    Hi Justin, some people have a knack for taking something simple and making it complicated. You, on the other hand, have taken the incredibly beautiful song “Greensleeves”, which sounds like a complicated song to play, and you have taught it in a manner that puts it within the grasp of the average player. That is no small feat, and you deserve sincere praise for being such an excellent, effective teacher. That’s not to say that learning the song is going to be a walk in the park because there are lots of things to sink your teeth into (rolling your fingers, only playing specific notes and not the entire chord, playing in time, etc), but you’ve demystified the song by providing chord diagrams, tabs, , excellent demonstrations, repetition, etc, plus you provide lots of encouragement and suggestions for success.
    After watching this video, I am completely confident that I can learn this song, just in time for Christmas!
    Thank you and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

    Absolutely gorgeous! It's posting is a bit late for me... I just played this in a "concert" for the other monks I live with. Since I'm just a beginner (following your courses, natch), I played the chords as simply as I could. This inspires me to keep going... thanks, Justin!

      Ya. I had to keep it to chords only and try to find the rhythm with strum patterns. I could do some of the little single note fills but I'm a picker, never been good at plucking... My fingers are too big.... There's gotta be a euphemistic joke in there somewhere... Lol

    My password wouldn't work. I submitted the form for reset to have a reset link sent to me. It didn't show up in my email. I've tried it about 10 times, and even tried to a different email thinking maybe I wasn't using the right email.
    I don't know where to go from here.

    Sorry, but this gives me the willies. This song was a staple in our music school and the piece required to be mastered before moving further along to the performance section. I had a mental block then and it still haunts me now after getting through it and later performing classical music for 20 years. To play this on my guitar would ruin the instrument for me :)

    Alas my love you do me wrong
    To cast me off discourteously;
    And I have loved you oh so long
    Delighting in your company.
    Greensleeves was my delight,
    Greensleeves my heart of gold
    Greensleeves was my heart of joy
    And who but my Lady Greensleeves
    I have been ready at your hand
    To grant whatever thou would’st crave;
    I have waged both life and land
    Your love and goodwill for to have.
    Greensleeves was my delight,
    Greensleeves my heart of gold
    Greensleeves was my heart of joy
    And who but my Lady Greensleeves
    Thy petticoat of sendle white
    With gold embroidered gorgeously;
    Thy petticoat of silk and white
    And these I bought gladly.
    Greensleeves was my delight,
    Greensleeves my heart of gold
    Greensleeves was my heart of joy
    And who but my Lady Greensleeves

      Greensleeves seems to have been written in Elizabethan England so your church may have pinched the tune and added their own lyrics. It used to be thought that the original was written by Henry the VIII but it seems that the style its written in was not really in use until Elizabethan times.
