[@My1969chevelle]

Thank you thank you thank you!! Ive been struggling with the finger picking notes for over a month now. Almost gave up anyway because I'll never get the singing down. Very nice job!

I enjoy all your videos. You are amazing at guitar and singing. If i lived in vegas all my money would go to private lessons with you

[@LasVegasGuitarStudio]

Thanks a lot Stanley, nice of you to say that.

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Hey this is video is very awesome! Probably my favorite Kenny Loggins song! Fantastic lesson! I wish you were in New York City! It's great the way Kenny composed it and then you de-composed it. Love it. Thank you for posting this.

[@LasVegasGuitarStudio]

Great to hear, Angel. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@deanc.5984]

Awesome playing and singing! I enjoyed this video very much. It looks like the difficult part is the right hand, looks tough.

[@LasVegasGuitarStudio]

Thanks for the comment. Yes, the focus is on the right hand for sure. If you practice the pattern in small pieces and play it slowly you will make progress pretty quickly.

[@stanleyderochea8524]

You played that perfectly. Great singing also

[@LasVegasGuitarStudio]

Thanks Stanley.

[@jameskuri6415]

Do you have your own web page or just the CZcams channel. All of your videos I've seen so far have been pretty flawless. Be proud.

[@LasVegasGuitarStudio]

Thanks so much Dave. The channel is all there is...wish I had more time for it frankly.

[@ToniMattTony]

Beautiful job. I always loved this song me and my brothers would listen to it all the time, it's sad but we don't talk any more. Last year at this time I was given a month to live if I did not have immediate brain surgery. No one showed up at the hospital. Thank you for bring back some memories. I just did my first song post since my surgery on "Sympathy for the devil" If you get a chance check it out on my channel. Than you

[@LasVegasGuitarStudio]

I checked it out. Great job man. Glad to see you are back in the saddle after something like that.

[@ToniMattTony]

Thank you!

[@dontmatter8622]

This is a great tutorial but the picking pattern seems super complicated

[@LasVegasGuitarStudio]

I probably should have tabbed it out. This was before I started doing that in the videos.

[@dontmatter8622]

Las Vegas Guitar Studio no it's not your fault it's just that the song seems like it has a lot of changes in the picking pattern

[@LasVegasGuitarStudio]

Yeah I know what you mean. I tried to keep it as close to what I was hearing as possible.. but realistically, when you go to play it you can do the same basic pattern on each of the chords as they come up and make it sound good without doing every little variation.

[@Billsingsong]

Do you guys have to sing the WHOLE song.....

[@LasVegasGuitarStudio]

Try fast-forwarding

[@davidbensinger7817]

It's much better that way because if you're advanced you don't have to waste time by going thru every bit of the video to pick up on it...& his voice is great I actually enjoyed the singing!

[@hcm1457]

Do u have to be such a WHOLE asshole??
Dude killed this. Love to see what u can do....but u can't come close, ur just a sad hater. Enjoy ur sad ass life bud...
