    For GuitarSwan:
    The first song I learned and performed at my local open mic was this song and it was because of you. That was back in 2011 when I was a much younger man then lol. I really hope that you see this. Because that time in my life was so much better in many ways. I remember watching that video of you playing this song over and over. I would sit in my room for 6 to 8 hours per day in those first 2 or 3 years playing. I want you to know that I am SO SO THANKFUL FOR YOUR VERSION OF THIS SONG. I am actually tearing up thinking of watching your video and the way things were. Thank You for your video and Thanks to you I am still picking the hell out of guitars bud.

    it's New Years Day 2025. I was learning this song yesterday and here I am 3 seconds in pausing and asking myself. "Does this dude have a P-90 taped into a Martin??. For this song??? That's all I got to say for now. Ima hit play and hear this. Have a blessed and prosperous year!

      It's a Seymour Duncan acoustic pickup. Has a magnetic pickup as well as a small mic.

    Awesome instant fan. I'm 20 year experienced Intermediate home guitar/Open Mics.. I always look up different covers to figure how I'll decide to do it. I can tell I'll be working on this way but determined, one of the few songs easier to remember all the words 😂

    Hey Swanny, have been subscribed to you for a long time. Love your playing style. Have to admit on this lesson i get stumped by the 3rd to 4th action. Your Mic is a little in the way and I am not sure exactly what strings you are striking. can you help explain that a little better. Got the first part down pat.

    Nick, man you know your shit, how to transpose flute onto guitar. You make every song you play some much better with all the little do dads you add. I just copied all the notes for the first part without the triad onto paper. Now it is time to practice. I hope I sound close , great job, keep up the great work!

    Thanks been watching since you put it up 10 years ago....always come back to it!!
    Would love to have you do some tunes in your style where you break down the triads a bit more...maybe like simple ones like you said that can be played relatively easily all over the neck. I find that's a great learning tool...practical and theoretical at the same time. Thanks for posting from Chi-town!!

    Nick you know one I'd love to see; how you did it, the way you tuned it is the Allman Brothers ain't wasting time no more.
    you did that a couple years ago that was an awesome one but I didn't know what kind of tuning you were using but it sure came out sounding sweet😎
