiently detailed...A class act, brother. Much appreciated!
I discovered your channel this evening and am over the moon. I took guitar lessons a decade ago, but due to lack of time because of the demands of career, I had to abandon the practice. There are varying levels of quality in online instruction, and for me, yours is absolutely perfect. I love that you display a tab alongside the video of your playing. Usually, these are separate depictions. I also admire that you don’t get too technical with theory, modes, etc. I am very much looking forward to exploring your channel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I just discovered your videos and your site and WOW! You have covered basically everything for those of us who are basically tone deaf beginners. I am getting back into playing after a 20+ year hiatus. I used to play with my dad and I lost him after we had spent the night playing like we always did at least 4 or 5 nights a week for the last couple of years while he terminally ill. We played from 7pm to about 2:30 am and I left him at the kitchen table to go home and get some sleep. A family friend found him about 8:30 that morning. He had passed sometime after I left him. My dad always played 12 stringers and when I asked to learn to play he taught me on one of his other 12 stringers. So I have finally been able to pick up the guitar I learned on out of the case without having a lump in my throat and tearing up. It really tore me up when I lost him So I just started to put some work in trying to get my fingers back into shape. I really suck right now. I mean I am awful!!! It's going to be a battle to get my hands un-connected from each other in my brain and get them to do opposite things at the same time. You pretty much take it for granted when you are playing every day or two. I cannot believe how bad I really am LOL This is just like starting from the absolute bottom of the food chain. I have clicked the subscribe button because I think you have put together a great site that really spreads the song out allowing people to learn songs that I for example would never be able to figure out on my own so that people would know what I am playing. My dad only played mostly 60's music like Everly Brothers, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Roger Miller etc. So I definitely have my work cut out for me. The only plus in this whole crazy adventure is that I recently have had to retire due to problems with my back that cannot be fixed so I have lots of time on my hands to dedicate to reviving what I used to have with my dad. I still remember most all of the songs we played together so I will slowly put together the "Peacemakers" standard set list from 1967 and play them all. That was my dads band. Del Shannon was my dads drummer and he wrote "Runaway" with Del and they played it way before Del took a leap of faith and hit it big. Thanks for your efforts and I look forward watching more of your lessons. Your site is awesome.
I have tried to learn guitar too many times to count and tonight I happily stumbled upon your lesson and low and behold I got the chords and the simple strumming. I even feel like I can tackle the more complex strumming. I am not sure why and how your lesson got through but it did. I am going to check out the other lessons and just wanted to say thank you. You taught it in a way my brain can comprehend it. Thank you!
Ps. For a little context: This is one of my fav songs and I have tried learning it from others before so I am seemingly challenged and maybe it’s just a moment in time but I could strum the whole song. Who the fack knew.
I feel the same, I'm currently tackling the more complex strumming but I've played the first part for the past 4 months so it feels as if it kinda comes naturally. It's been fun. A couple other songs I found easy for beginner was a simple version of 'house of the rising sun'- the animals & 'hurt'- by Johnny cash.
I'm just learning acoustic guitar, I started playing metal 20+ years ago. Getting into acoustic now and of all the tutors out their you are the best by far man, thank you!
+Jerry McKee thank you Jerry! It means a lot. If you haven't found his channel yet, I recommend Justin Sandercoe. He's been at it for years and is the best on RUclips for my money.
I can play this entire song right along with you David.But one year or so ago I told you that one day I woukd be playing with ya on this and here I am jamming right with ya and Its all because you really taught me how to do It..The hardest part was the picking pattern but I can do It..Thank you David..I want to learn was I right or wrong by Skynyrd now..Thanks David.Youre a great Instructor
Thank you so much for breaking this down. I found it most helpful how you segmented it by strum, riff, pick, each progressively more technical. Most helpful. Thank you.
I am a beginner and this is the first song I learned because of this video. Broke it down very well, easy to understand and fun to play around the campfire. I keep referring back to this video to learn the next way to play it. Thank you!
Very good guide, Teaches all stages of guitar players how to play the song from ; only knowing chords experience to good player learning a new song experience.
Best Guitar Teacher on RUclips....he explains it so you will understand the Lesson fully He is just the Best out There....nothing out there to compare to this Guy...thank you Man Greetings from Rep of Ireland 👍👍🇨🇮🇨🇮
You're one of the best, maybe THE best guitar-teacher of the internet. Great work,: great structure, great explanation, great technique, great feeling, great ballance, great materials ... Before i get to know the question to ask, you have answered it. I don't know, what you can do better. PERFECTION at it's best. Many Thanks!!! I nearly never have commented soooo positive - feels a little bit strange. ;)
Just picked up my guitars after 20+ years & trying to get back to playing. Your vid is far the best I have seen & feel no need to look further. Simple but yet detailed. The tabs are accurate! Thank you, thank you.
I'm Patreon+ since I found you. I've gained so much confidence in my playing and I have YOU to thank for that. I watched two of your lessons and went right to PayPal to support your outstanding efforts of bringing the best teaching on line. I hope others pony up and dig deep to support you as well.
Very nice lesson. Easy to learn and follow, viewer doesn't get lost or frustrated. I've been wanting to play this song in standard tuning for two years. Now I can. Thank you very much, sir.
First , u teached me Hotel california and now this.. You are awesome man. Going to learn all of ur tutorials right now , u are the best online teacher i've ever seen. huge respect mate
Very layed back lessons full of good explanation on how to play Simply. Great Lessons for those that just want to start playing without all the music theory.
I realize that this video is 2 years old, but thank you for taking the time to film and upload this lesson! I haven't picked up a guitar in 14 years, and this was a great song to learn. It was incredibly easy to follow and I picked up the song after practicing it for a couple of hours. Awesome video! Thanks again!
David, this is the best lesson I have ever seen!!! The breakdown of the song and tips and tricks were extremely appreciated! Patience and Passion for this lesson shined through to all of us watching, Rock On!!!!
I am a struggling guitarist at the intermeite level, an have to say I am so totally impressed with your lesson structure and easy to learn. I will be a regular visitor. Thanks again.
I have watched a lot of these guitars-lesson videos, and I’m impressed by your informative, relaxed delivery. I’m subscribed, and plan to check out all your stuff. Thanks.
Thanks so much Randy! I’m glad the lessons are appreciated. Feel free to send along any requests you have, whether it’s a type of music or an artist or a specific song.
I love the clean no BS approach. Just tell us good better best and and let us decide where we like the sound . Great job keep it up I will be contributing to you.
Thanks David! Great Lesson! As a beginner just slow down a play through to help get it! What a great lesson! Just lost a friend in a motorcycle accident that loved this song I’m going to learn it in his honor! Thanks again!
Thank you David for your lesson. I have been trying to learn this song for a while now on both bass and guitar. The guitar is a lot easier than the bass lines. Leon was a mastermind on the bass.
This is such a beautiful song and I've always wanted to hear an acoustic version as I think the electric guitars in the LS version spoil its delicacy - So thank you.
This is such a good lesson, David, thank you. It's got something for players of a variety of skill levels and also enough room for people to come up with their own arrangements. Keep up the good work, man.
Greeat for me used to jam when I was a kid now I'm getting my confidence that you picked it up with simple Man that's a not so simple song for someone just starting out again but I just wanted to say thanks and you're really help me and build my confidence.
David... I just stumbled on your channel and you by far are one of the best teachers I have seen! I subscribed and hope to learn much more from you. Thanks for all you do!
It took me a while to "synchronize" the lead ins with the chords. I came upon your website because another guitar learning channel had the same song but did not go into the detail you did as far as the lead ins and outs. Your a very good teacher. I am subscribed !
I've seen a lot of guitar lessons for this song, but this was by far the best. This is going to be the first song I learn on my guitar. Thanks so much for the help!
This is one of those songs that's not difficult and an easy play on the acoustic guitar. You did a great job in the lesson planning and execution of it - Thanks!
So thankful to have found this channel. I've picked up my guitar after about a year of not taking it seriously, and these lessons are fantastic. Your format is perfect; easy to follow and absorb. I've subbed and can't wait to learn more from you.
I really like how you demonstrate beginner to more advanced player versions. Really makes for great instruction and motivating to pick up a guitar and want to play. Your one of the best instructors on youtube. Period! Thanks for sharing
As a beginner player you are amazing teacher with such details that is to follow. You are my teacher to go on you tube . Love this embellishement notes
Great lesson on a great tune! I really liked the separation of the song based on skill level. It allows the viewer to fit in where he/she is at and build from there. Thanks
You're such a gifted teacher. I most certainly will send a donation when I can. Thank you deeply for your lessons. They're right up there with Justin Guitar.
AAAhhhh Dude your awesome!!!!! Subscribed and Like the video. As a beginner I am always struggling with the strumming motion and remembering the chord order. With your explanation and all your graphics on the same screen made it so much easier for me!!.
I could tell, that when he looks at what he is doing more concentrated @0:50 that I have to start with the beginner version :P Love your videos! Helping me alot
+jam Bri that's great to hear, glad it was helpful! Some songs have so many lessons already out there, it's hard to know if I'm adding any value or not. Thanks again.
Thank you for this video! You've really made it easy for me to understand and I've actually learned something starting from nothing at all. Seriously this is great.
while scrollin' thru all of the usual martys and all... i happened upon you David... picked up a new subscriber on this end 4 sure ! great tutorial , & thanx !!!
Great teacher love the way you make it easy to start then step it up each time in stages seeing the strumming patterns and changes in tab makes it so much easier than trying to figure out what these are by. Makes going back through the song so much easier. Thank you so much keep the songs coming.
Thanks everyone for the fantastic comments! It's incredibly humbling to know this has been helpful in teaching this song. Best of luck to all of you ✌️

This is such a beautiful song and I've always wanted to hear an acoustic version as I think the electric guitars in the LS version spoil its delicacy - So thank you.
This is such a good lesson, David, thank you. It's got something for players of a variety of skill levels and also enough room for people to come up with their own arrangements. Keep up the good work, man.
You're an amazing no nonsense instructor. Thanks for not filling your video with fluff. Clicking subscribe now and thank you!

Great lesson David. The tabs help make your lessons better than others!!!
This is a great lesson! I will be watching this often until I get this song mastered. Thank you!
Great lesson on a great tune! I really liked the separation of the song based on skill level. It allows the viewer to fit in where he/she is at and build from there. Thanks
Thanks! I’m glad that the approach I took is appreciated. I have very fond memories of making this lesson.
Best Tutorial i have ever Seen! Thank you man!
Hey man, I'm two years late and this lesson is still relevant. Thanks, great lesson and I enjoy the way you presented it. Got my sub!
You're such a gifted teacher. I most certainly will send a donation when I can. Thank you deeply for your lessons. They're right up there with Justin Guitar.
I'm gonna learn to play this. I typically just strum because I play alone, but this makes me want to take the next step with my playing.
Thank you so much for your time. You are a great teacher and have helped me progress more than I expected.
You push my boundaries. Much appreciated!
Thanks man , love the way you lay out fret/string tutorial.It makes it way easier for the student or me at the very least.

I could tell, that when he looks at what he is doing more concentrated @0:50 that I have to start with the beginner version :P
Love your videos! Helping me alot

Thank you! This lesson really filled in a lot of holes I had from other lessons. WELL DONE.
+jam Bri that's great to hear, glad it was helpful! Some songs have so many lessons already out there, it's hard to know if I'm adding any value or not. Thanks again.
Thank you for this video! You've really made it easy for me to understand and I've actually learned something starting from nothing at all. Seriously this is great.
