Thank you! Another online teacher that I really like was teaching this with an Emaj9 rather than Emaj7. It never sounded right to me and it was much harder to play. Now I’ll be able to play this!
Tennessee and I was a teenager in the 70s so far too many "favorite" songs to list but i was/am a big fan of all things Motown and this song is among my favorites. Thanks for the lesson!
Thanks for this! The first position sounds best, and it's important not to voice the G# on the high E every other time, which is more difficult than it sounds! Watching this, I also figured out the descending solo middle melody using the regular E scale. One of my all time favorite songs.
angela hello, great song excellant job with your lesson,very impressed, they way you teach,im from watertown ny , maybe sometime with your lessens , how about could it be im fallin in love the spinners, the would be cery cool,thanks again, learned something from use, buffers...
I always enjoy your lessons. One thing I really appreciate is that you start with playing what you're going to teach. I'm just a mediocre guitar player but I'm a quick learner and pausing and repeating that opening play through usually gets me most of the way there. Still, I play the whole video (every week, even if it's not a direct hit for me) because your stats matter to me and I want you to keep it up! Most campfire strummers only add a few songs to their bag every year and you are responsible for some of the songs I play that get great reactions from my friends and family. Everyone has different tastes and different abilities and you do a fantastic job of teaching in a super encouraging way for a broad audience. I know that there are people watching who've learned things that they thought beyond them because of your comfortable presentation. For me, some of your videos absolutely hit the bullseye of my interests and skills and this one was one of those. Thanks.
Am I the only one struggling with those buffering fingers? 😅 I end up buffering the 2 strings I want to play as well . I'll keep practicing Angela . I love your vidéos . Hello from Montréal.
I think it’s just a touch thing and sadly it comes with practice. It’s like palm muting with the strumming hand. Again these are all theoretical , abstract concepts that I have yet to master. Master, ha how about even remotely get close to ! Don’t give up the fight tho. Day by day, step by step !
Hi. I don't know if you will see this Angela, I'm from Shropshire in the UK. My brother and I and a couple of mates have started a band. None of us have played for 40 odd years. We are in our 60s. Trying to find good lessons on some songs is really difficult. So far I am using Tenessee Whiskey, Trouble and now amazingly I'll be around. All your versions. We are working towards a gig for my brothers 60th next May. I'll make sure we record our efforts and share them with you. Thank You So Much.
Whenever ya want me, Ill be there. Cool song, Cool new axe. Although Im not old enough to be around in the 70s, Ive heard that anything by Boston or Chicago could be the fave of this California Man. Also the song California Man (Cheap Trick) or any song by Cheap Trick (Theyre not from california either)
I've always loved this song but I would never even considered learning to play it on an acoustic. Can't wait to try it. Thank you Angela and congratulations on the 100K subs.
That's a smooth sounding lil didi Angela 👍 "70s tunes"??? What about? Up on Cripple Creek by: The Band... That's a funky sounding tune... I write, sing & play mostly Country & bluegrass music... I do enjoy watching and hearing you play guitar and I think you're a very pretty, & seemingly level headed woman... I'd love to meet you sometime when you come through Nashville... Merry Christmas 🙏
130 am I'm tuning in with my guitar keys😂 I've been learning alot from your lessons problem is I can't pick 1 to do!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! Keepem coming!!
Great lesson on a classic song!!! I have a request: "Spooky" by Atlanta Rhythm Section. Great tune and vibe. Absolutely love your channel!!! Cheers from Florida!!!❤❤❤
Great song choice from 1 of the Great R&B groups of the 70's 80's etc, so many songs from all types of music, Boz Saggs Lowdown is 1, also the Spinners Could it be I'm Falling in Love. Very good instuction, detailed etc very impressed that your teaching a R&B song, real good looking guitar, clean sound, l want your type of guitar only with a maple neck-What is it again l belive you mention it at the start of the video,also I'll be looking for more videos from you Thanks
Hello Angela i just found with this video your back with lessons it made me subscribe please keep it coming anything from Pearl Jam will make me watch it.Thank you.
Love that sound Angela. But not the sound I'm making 😂 But it's not going to beat me even if it takes me a year😁. Wishing you "A Very Merry Christmas and All" 🎄🎁🎅

Je ne comprends pas l’anglais mais il me semble qu’elle est très bonne pédagogue. Il manque des tablatures car on ne voit pas très bien la position des doigts sur le manche…
This is a great song and you did a great job but the most important issue is the timing and where the chords sit in the bar and in relation to the lyrics. If you feel the music in eighth notes, all the chords are on the "ands", the weak beats.
Very nice! Love this flavorful ear pleasing tune... it's very memorable and timeless. Cool stuff allright! Thanks for everything you do and share Angela. It's so cool when talented musicians like yourself, take the time and share the knowledge and you do such a great job teaching the little tricks here and there. It is so important for people who are learning. Thanks again, great job!

I may have said this before to you, but it bears repeating…you are one of the very best guitar teachers on RUclips. Maybe the best!
Thank you! Another online teacher that I really like was teaching this with an Emaj9 rather than Emaj7. It never sounded right to me and it was much harder to play. Now I’ll be able to play this!
Third time on this lesson and I may finally be getting the octave process! Thanks for posting !!
Tennessee and I was a teenager in the 70s so far too many "favorite" songs to list but i was/am a big fan of all things Motown and this song is among my favorites. Thanks for the lesson!
Great song
Wonderful tutorial on such such a cool Spinners' tune.
A good lesson for me. I watch you often! (Russian man 69 old.)

One of my all time favorite songs.
Fantastic ❤
I love your teaching style. very clear and concise. Thank you
My first time I was live for one of Angela's lessons. I had a lot of fun. Merry Christmas to you and everyone!
Thank you mam,you are absolutely wonderful,I grew up listening to 70's music,this is one of my favorites🎉❤
Women are just too perfect at everything....I give up...😍
From Denver, Excellent instruction, how do you get that clean sound from your guitar like that, real nice looking guitar. Again Excellent!!!!
angela hello, great song excellant job with your lesson,very impressed, they way you teach,im from watertown ny , maybe sometime with your lessens , how about could it be im fallin in love the spinners, the would be cery cool,thanks again, learned something from use, buffers...
She's Very meticulous, neat ,groovy. Best Teacher.
I love soloing over those chord changes-can go all over the place. Kingfish does an instrumental version of this thats pretty sweet

"Spooky" and this one just gets us there...ya know,...?
The tone is everything 😎
Says much with less.😉
Volume ain't the point👍
Happy Ho-Ho's 😎✌👍❤🖖
Love the Spinners! Thanks so much for this lesson. 🙏🎸
Sahuarita Arizona. Favorite 70's song it "T.V. Eye" by the Stooges.
Wow. Looking beautiful as always. ❤ Thank you for the lesson.💯
I've seen several videos on playing this tune. Yours is the best.♥
Am I the only one struggling with those buffering fingers? 😅 I end up buffering the 2 strings I want to play as well . I'll keep practicing Angela . I love your vidéos . Hello from Montréal.
I have the same problem. More practice is needed
No! You are not!!!!
Misery loves company. I'm relieved I'm not the only one!
I think it’s just a touch thing and sadly it comes with practice. It’s like palm muting with the strumming hand. Again these are all theoretical , abstract concepts that I have yet to master. Master, ha how about even remotely get close to ! Don’t give up the fight tho. Day by day, step by step !
Nope, yer not the only one.

Do That To Me One More Time by the Captain & Tennille
I've always loved this song but I would never even considered learning to play it on an acoustic. Can't wait to try it. Thank you Angela and congratulations on the 100K subs.
Great tune for the video.
So cool! Can't wait to give it a go on my acoustic!
That's a smooth sounding lil didi Angela 👍

Shut up
As always great, greetings from the Netherlands.
Btw nice t-shirt Pink Floyd dark side of the moon. Maybe next time a song of that album?
Killer lesson, Angela! I love the performance of Roberto and Lemmo @ Norm’s too. Thank you for your lessons and sharing your talent!
This one's killer. I'm digging it. The Spinners always had some great groove. Thanks for another good one, Angela! ✌️
130 am I'm tuning in with my guitar keys😂 I've been learning alot from your lessons problem is I can't pick 1 to do!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! Keepem coming!!

My favorite 70's song is probably Sister Golden Hair.
Hello Angela i just found with this video your back with lessons it made me subscribe please keep it coming anything from Pearl Jam will make me watch it.Thank you.
Thanks
Fav song from 70's? Long Train Run.. Doobie Brothers!
Love that sound Angela. But not the sound I'm making 😂 But it's not going to beat me even if it takes me a year😁. Wishing you "A Very Merry Christmas and All" 🎄🎁🎅
The best version of this song was done by the late Australian singer Doug Parkinson with a very young Tommy Emmanuel on guitar.
Wow, really? I gotta check it out.
Here's the Doug Parkinson version. It’s superb. 🦘ruclips.net/video/nRups2i1WEo/видео.htmlsi=9-UUVO89XDDzX21t
Hybrid pluck down/up the octaves. The open B string is your friend. Kinda faux Wes Montgomery. Great fun.
🌠Good Video ..

NICE........!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks...I was close to playing it right til you had a twist on the bar E which was nicer!
How long have you been playing? Just discovered your channel...great lessons!!!
Thank you, is there another way to play that octave, some of us have short pinkies
Keep working on that stretch! You'll get it!
Angela,help me find a left hand guitar teacher,or first left index finger slide teacher, ,,as I only have a left hand injury straightened un bendable index finger,,, ok I have all motion of mt right hand , but before my injury I was an right hand picking player ok, merry Christmas beautiful lady , thanks BigAl California.

Do yourself a big favor and listen to 'I'll Be Around' by the Mills Brothers...
🕶
this makes me want to marry you. 😊
Very nice! Love this flavorful ear pleasing tune... it's very memorable and timeless.
Cool stuff allright!
Thanks for everything you do and share Angela.

Am I the only one, that can barely hear her voice, on their phone ?🫢
