Life goal is to play this song with authority because it's so iconic. Great lesson.
Hi there, a huge thank you for taking time out to teach! A little background I am 68 and disabled from 2003 from a very rare nerve disease (Dr.s claim that it's one the most painful) I was bedridden for3 yrs. prior I had boxed for 8 yrs. and martial arts since I was a kid. I mentioned this because I am not a quitter. Taught myself to walk then it was time for my hands and arms. Pardon my terminology but I was also a rocker, stoner in attitude so I always wanted to learn the guitar, a nice lady gave me a "toy" guitar, that's what I call it. I found your site and what a ride it has been! I now can move all my fingers and arms, I play a little Zeppelin, and quite a few of your songs that you taught, you have been my teacher and friend thank you so very much! Sorry about the length of this note.
Loved reading that Pierre! Ain't it neat how a guitar can motivate and improve one's attitude! Play on brother!
@Guitar At Work :
it's stuff of legend how long Tom Scholz took on his masterpiece but , just as impressive is the amount of time YOU must have taken translating it all into understandable logic for us less gifted mortals .
Thank You
Watched a half dozen of you’re videos so far and you’ve got to be one of the best guitar teachers on RUclips or honestly anywhere..
Thank you so much and sorry I missed your message. Cheers! Shane
Thank you for actually showing the chords BEHIND the solo -all the other RUclipsrs duck out of this and it's not that obvious. Much appreciated,
Thanks Dale - very glad it helped you - happy to have you here! Happy New Year!
Shane
Great presentation as always. Easy to grasp. Keep it the . Thanks!
Thanks Lewis - my best to you! Shane
Picking up were I left off 37yrz ago. Stumbled across your video, I had to subscribe! Just bought a used Ibanez electric, because at 57 starting all over again I don't want to die in a kitchen as a chef! I want to die in some old blues Club you are making learning all over again fun! Fantastic work! I don't care what anybody says I always called power chords!
I've never seen anyone talk so fast, put out such a huge amount of detail...and still make it look do-able. That's quite a skill sir! Thanks.
This one will take me a lot of pause/rewinds lol.
Ha! Thanks for that - much appreciated and I hope you have fun with it. I’ve cut my caffeine intake in half. Cheers! Shane
thanks- I like how you go fast for us that know the chords and guitar.
SHANE! First time I saw your bodhran! I've been playing for 25 years... When I was learning guitar, I got so frustrated with the DDUDU crap that I just went with my gut...and adopted tipper technique to strumming. In 5 minutes I was playing all the chords I had memorized!!
Bodhran. Great teacher! 😁
Thank you James - that drum helps a lot for sure. Same kind of action as strumming. My best to you and hope you're having fun with it all. Cheers, Shane
Brilliant video as usual. Great lesson.
Thanks Chris - my best to you. Happy New Year! Shane
Thank you!...always got tripped up on the picking!
By far the best version on RUclips. Thank you sir!
Thanks Doug - greatly appreciated! Shane
THANK YOU, VERY MUCH!!!! FOR BREAKING THIS SONG DOWN, SO WE CAN BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO PLAY THIS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL SOUNDING TUNE!!!!!!!
Thank you! Cheers! Shane
this is one of those iconic classic rock songs. evryone guitarist should know this one. time to pull out my acoustic
Agreed - Cheers, Shane
You are a great teacher, it’s like I am in the room with you.
Thanks for that - fabulous comment. I appreciate! Shane
How could you not love Boston?
Dude, you are so badass. I have been learning so much! You literally think of EVERYTHING in your lessons. Can you please do some Jewel videos? Hello from California!
Thank you Sunshine! Shane
Very good sir. 👏👏👏
Thanks again Ronnie - Cheers! Shane
I love how you show the fingers movement from one cord to another. I usually have to work these things out on my own. Thank you sir for an excellent video.
Very glad it works for you - enjoy! Shane
I subscribed to your site. Starting guitar at about 15 years old. Got married at 21 had kids and didn't continue until lately. So I am really at a beginner level. Thank you for your video. Now I am 59 my kids are not here anymore so I am so ready to learn how to play again. I know I can play this song with practice. Thank you very much.
Thank you Fernando - very happy to have you here with us. Hope you have fun with it!
Shane
Much better quality then Marty ...music charts and details tips second to none.
Love your videos man
Thanks Tuco - much appreciated and hope you're having fun with it! Shane
As a fellow Canadian growing up in the 70’s there was a ton of great bands around and great songs filled the airwaves so naturally when I came across your RUclips channel I was hooked! Love your teaching style, love the song selection and the Canadian content, from BTO to The Tragically Hip! A huge fan from The Dirty Shwa! 👍🎸🇨🇦
Thank you Gerald - really great to hear that. Happy to have you with us and greetings from the Nation's Capital. Cheers!

I want to thank you very much she Ain I've been listening to you for some time now I play guitar I only play by ear but I've certainly learned a lot of stuff from you I'm learning all those diminished chords and sus chords I usually only played standard cords which I'm not a bad player lot of people told me I should even get out there before but you are really helping it along I make ityou you make it feel like wow I need to start all over again thanks again
That’s fabulous - thanks Marc! Shane

Shane
Do you mean hands down, up, up, down? J/K
I've always known this was an amazing song, ever since I first heard it way back in '76, but learning it has given me an even deeper appreciation for it's awesome structure! I just love what they did with it! It just **fits** if you know what I mean. Thanks for taking us through it. Definitely adding it to my list of songs I want to learn. 🙂
It's not easy , I'm doing it in manageable chunks , but the pleasure ( and smile ) you get from each mastered part really is immeasurable . Stick at it . Small steps . Nothing really worth having comes easy - If you bite off too big a chunk of steak and try to eat it , it will choke you .Small bites are waaaaay more enjoyable . More than a mouthful ... 😉
Thanks for taking the time and making a great instructional video. Means a lot to us that are beginner-intermediate players. 👍
Thank you Patrick - I really appreciate that. Happy to have you with us and I hope it's going well!
Shane
Thank you! This is great ;)
DEADLY LESSON --- EVERYBODY LOVED IT ...

A big thank you Dave - really appreciate the encouragement and very happy to have you here with us!
Shane
Just amazing! Thank you sooooo much!!!!
Brilliant lesson, so easy to follow, you're really good, love your videos
If your looking for a song to do ive been trying id love to change the world by ten years after i just can get the picking and that b7 cord look forward to learning with some of these videos thanks
Thanks for that - great suggestion. Cheers, Shane
Awesome. I bet you could do a great guitar arrangement on Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg. That melody line is to die for. A terrific ballad probably everyone can relate to. It’s more of a piano song but you have a such a gift for emulating the piano pieces on guitar. Can’t believe Fogleberg was taken from us at only age 56 to prostate cancer. I survived it but I feel guilty-just imagine what other incredible songs he would have written if he was still around.
Thanks for that, Cheers, Shane
really enjoying your lessons... like kenny bania(seinfeld) would say " that's gold shane!"
CAN YOU RECOMMEND, OR DEMONSTRATE SOME OF THESE OFTEN USED "ARPEGIATED CHORDS", AND THE SUB-VARIATIONS, USED TO "WALK BETWEEN ON CHORD, AND ANOTHER, AS YOU DEMONSTRATED IN THIS WONDERFUL TUNE?!...PERHAPS, USE SOME NEIL DIAMOND, OR JOHN DENVER TUNES,... ETC...?
Nice :-)
You have a great way of distilling things down into bite size pieces.
Thank you Mike - glad to have you with us here and hope you are having fun with it!
Shane
Ive just found your channel sir, ive been learning guitar since i was 11 years old, im 57 now and i sort of lost my mojo . You have got me interested again. Thankyou. Subcribed. Carnt wait for more.
Thanks Mike - that's great to hear - hope you are having fun with it and happy to have you here with us!
Shane

Great tutorial! I've been watching for this one!
Thank you William - very glad to hear that. Hope it's going well. Cheers!

Great lesson. Looking forward to see your teaching of the solo :)
Thanks a lot for this lesson. Its always suprising to see how a common line as D - C9 - G can sound when played and emphasized perfectly.
Thank you Detlef - good to hear from you! 3 great chords for sure.
Cheers!
Shane
Subscribing now! You are a 'keeper' for sure. Best tutorial on this song that I have found. Clarified what others didn't. Brought my understanding to a new level, esp on that tricky rhythm. This definitely will improve my playing. I've been playing two and a half years. Namaste..
Thank you Elisabeth - a really great comment to receive - very glad to have you with us!
Shane
Love your Taylor, hopefully I'll get mine soon👌

Superfriend power chord
Power chords in the chorus yes John. Cheers, Shane
Hi Shane. Just a quick question.....at 4:08 your last note before you hit c add9 is the open G. At 6:36 and 6:50 it is 1st finger on 2nd fret of G. Can you let me know if I am reading this wrong, or which is the correct one?
Thanks. John.
Hi John, thanks for that. The open G is correct as per the original song recording. . It will sound odd if you pause on it but is the right note and sounds good when strung all together. Cheers,
Shane
@@GuitarAtWork Great. Thanks Shane. 👍
