    It didn't even take me 30 seconds to like it. Some people have this endearing vibe about them & with the family's involvement - truly, a Simple Man. Loved the lesson!

    This is the first song I ever worked on, and to this day I work on it nearly every time I pick up my guitar. There’s so much variation in how you can play it, it’s always fun and interesting. Can be quite a challenge depending on what you wanna do with it.

    This was the very best lesson I found! I love the way you teach this song. Especially calling out the string for the last riff. Thank you so much. I am only a beginner but I was able to follow. Thank you!!

    Put your capo on the first fret, then tune it standard. Take the capo off your tuned in.

    Wonderful lesson Kevin. I’m not that familiar with their songs but the intermediate picking pattern looks like a fun challenge, or even a warm up exercise. Thanks!

    Brilliant way of teaching a relatively complex picking pattern that requires hand and eye coordination. I would offer the best tutorial for beginners and intermediate players on CZcams for this song. I am the the latter, and learned the song in 20 minutes following your clear easy to understand explanations. Just became a subscriber. 👍👍

    loved this lesson Kevin! I really like the relaxed version you played - sounds real nice. Question: what picks does Maggie like the best? I'd go with the medium myself lol! Thanks for another great lesson - you made this song sound so flowing and it is actually relaxing .. nice job

    • @Relaxandlearnguitar

    Hi , Nice lesson. Can you do a lesson on "so far away" by mark knopfler

  • @davidspencer2333
    @davidspencer2333 Před rokem +1

    Another great lesson Kevin! Can you add a tab for that combination picking/strumming you showed us starting at 14:20 in your video?

  • @user-ms5ux5bj9g
    @user-ms5ux5bj9g Před rokem +1

    😂stressing me out too. But how do you tune down? Do you have to re-tune guitar strings to diff notes? Mmm probably but how do you know what to change them too, guess by ear maybe or is there a quick fix 😅 tkx u all xx

    • @Relaxandlearnguitar
      @Relaxandlearnguitar  Před rokem

      Lol. You will need to use a tuner and tune all the strings down 1/2 step. So Eb Ab Db and so on.

  • @veraoates9018
    @veraoates9018 Před rokem +2

    I’m no expert but at around 3:50 after explaining the strum missing beat two you’re playing DDDDU or that’s what it looks n sounds like .. sorry to be pedantic as it sounds good anyway

    • @Relaxandlearnguitar
      @Relaxandlearnguitar  Před rokem

      Nice catch :)

    • @veraoates9018
      @veraoates9018 Před rokem

      Sorry Kevin I was just struggling to get my strumming to sound like yours lol

    • @tepoynter
      @tepoynter Před 6 měsíci

      I love this lesson Kevin but I was having the same problem. I just could not hear that missing second strum ; so I finally went to the comments to see if anybody had the same issue. Glad to find the answer. And it sounds great with DDDU.

  • @sweetkittiez
    @sweetkittiez Před 17 dny +1

    I don't understand it some days I can barely get anything to come out the guitar and then some days I sit down and play the song flawlessly within a couple hours

    • @Relaxandlearnguitar
      @Relaxandlearnguitar  Před 17 dny

      That happens. It’s important to play a little a day because it all stacks up and then it clicks and it’s great!

    It's a great song to learn and if you listen to the Scorpions "Always Somewhere ",you'll find them almost identical. I start playing one and end up playing the other. 😊
