I knew there were a lot, not that there were 25.000 recorded (and released) versions of it. Makes me think of the father of a woman I knew. He collected different versions of his favourite tune "Caravan". I think he had over a thousand collected at the time. 😲

Thanks! Today I'm doing the last part on this tune, live at 900am pacific time, hope you can make it 🙂

Thanks, I am looking forward to improving them bit by bit and make the streams more smooth. That'll come with time. The hardest part is to be engaging haha Which is weird because I have no issues at all when I'm around people to have fun, crack jokes etc etc. A stream is different :-)

Thanks Pete! Would an evening stream be better for you?

@@Yourguitarworkshop would be for me. I practice at night so it would be convenient but either way I watch and practice with them. I’m making up for lost time!

@@petestern3639 I will do some evening streams after august break to see how that goes. Also will be trying out a dual stream youtube and twitch at the same time, see how that goes 🙂

Thank you so much! My 7year old son is also a big Metallica fan so possibly there will be more Metallica coming to the channel 🙂 Wishing you a wonderful week, Love from BC, Canada

Yeah I have some fingerstyle things planned, hopefully this week ,otherwise it'll be next week 🙂

Really good question and the quick answer is: Yes! I am setting up a new channel dedicated to beginner players and I will start doing live sessions there as well. This will likely be sometime in September.

My name is André, we're living up in BC, Canada. 40km from the US border and not too far from Spokane I think. Billy and Marcus gave it their own twist I think but it is based on Doc Watson's version of this tune I think. The original was by Gershwin

Truth is in the eye of the beholder, but in this case the beholder might need some glasses ;-)

The neck on the Berlin is a nice to play but for these chord-melody-type songs I've come to appreciate the feel of the stratocaster which has a slightly wider neck. I have fairly big hands so there's more space for finger placement. BTW if you see one of the transcription videos on this tune you can see I was struggling with sections in the beginning for sure. I've just put in a few hours of practice so it is starting to come together. 🙂

I did that one actually, but maybe a breakdown of the harmonies and such?

Sure, that sounds great. But maybe Africa first if you haven’t done that before?

@@jerroldthompson5889 Probably yes. I've been looking at Billy Strings as well and Marcus King, might do something there. Still looking for the right fit for tomorrow 🙂

...Matues goes on to say in this interview that the guy that actually 'opened his horizons' was actually a band mate who played the keyboard, and the way he used a harmonizer pedal. So no mainstream guitar hero, just a guy in his band producing some really cool sounds.

That's an awesome story. I have learned so much from bandmembers. Through them just playing, sharing their thoughts, or telling me I should play a certain part differently to make it work better with the music. guitar heros can inspire us to play but the people we play with shape how we play with others

Yes I did :-) Here's the playlist: www.yourguitarworkshop.com/guitar-lessons/here-without-you-3-doors-down/

I know some older vinnie moore stuff, this is new to me. Very virtuoso, wow. (assuming you mean this: czcams.com/video/lhrTrNZ9KFA/video.html ) Reminds me of Michael Lee Firkins in places

@@Yourguitarworkshop Oh, I remember Michael Lee Firkins VHS tapes, they were as hard to get in Russia in the 90s as Vinnie Moore. Steve Vai tapes were on every corner back then. But I mean exactly this style - when you use a pick and the middle finger. You can't find any lessons like this on CZcams, only country and bluegrass.

I'll look into it, no promises but I'll have a look. I used to play "runaway train" by Michael Lee Firkins, but that is ages ago :-)

​@@Yourguitarworkshop and yeah man, i forgot to tell you, your government recently blocked us from sending money even to Patreon its kinda annoying.

oh really? I didn't know that. So that's a Canadian thing? That is definitely worrying

Yes he is. There's so much great stuff in his solos. What I thought was really cool is when I saw the rhythms on paper you can see things he uses a lot and they're not really hard to implement into your playing either.

I have all those videos on my patreon, they were getting blocked constantly. I think the main solo is still there, not the outro solo. This is the main solo link on youtube: czcams.com/video/0zVM-irWhTs/video.html You can watch it outside the USA (maybe try a VPN?), everything else is blocked

@@back2frontguitar113 I would hope not. If you need a calculator to add 7 + 12 or 8 + 7, then maybe my 7 year old can offer you some tutoring 😉

I could always use my fingers but then I wouldn't be able to play the guitar. Hehehe love your work.

@@back2frontguitar113 haha true true 😀

yeah that sucks, I did a live stream on this thing, you can check it here, maybe the golden tip is in it somewhere: czcams.com/users/livemK1ru4LjGtc

I've worked on that tune with one of my students, maybe I'll drop it in one of my live streams, I'll think about it

half step down 🙂

@@Yourguitarworkshop I just figured that out thanks for getting to my comment. I missed the live this morning I was at work. You have the best content. I’m going to join your patron

@@Ghragle- This morning was the pinched harmonic stream, next week on Wednesday we'll complete the Mateus series on How Deep is Your Love. Have a wonderful week!

Yes! Once you know where to find these things it gets easier to do all sorts of melodies with them

Awesome, have fun 🙂

If you haven't yet, check out my tutorial for his version of How Deep Is Your Love. This upcoming Wednesday at 900am pacific time I'm doing a live stream on the second half of that tune.

10 years already! And now my 7 year old son is listening and learning metallica songs haha

I am doing a live stream on this technique, Thursday july 11th 900am pacific time, maybe we can shed some light onto things then :-) czcams.com/users/livemK1ru4LjGtc?feature=share

In the beginning it requires some practice for sure. It is hard to give tips without seeing you play.

Thanks so much, yeah this is probably one of the most complex tutorials I've done.

Ого, вау, спасибо тебе огромное! Нелегко найти правильный темп для этих уроков. То, что работает для одного человека, не работает для другого. Я рада, что урок пришёлся вам по душе :-)

Thank you so much for sharing this, I didn't know that!

I'd have to think about that for a second myself actually. :-)

Thank you my friend! Hopefully there was something in this stream that was useful for you :-)

Yes, I have to continue that transcription actually, thanks for the reminder, I'll schedule it for next week :-)

If you're still struggling, you can join me on Thursday, July 11th, 2024, at 9:00am Pacific Time for an interactive lesson on pinched harmonics. czcams.com/users/livemK1ru4LjGtc

Bonjour, oh lala
