Thank you for your positive comments. Nothing beats the old classics. If you like Andy Kim and this type of music, you’ll find my channel has many similar songs. I hope you subscribe, follow my channel and check out many other classic I have on this channel. Thank you my friend.

@@myacousticlounge I’m not a fan of Andy Kim tbh , I heard it on a music reaction channel I visit regularly and realised that loved it from when I was a kid , I’m mid level to incompetent on the acoustic guitar so I enjoy tuneful but easy to play songs , i suspected this track fell into that category and just to be sure I looked to see if anyone had actually uploaded a tutorial .. Voila !! Thank you so much , yes of course I’ll subscribe and like and I’ll take you up on checking out your content. Again , thank you 🙏 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks Jim. I appreciate the positive comment!

Thanks AmberSky, I’m this is a great, easy song and a good fit for the Acoustic Lounge.

Thanks my friend!

Hi Doug, I believe you’ve discovered where the settings are listed in my tutorial. So you know. All of my BB settings are listed in the introduction. There may be an exception in my earlier tutorials. In those cases I’ve added that information to the description of the video. Hope you like, subscribe and share my videos. Thanks!

Haha! Yes, great minds do think alike my friend. The guitar I’m using is my Yamaha FG Transacoustic. I use it for busking mostly because I love the built in reverb and chorus effects in the guitar. It’s fun to play!

Hi Doug, I’m not sure I understand what your asking me. Is this a general question as to my preferred Beatbuddy settings? Or are we asking about this song specifically?

I see you have told the setting in video It is so helpful I just got a beat buddy It’s amazing Do you use T C helicon play acoustic?

@@DougGodfrey-qr4to I do have a TC Helicon play acoustic. In my video tutorials, I’m using a TC Helicon Harmony GXT which is very similar but has less features.

Thank you! I appreciate your positive feedback. I hope you subscribe, like and share my channel.

Thanks Wendy, i appreciate the positive comment! I hope your subscribe, like and share my channel.

Hi Mandy, thank you leaving a comment. This is a very basic 6/8 strumming patter. I have some slap strums and nuances unique to my style of playing but at the core of this song, it’s simply a 6/8 time signature. Below is a tutorial I found and I really like the way this host explains 6/8 strumming. I’ve never done a video outlining how to do this myself so I’ve attached this one I’ve found. I hope this helps. This is a beautiful song and definitely worth learning. czcams.com/video/a8HzyqvBdOk/video.htmlsi=mKVu9w5WvSrYgZSM

Thank you for your positive comment!

Thanks for this honest comment. I made these changes for a few reasons. A bit of a read but allow me to explain. My channel analytics show the average watch time of my videos is only 6 minutes? The average length of my tutorials before this change was between 10 to 15 minutes. I’m sure you can appreciate that It takes a great deal of time to put these videos together. To learn that very few people watch the entire video is a bit of a shock. The second reason has to do with copyright. You may have noticed that many of the CZcams content creators who have more than 100k followers don’t do a cover. This is because they will instantly get a copyright on their video if they do. For those that are trying to make money off of CZcams, doing a copy of a song doesn’t help. As soon as you get a copyright, any money from that is generated from the video goes to the original song writer and not the content creator. So, I’m making an effort to separate the cover from the lesson. The covers have newly added chord charts to follow, so if your more advanced in your guitar playing, this may be all you need and you don’t need the “lesson” Lastly has to do with content. CZcams loves content. And is pushing for “video shorts” The more videos you put up the better chance a video will get seen. I truly love putting these videos tutorials together but they are time consuming. At this moment in time, I have not monetized this channel so I’m doing this completely for free. As of today, my tutorials have been viewed more than 600k times and yet I only have 4K followers? I’m simply looking to gain more followers and have my tutorials viewed in their entirety. Will I keep this formate? It’s to early to say. I’m just trying to find a format that gets my video tutorials watched and more people following my channel.

@@myacousticlounge yeah, it's hard to guess which way is the "right" way (according to CZcams algorithms...)

And some more feedback, the beatbuddy settings are my favourite part! (I love my beatbuddy)

@@thatbusinesstrainer1414 thanks again for commenting. It’s all in an effort to get noticed. Sometimes when I search up how to play a song, the tutorial I made is so far down on the video list people simply don’t scroll that far to see it. It’s really no different than a Google search. The one that pays for that first slot get the business. In the CZcams world, The ones that have the most followers get the first few slots because the advertising gets seen more. The CZcams algorithm will be the death of me! CZcams recognizes 100k follower mark and that’s my goal. I’ve been doing CZcams tutorials for 5 years now. I have 188 tutorials, 600k views, countless hours putting together these tutorials and again…. only 4K followers. I’ve got to try something new my friend!

I noticed you a couple of weeks ago because I was looking for a Tom Petty tutorial. I look for visual aids such as strum patterns and chords. I love this way and your background is boss and you are very clear with your instruction. I have you saved to watch later tonight for my Lesson. I’m very excited!😊

Hi Andrew, In many cases, the strumming pattern can change in a song when transitioning from verses to choruses. I personally incorporate a number of muted slap strums, variations and Nuances, unique to me when I Strum cords. It’s not always consistently the same throughout the song and it’s not always the same as the original. Keep in mind, there’s no right or wrong way to strum chords to a particular song. What’s important is learning the general rhythm. As you practice and get the general rhythm of a song down you’re trying to learn, you’ll find variations and nuances that work for you. My advice to you is play the song, not a strumming pattern. With that, I’m loosely playing… A Chord ⬇️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬇️ D Chord ⬇️⬆️⬇️⬇️ E Chord ⬇️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬇️ I’m also going to include this video tutorial (below) I did about strumming patterns and their perceived importance. If you have some time please have a look. czcams.com/video/Tugs7htczpY/video.htmlsi=g5wZjiduoow2UXTP

Hey Mr. Troia, thanks for taking the time to comment. This channel appreciates both positive and negative feedback.

Hey my friend, thanks for your great comment. If you’re a Neil Diamond fan, I have a number of tutorials featuring some of his great songs. Hope you check them out and subscribe!

Thank you! I appreciate your positive comment.

Well then I shouldn’t mention any of the other John Mellencamp tutorials I do on my channel.. we wouldn’t want the back button to snap off the keyboard..just saying

If you like this song, I have several Neil Diamond tutorials on my page. Hope you subscribe and check them out as well.

Thank you!

Hey! Thanks for commenting. Unfortunately no, you can’t change the songs on the BeatBuddy using the ToneMatch.

Welcome back!

Thanks AmberSky!

Hi Mr. Kennedy, thanks for your question… Most of my video tutorials show the Beat Buddy settings in the intro of the video. In this case, have look at minutes 1:37 (bottom right). For this song I’m using Country 8 - 81 BPM Ballad Kit. Good luck!

Hey Mike, thanks for you email. I’m quite happy with how this song turns out with my gear!

Thank you! What a great song!

Thanks AmberSky!

Thanks my friend. I wasn’t familiar with Nu Breed. Just checked them out. Welcome to my house is a fantastic song! I can hear the similarities between the two songs.

@@myacousticlounge when I play the G cord (for Welcome to my house), I play it with the 6 (E), 5 (A), and 2 (B) string. I leave my pinky off the 1st (high e) string. I'd play and post it... but I don't sing 🤣 and my lapel mic isn't that good at picking up the sound. 😔 I think I need more equipment than just my guitar. 🤣 Keep up the great work my friend and thanks for sharing. 🙂

Thank you! As always, I appreciate your positive feedback.

Thank you for you continued support! Much appreciated. 😊

Thanks Robert, always appreciate your comments and you always have great suggestions for future tutorials. So many songs, so little time my friend! Adding this R.E.M song the the list 👍🏻

Thanks for this great comment! If you like these great classic rock songs my channel has many more tutorials that I’m sure you’ll appreciate. Hope you like and subscribe. Thanks for your support!

@@myacousticlounge I did like and subscribe right after I watched the video. Thanks for getting back to me and I look forward to watching your other video lessons. I am sure I will learn a lot from them!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a positive comment Mike! I appreciate it very much. Hope you subscribe and follow my channel.

I do follow your channel.🙂

This is an excellent comment! You are correct in your assumption. Steve Winwood has that classic rock, high pitch and tone that can be challenging for any mere mortal to sing. I will (at times) take a great song and “re-work” them to a certain degree to make it easier for the average singer (like myself) to sing the song. At the end of the day this is a simple guitar lesson and tutorial. I put a cover version together at the end to show how the chords I use comes together with the song. Again, an excellent comment. I hope to subscribe and give your feedback to other tutorials I have. 👍🏻

Thank you for your positive comment. I appreciate it very much. I hope you subscribe and follow my channel!

Thanks my friend, I appreciate your positive comment.

Great comment, Thank you!

Hi, that’s actually not an easy question to answer as the pedal’s turning knobs have no numbers. So I’ll do the best I can here using a clocks time as the example…. Dry knob is completely off (zero) Synth knob is set to between 9/10 CTRL 1 set to around 1 CTRL 2 set to 11. You likely have to dial it in to your specific gear and liking. Hope that helps.

@@myacousticlounge Thank you, really appreciate it.

Thanks AmberSky, you’re a great supporter of this channel. I appreciate it!

I hope so!
