Thanks for writing out the lyrics and chords brilliant. Aces

Thank you for this one Mike, still working on it. I know this song from a favourite film, Family Man with Nicholas Cage.

Thanks Mike for yet another great tutorial. So many great songs that I'd forgotten...

you're so cool. thank you for this!

Dear Mike, this lesson is tremendously fantastic; it brings huge lot of fun to play this great Floyd tune such way you show this here, thank you very much for that and please keep up your great work. Your relaxed and smooth way to bring us the lessons is unmatched. Cheers Achim

WHAT A TUNE…. Well done , 🎉🎼👍

As one of your patrons said below Steve Goodman (RIP) wrote this song but popularized by Arlo! Love your rendition.

Hi Mike Thanks a lot for this song Is it possible for you to teach us "deportees" by woody Guthrie? Denis from France

This is easier to play than the way I've been doing it. My main thing is to get the folks engaged, singing. Now all I have to do is make sure I know what note for me to start singing. This sounds great on my Kevin Kopp Trail Boss (his version of a 12-fret torrefied Adirondack-Maple SJ 200). I could never find an SJ-200 with an easy to play neck. So Kevin made a great soft V for the guitar neck. Thanks, Mike.

What just happened!!You blew my mind,yesterday I learned a pink Floyd tune and today a fantastic song,I have been at this guitar thing for a while and I thank you for inspiring me to try something different.

Thanks Mike! Arlo is a treasure!!!

Very nice..Willie Nelson also song this song always ❤it. Thanks Mike

No!! Steve Goodman wrote this song.

Are we using a digital tuner to change the tuning, would that be easiest way?

Arlo was one of my favorite musicians. I bought the Alice’s Restaurant dvd which was good and funny.

One of my favorites Mike! Thanks for the simpler rendition. Have a great extended weekend!

Hey Mike....been catching up on your last couple of tunes.Great as always.We all appreciate your time and effort. Im getting a great repritroie of MK tunes, might have start paying royalties!

A really great rendition, Mike! Thank you for the lesson. Great job! 💯👍🆙

THAT GUITAR HAS THAT BEAUTIFUL DEEP BASS!! KILLER

Best video, sounds unreal!

Great lesson..great playing..

All the leaves still green here.Hah good job!

You crushed it with this song! Wonderful! Not sure if you take requests, but in case you do, I always wanted to learn how to play Arlo Guthrie's song "City of New Orleans." Keep up the great work! We veterans appreciate you teaching us. Semper Fi, Patty

LOVE this song!!! Thank You Mike Kelly! Semper Fidelis!

💜🔥💜🖖😎👍🇬🇧

Is that a Yamaha FG-300? I had one and had it stolen from me. Got it for my 16th B-day in 94 and my brother's wife was neighbors with one of Grand-pa Jones grandsons and he sold it for $600. Best playing guitar and sounded so good. Made in Japan. Probably was a 70s or 80s

This guy is so good!! Great video Mr Kelly!!

Thanks for sharing this lesson on such an iconic song!!!

It sounds great! Thanks for this lesson!

Now that’s a tune I will be whistling all day now, it’s always been catchy … brilliant tune, I will give this a shot .. thanks Mike 👍🎼

Love this song Mike, love your lesson too

Those Alvarez Yairi FYM66HD's are pretty nice. I was looking at a DYM60HD dreadnaught, but the Martin D18 had cleaner notes. I have a Bourgeois Custom OM Large Sound Hole Adirondack-Walnut that this tune works on nicely. I recall playing this decades ago BUT never messed with the intro because of the guitar duo, and then it faded away for a time. Thanks for bringing it back. Maybe my flute friend can add a solo.

Nice Mike! One of my all time favorites that I would listen to as I cruised around in my 1965 mustang! A little fast chord changes so it will take practice. Thanks and have a great weekend!

Incredible job on my Favorite!!

Thanks Mike!

Cool, good tune! Is that an Alvarez guitar ya got there? Jeez, I bought an Alvarez, dam, it’s been while back now, maybe 5 years ago, but it’s an electric acoustic and I only played it a couple times and I leaned up against my pool table and it slid sideways and it busted the G string tuning peg right off the bastard and I’ve never fixed it yet to this day! I can’t just put it back on either, it’s like the peg itself just fell apart or some shit. But I bought it cuz it plays and sounds so nice! I gotta take it in and get it fixed now that I see your playin one……..🥴🙄😂🤣 🎸 🤘🏼 ✌🏼

that guitar sounds heavenly! thanks for sharing!
