      Good Guitarist you are a very good guitarist could you show this song on a acoustic guitar if you have one? 😊 🎸

    @AllThingsGundam Před rokem +6

    I am not a beginner, I've been away from playing guitar for a long long time. And I lost a lot of what I remember how to play, So I really do appreciate this lesson, and you making it easy just like my old guitar teacher did!

    Just started guitar four days ago and I have been playing and learning all day since. Your videos are really helpful and I actually understand the chords. Fingers hurt just a little but i know where my boundaries are and the only real trouble trouble is with the pull offs and quick chord changes, but with practice I can do them. Thanks

    • @Good_Guitarist
      @Good_Guitarist  Před 7 lety +4

      You're right! With practice, you can do anything here. It sounds like you have a good plan for learning - not all players do. Do keep coming back and learning here, we will always have more lessons for you.

    @shadow2440 Před 3 lety +2

    You're probably the best teacher I've come across. With the tabs & that calming voice. It must take you a lot of time to edit!?!!! Coming from someone who's been playing on & off for over 40 years. Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!🤟🤙✌👍

  • @robino0821

    @tg-nu1xc Před 2 lety +1

    Great lesson. Not all good players can effectively teach what they know but you are a natural. Great camera angles on the fret board too. Looks like you decided to do it right after seeing so much inadequate camera on other teaching videos and you've succeeded. Nice job!

  • @timleem3609
    @timleem3609 Před 7 lety +1

    Great lesson - very clear and concise. Having the tab and chord diagrams really helps together with the strum patterns. I have to say you are one of the few tutors on the internet who are easy to understand with excellent visual aids. I'll be subscribing and look forward to being able to play a few of these lessons and maybe impress my wife! Thanks.

    • @Good_Guitarist
      @Good_Guitarist  Před 7 lety

      No doubt she's already impressed by you because she is already your wife, but learning some tunes is always a good way to go the extra mile! In fact, my wife and I met through making music together.

    @DMBvid Před 4 lety

    For the lick at @ 2:31, after the G chord, start with a B Flat as the first note, not an A (open string). I've seen Ed King address this specifically in videos as how he wrote it and played it. When you play it like that, you will immediately hear the difference. Ed King was a genius when he composed this song.
